When was the last time a comic book catalog actually surprised you—and made you rethink what you’re pre-ordering for the next two months?​

This episode dives into the latest Next Phase and Panels catalogs, helping you sort through a lighter-than-usual slate of publishers, movie tie-ins, and stealth reprints so you can focus your budget on the issues that are actually worth your pull list. Whether you are juggling limited shelf space, trying to spot the next hot key issue, or just want more fun reads and fewer regrets, the discussion gives you a curated roadmap instead of 500 pages of guesswork.

​

Discover which new series (like tech‑thriller Exploit and narcoleptic-mystery Narco) are most likely to deliver fresh, satisfying reads instead of forgettable #1s.

​Learn which anniversary and legacy-style issues (such as Green Lantern #600 and Moonstar #1) might matter long-term for collectors, and which “first appearance” claims are more marketing than milestone.

​Get practical guidance on where to spend and where to skip—across Marvel, DC, Image, Mad Cave, IDW, and more—so your pre-orders match your actual reading tastes.

Hit play now to hear the full catalog walk-through and lock in your smartest pre-order choices before final order cutoff sneaks up on you.
