Ten Cent Takes

Dollar Bin Discoveries: Wandering West Edition

Howdy pardner. This week, we're hanging out in the saloon and checking out some Western comics!
Mike brought the Mad Max-esque Hex #1 to the table, while Jessika picked up the classic Ringo Kid #7.

Issue 95- Planet of Vampires

In honor of Spooky Season™ officially arriving, we're looking at Planet of Vampires! This 1970s horror comic (initially written by Larry Hama!) aims to deliver a sinister dystopian story, but serves up something so-so. 

Dollar Bin Discoveries: Absurd Abominations

Have you ever looked at a comic and thought that it looks ridiculous and terrible... but you *have to* read it?
Us neither. Anyway, this week's Dollar Bin Discovery theme is "Absurd Abominations."

Issue 94: The Jack of Hearts

The superhero with one of the craziest costumes in the Marvel Universe in his own miniseries! It's got everything: A bonkers storyline! Nick Fury! Psychic flashbacks! Comics Code-approved orgies! 
Man, the 80s were wild.

Dollar Bin Discoveries: Bi Pride Edition

Did you know September is Bi Pride Month? That means it's time for us to scope out some Dollar Bin Discoveries featuring proud bi characters!
Jessika scoped out Old Lady Harley 3 while Mike read Hellblazer 51, two DC comics featuring two very different forms of representation!

Issue 93: Street Fighter

Did you know Street Fighter has 80 different comic books? Did you also know that it all started with Malibu's Street Fighter series in 1994, which is one of the worst things you'll ever read?

Dollar Bin Discoveries: Video Games Edition

In honor of National Video Game Day coming up, this week's Dollar Bin Discovery theme is video games!
Both of us looked at adaptations of 90s games. Jessika picked out Sonic the Hedgehog: In Your Face, while Mike snagged the first issue of Udon's Darkstalkers comic adaptation!

Issue 92: Cyberella

This week, we're diving into Cyberella! More awkward misses than satirical hits, this short-lived cyberpunk series from an equally short-lived DC Comics imprint isn't nearly as funny as it tries to be. 

Dollar Bin Discoveries: Breakouts Edition

For this week's Dollar Bin Discovery, the theme is "breakouts." 
Jessika picked out Rogue #2, because it was the first time the X-man got a solo comic. Mike decided to look at the X-Men Stridex issue... because zits. 

Issue 91: Marvel's Generic Comic Book™

Did you know Marvel officially created the most generic superhero comic of all time back in the 80s? Well, they did. And it's an absolute fever dream of a book. Get ready, because we're talking about the Generic Comic Book™ !
