Boy there are a lot of comics that come out every month. And the Previews catalog from Diamond is HUGE and filled with so many things! HOW TO MAKE SENSE OF IT ALL??!!Well, don’t worry, Cory!! and Joe have got your back as they go through the books coming out in November and let you know the new stuff that you might like…OK, the stuff they might like, but we don’t know you all that well. Anyway, it’s the Previews episode with the usual shenanigans, and much, much more!

Every year, comic book companies get together to offer Free Comic Books as a way to bring people into comic shops and promote upcoming books. And every year, Cory!! and Joe go to shop to see what they are putting on sale and pick up a big ol’ box of everything that is available so they are review them and tell you what they think! This episode, we recap the day and go over these books:

* DC’s 4 free comics* 10 Tons of Fun* Tales of a Grown Up Nothing* On Tyranny* Archie Past, Present, and Future* Bountiful Garden* Marvel’s 2 Free Comics

All of this, the usual shenanigans and much, much more!

It’s that time again! The new comics catalog for comics coming out in October has arrived, and Joe and Cory!! go through to point out the new stuff they find interesting, fun and worth their money!

Joe has been on the road for the last two weeks and came back with stories of the road. He hit comic shops, Wall Drug, and other fun things as he drove from St. Paul to Reno Nevada! They discuss:

* Joe and Cory wax philosophical about how people with money don’t know much about how normal people live* Joe praises the rental van while his daughter’s car went through a series of breakdowns.* Cory talks about his LAST family trip as a teenager* How Joe scared his wife and daughter to death on a mountainside

All of this, the usual shenanigans and 43 Man Squamish, too!

Joe is out of town this week, so rather than have Cory!! just go on and on and on about whatever pops into his head, we have a fill-in episode of Joe, Cory!! and special guest Bunkhouse Butch driving around the Twin Cities for yet another Geek Day!

Joe had a spare afternoon before taking off for Reno for two weeks, so he and Cory!! sat down to play a Rebooking game:in 1993, the creators on the Spider-Man comics pitched an idea to have Peter Parker find out he was the clone from issue 149 of Amazon Spider-Man, and the character we thought was the clone was the real Peter Parker and had been wandering the country for 5 years. So, they discuss what would they have done as the Editor of the Spider-Man comics when the Clone Saga was pitched. They discuss:

Why the clone saga was started

What it was supposed to accomplish. How to avoid the mistakes make in the storyAnd where would they have gone from there?Plus, the usual shenanigans and much, much more!

The Dreaded Deadline Doom has hit and we are using one of our Fill in Episodes. This time, Joe and Cory!! go through Joe’s sketchbook and the stories behind the sketches. You can follow along:

Did Joe bring his list of comics he is ready to review?No. No he did not. So, instead, Cory!! has to pull topics out of thin air for them to talk about,. Such as:

* Joe asks Cory!! about an obscure Charlton comics and he doesn’t have the answer.* They then talk about comics created for shoe stores. Which was MUCH more prevalent than you think.* What does the Hindenberg have to do with Golden Age comics?* Has Marvel followed up on Marvel Comics 1000?* Change in the Spider-Man creative team and how the comic will come out three times a month* Why Steve Englehart left Marvel in 1976?* Cory!! tells an anxiety story
