First Issue Club Comic Books

This week we talk about Something is Killing the Children. This is your debrief for what Something is Killing the Childen is, or your resource so you don't have to explain it to your family. 

This week were downloading on the best news from NYCC, getting a tour of the many flavors of the newest flavor of Boulevard Brewing Company's Space Camper family of beers, and we're talking about Godzilla and Absolute Wonder Woman. 

Join us on the Patreon for more from Boulevard's Adam Hall and our collective con experiences, along with some fun games and takes on Agatha All Along's last few episodes. 

This week we have a mighty offering of first issues and industry goings-on to get into. Mike D read Vicarious by Ryan Parrott, and Mystique by Declan Shalvey, while Vargas did the heavy lifting & talks us through Batman & Robin, Moon Knight, Where Monsters Lie, Batman Full Moon, and Exorcism at 1600 Pennsylvania.
