This week Dave and Rachelle are sharing some comic book cover clichés that they are pretty tired of. And also some that they will never get tired of.

Also in this episode: Dave runs through the first half of his 31 horror movies that he's been watching this October; thoughts on the season two premier of Riverdale; the new Black Panther trailer; some vaguely relevant thoughts on Harvey Weinstein (because Rachelle can't think of anything else); and reviews of some of this week's comics, including Amazing Spider-Man #789, Uncanny Avengers #28, Mister Miracle #3, and Falcon #1.

Also, Rachelle would like to apologize for the sound quality of this episode. It all sounded great in the headphones during recording, but it turns out the actual recording was being done by the laptop microphone, not the hand-held mics/mixing board. She did her best trying to fix up the audio in editing. Dave, you will notice, was sitting further away from the laptop.

This week Dave and Rachelle are joined by Dave's former Strange Adventures co-worker, Denzel Noylander, to talk about good (and bad) practices by comic shops and comic shop customers.

Also discussed this week: James Cameron vs Linda Carter; Marvel's Legacy; Nick Spencer's final Captain America comic; Kyle Starks' new book, Kill Them All, and Marvel's The Inhumans debuts on televison.
