This week the Budgets back in town, and we're talking about... COUNT EM! THREE new indie comics.

Welcome to the first episode of Podsquisite Corpsecast!!! We talked about the first issue a few weeks back in one of our regular episodes, so if you need to catch up, start there! Otherwise, welcome to the party as we discuss Exquisite Corpses issue 2 as the creative team of Michael Walsh and James Tynion welcomes artist Marriana Ignazzi (who has a killer style!). Also, we need your help! Podsquisite Corpsecast needs a theme song, and we're hoping one of you can help us! We'll send a goody bag to whoever gets the winning theme (and some stickers and buttons for runners up!) Send your WAVs or MP3s to [email protected].

This week Vargas is a solo act! He's pulled some treasures out of the collection and telling their tales. Mostly how he got them signed. He also read some first issues! Bytchcraft by Aaron Reese, Lema Carril, Bex Glendining, and Morgan Martinez out on Mad Cave, and Krypto: Last Dog of Krypton from DC by Ryan North, Mike Norton, and Ian Herring. Lots of content for a single host!

Well, we missed last week and we're sorry for that... But today you get treated with a plethora of issues courtesy of father time. Thats right - TWO WEEKS OF FIRST ISSUES! Today, first and foremost we're talking buckets. Next we get into a marketing gimmick from Bad Idea Comics. On the slate of comics we've got Imperial, Death of the Silver Silver, The New Avengers, The World to Come, and Runaways all from Marvel Comics. On other pubs we've got Batman and Robin: Jason Todd, The Sixth Gun: Road to the Six, and Blood Type!

This week Vargas and Mike are crackin' into previews and giving you the highlights of what stood out to us. In other news — we warn you to avoid some spoilers, Batman and Deadpool are meeting, the Superman cast is going on a world tour, A new Toxic Crusaders comic, Local Comic Shop Day changes, & Bad Idea party at San Diego Comicon. Apart from the books in the title, we're talking about Dark Honor on the Image imprint SYZYGY, and Goddamn Tragedy - a one-shot by Chris Condon out on Oni Comics. Be nice, sign everyones yearbooks, have a great Summer (HAGS), and read lots of comics.

This week we try to think of two celebrities who have appeared as 3 different high profile comic book characters in movies while discussing the Spider-man Nior trailer. Then... You know its all about comics baby. Like the title suggests, we dig into Dan Slotts Superman, Zander Cannons Sleep, The Killer: Affairs of the State II, Whatever Happened to the Crimson Justice?, and Godzilla: Here There be Aliens. BONUS: Vargas missed last week so he catches us up on his take on Exquisite Corpses.

HEY! We've got a lot to cover this week. The Big 2 treated us with a duo of trailers. DC's mega long Superman trailer, and Marvels teaser/trailer for the Riri Williams Iron Heart show. They are both good, but we'll tell you WHY they're good to US!!! In comics we'll discuss the new Exquisite Corpse project that got kick started by James Tynion, the blind bag phenomenon that is Battle Beast (an Invincible spin-off series), a new direction for Supergirl where Sophie Campbell does double duty writing and illustrating Kara back in Midvale, and a brief nod of the hat to Godzilla: Here There Be Aliens.

Today, we'll be talking about the Old Guard sequel, an All-Star Superman audio book, comic supplies tariffs, and alternate timeline for marvels alternate ultimate timeline?!?! The comics we'll be discussing include Star Wars, Captain Planet, Spacequest, Blood & Thunder, and Vargas' pick of the week... Vanishing Point!

This week we talk about wether a newer variant cover can defy the odds, and become a true "Classic" cover over time. AND of course we'll be talking about first issues along the way. Hope you find a new comic you love this week. XOXO - First Issue Club

Today, the club chats about the new Predator movie and the Beauty getting adapted into a TV show on FX! WOO! Then we're reading some comix. They're in the title, and they're goooood!
