Ten Cent Takes

This week's Dollar Bin Discovery theme is "From the Depths," which means we're digging *deep* to dredge up some fun books to discuss. Mike read Radrex #1 for a truly radical story about how far someone will go for revenge. Meanwhile, Jessika checked out Sweet Heart #1, which asks "what if soul-crushing horror became a lifelong event?"

It's time for one more Spooky Season™ episode! This week we're checking out yet *another* cartoon duck property with Count Duckula! Get ready to sink your teeth into a comic about a vegetarian vampire, which isn't nearly as fun as it sounds.

Slap on your spandex and loosen your limbs! This week's dollar bin theme is "Leaping Leotards!" Mike stepped into the ring with Maxwell Madd and His Wrestling Women #1, while Jessika went up north with Captain Canuck #3. Get ready for tight clothes, wild action, and a little slapstick comedy! 

This week, we're looking at Dragon Strike! The Marvel book serves as a prequel to TSR's fantasy board game. Even though the game itself seems interesting and cool, the comic isn't exactly a natural 20 when it comes to charming readers. 

It's Spooky Season! That means it's time to dig up some spectral comics for today's Dollar Bin Discovery Theme: Ghosts. 

Jessika summoned The Spectre #1 and to check out how DC rebooted the character in the 80s. Mike, meanwhile, read Ghost #5 from Dark Horse, which contains a surprising cameo. 

It's time for Round Two of Street Fighter!

This week, we're checking out Street Fighter: The Battle for Shadaloo. Based on the infamous 1994 movie, is this comic any better than the miniseries from Malibu?

Spoiler: It is. But that's a low bar to clear. 

This week’s Dollar Bin Discovery theme is “Fighting Forces,” so we’re squaring up with some rock ‘em sock ‘em comics. Mike investigated the mystery of Adrenalynn: Weapon of War #1, while Jessika learned ninja secrets with TMNT #132.

Just in time for Spooky Season, we're checking out The Legion of Night this week! A two-issue miniseries from Early 90s Marvel with incredible art, this comic teams up several deep-cut characters for a horror adventure story that doesn't always work.

Just in time for Back to School Season™, this week's theme is "Kids." Jessika read Thud #1, where an artist's life blurs together with a comic character he created as a kid. Mike, meanwhile, read Action Comics #466, in which Lex Luthor founds the Baby-Sitters Club. 

This week we're looking at Robotix, Marvel's adaptation of a 1980s Hasbro property that desperately wanted to be the next Transformers. The comic is better than the cartoon, but it is missing the rad theme song.
