First Issue Club Comic Books

On this episode we discuss what it would take for us to not be upset by going to see Endgame again - referring to the promise of "Something new" in the upcoming theatrical rerelease. Besides that, we're reading comics. You've got the two Image ones in the title, plus Hello Body Horror on Boom! Studios, and Event Horizon: Inferno on IDW.

This week we talk about Spalding balls, Southern Bastards casting, and so much more! We're light on first issue releases this week, so the only ones you get are in the title!

A lot of first issues this week! We'll talk about Pretty Hate Machine, Everybody Loves a Jewel Theif, Neighborhood Watch, Fury of Firestorm, Web of Venom, & Romeo & Juliet and Godzilla. Also in this episode: Florida trip, Mind MGMT returning, Flux House "no AI used" stamp, and the Bendis Spider-man legacy discourse.

This week we play a game of "Metal band or comic character?" before talking about first issues with old pal The Budget King! We'll cover Stephanie Phillips new Daredevil run, Captain Marvel Dark Past, Royals by Derek Kirk Kim (who you may remember from The Last Mermaid), the MAD Magazine DC special, and we'll round out the convo with Alien King Killer out on Marvel. I'll also mention we had a great time at Planet Comicon this past weekend, and enjoyed meeting tons of fellow comic fans at the Boulevard Brewing Company Space Camber tasting booth! We'll talk a bit more about our experiences on Monday's patreon episode.

The corpsecast hosts are back in Oak Valley Maine talking issue 11 of Exquisite Corpses!

We had some level issues! I tried to fix them in the edit, sorry they go up and down a bit... I did the best I could! This episode we'll talk about the 3 DC Next Level titles with Lobo, Deathstroke, and Batgirl. Also on DC we got promised a decent jumping on point on Nightwing, so we skimmed that one as well. And if you thought we forgot about Marvel, you thought wrong! Andy read the Sentry. At the top of the episode we'll talk the spider-man trailer, and get all of our fan theories out of the way.

Put on your headphones! It's time for more first issue club. This week Mike and Vargas talk Eve L. Ewings X-Men title that gets the whole gang back together, Imperial Guardians spinning out of Marvels Imperial event, a new red-band Alias series starring Jessica Jones, a new take on Usagi Yojimbo in Kaito '84, and wrapping it up with this weeks indie darling - Tigress Island.

This week, the members of the club collectively read Ben Percy's Punisher, Is Ted Okay by Dave Chrisholm, Spider-Man/Venom: Death Spiral by all the guys, Phantom of the Opera by my dudes, The Peril of the Brutal Dark: An Ezra Cain Mystery by the other guys, and Predator: Bloodshed by the boys.

Exquisite Corpses has gone double digits! Join Greg and Mike as they cover the issue beat by beat, and speculate about what it all could mean for the finality of this series!!! NOTE: We were trying to remember how many issues there were during this episode... it's 13! An issue for each of the 13 colonies and killers.

A bunch of first issues this week, so we skipped the news and got right to readin'. This week we speculate on Avengers Armageddon while reading a Wolverine series lead-in by Chip Zdarsky. Outside of that we're all indies! End of Life by Kyle Starks is full of dirtbags, White Sky on Image Comics is the most hyped book of the week, Kermit becomes a PI in Muppets Noir, A movie frachise extends into comics with Smile for the Camera, stuff obviously gets crazy in Florida Hippopotamus Cocaine Massacre, 80's cartoons meet drug filled action thriller in Death Fight Forever, aaaaaand I think thats it?! Happy reading!
