First Issue Club Comic Books

Vargas and Mike walked into the comic shop this week after taking out an equity loan on the podcast studio, to buy something like 12 first issues! I'll try to list them all for your benefit: Wade Wilson: Deadpool, Cyclops, Jar Jar, and Marc Spector Moonknight are all new volumes out on Marvel. Over on DC's imprints we have have Sirens: Love Hurts on Black Label and Bleeding Hears on VERTIGO!!! (YAY! Welcome back!). On the independent front we've got The Center Holds on Boom, Just Brutal on Ignition Press, and The Thing on the Doorstep on Image comics.

This week had everything: Superheroes, deadites, Riverdale teenages, murderous bears, a planet full of apes, alien vampire babes, haunted dolls, and so on and so forth. Aside from our three crossovers we'll also discuss our picks of the week D'Orc and Ripcord!

We're nearing the end game in Oak Valley Maine! Join us as we recap and speculate about the loose ends of issue 9.

Not only are we talking Wonder Man & Malevolent from Image Comics (as the title promises!), we're also talking about stolen comics, remembering Sal, the Hindenburg baby, Sex Criminals, Spirit of the Shadows 1 on Oni Press, and Iron Man 1 on Marvel Comics. Thanks for listening, and see ya next week chew relievers!

It's episode 420 of first issue club maaaaan! We're talking mostly marvel flashbacks this week with two first issues that take the X-ladies back to revist their pasts, and the publisher plans to revisit the Civil War event.

We're covering brand new comics about Knull, Doom, and some Marvel music stars this episode! In the news we've got another record comic sale, and Russo bros hints about Doomsday. FYI - We tried a different audio setup this week, and it turned out a little fuzzy. Oops! Should be plenty listenable. We'll try tweaking again next week!

How many times will you see Avatar to collect mini-marvel trailers?! We'll talk about them a bit, as well as Archies move to ONI before getting into our comics this week WHICH INCLUDE: Absolute Batman ARK M Special, Hank Howard Pizza Detective: The Two Hollwoods (Best title of the week award winner), and Carmen Red Claw from the world of Hellboy.

We'll talk through some of our favorites from the last year! Also in the news... Blind bag woes.

Another issue, but this time THE ABSOLUTE MOST HAPPENS! Mike D breaks it down for Vargas.

It's a holiday week, so I'm taking some time off from writing podcast descriptions. We do have an episode for you though! The books we cover are in the title!
