We’re back in the studio for a Saturday morning comic book unboxing with our friend Martin from Epic Panels! In this episode, we crack open a massive comic bundle packed with DC and Marvel classics, unexpected deep cuts, and collector favorites — all while talking shop about the comic business, holiday collecting, and what makes a great blind box haul.

We also kick things off with DCU news, including James Gunn’s Brainiac announcement, share a real-life update that puts everything into perspective, and then dive headfirst into stacks of comics featuring X-Men, Batman, Silver Surfer, Spawn, Avengers, and more.

If you love comic book collecting, unboxings, deep lore, or discovering hidden gems, this episode is for you.
