Shelfdust Presents

Matt has finished his countdown of the Top 50 Debut issues of all time - so whatever's next? This week he's joined by Shelfdust's head rabbit Steve Morris to look back at the past fifty episodes, and explain what you can expect from the future!

According to critics the best #1 comic book issue of all time is Saga #1 - but how does the issue actually stand up today? For our final episode of the first season, Matt's joined by special guest Oliver Sava to talk all about it!

Is it a travesty that Watchmen #1 wasn't voted as the best first issue of all time? Possibly! This week our special guest Kelly Kanayama has some thoughts about the comic chosen as being the SECOND best #1 issue ever published...!

Oh, bro, this week on the podcast we're talking about Hawkeye #1, a meticulously planned comic which stars the messiest hero of all time: Clint Barton. It created a new approach for work-for-hire comics, and this week Matt is rejoined by special guest Zachary Jenkins to talk all about it!

2 years of unlimited power, and then? Death. Welcome to the world of The Wicked + The Divine, where the world's the limit... but there is a limit. This week Matt is joined by special guest Steve Foxe to talk all about WicDiv's whirlwind first issue!

When Kamala Khan took over the mantle of Ms Marvel, many wondered if she'd last - but the first issue of her ongoing series turned out to be an instant classic, and Kamala herself has become an iconic addition to Marvel's universe. This week we're looking back at her debut, and special guest Adrienne Resha returns to talk all about it!

What is there to say about All-Star Superman which hasn't already been said? Doomed planet? Desperate scientists? Last hope? Oh, you'd be surprised. This week on the show we're bumbling straight back into the first issue, as Matt is joined by august (in the wake of) dawn to talk all about it!

Announced as "the dawn of a new era!", the first issue of X-Men by Claremont and Lee changed everything for everyone. Everything felt bigger and bolder, and the X-Men never seemed so essential or  important before. Or since? Claire Napier returns to the podcast to talk all about it!

Nobody forgets their first time - but for Suzie, that first time has another reason for being so memorable, because whenever she has an orgasm... she pauses time. What happens when she meets another person just like her? Why, you get Sex Criminals #1! Matt's joined by special guest Samantha Puc to talk all about it!

Today we set sail for Krakoa, home of the X-Me... oh wait, that hasn't happened yet. Instead we're going waaayyy back in time for a revolutionary #1 issue which introduced more iconic characters than Cyclops has had hot dinners - it's Giant Size X-Men #1, and this week Matt is joined by special guest Rosie Knight to talk all about it!
