We are back in our home studios this week, safely isolated from the outside world. See, the Kansas contingent of the WORST. COMIC. PODCAST. EVER! came down with the con crud following Planet Comicon. While we don't believe we are still contagious, we are playing things safe and staying safely apart from each other.

Now before the con crud took us down, we had a spectacular time at Planet Comicon. Our panel (which you heard last week!) was a spectacular success, in our very humble opinion. In addition, we got to host some incredible panels with the main creator guests of the con. We give you the details of our time at Bartle Hall.

We also did a lot of hustling for the Hero Initiative. With donation buckets on creator tables, our raffle of the DC Trinity statue and some great Hero Initiative merchandise, we raised over $5,000 for Hero. That's two years in a row that we have topped $5,000. Thank you, Kansas City! THANK YOU!

We have our Pick 3 selections for books coming out next week. John and Cullen try to guess Jerry's pick for next Wednesday. Can they pick the right book? In addition, we talk about the first appearance controversy with Major X at Marvel, and Superman putting a lot of faith in the Wonder Twins.

We would love to hear your comments on the show. Let us know what you've been reading or watching this week. Contact us on our website, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, or by email. We want to hear from you! As always, we are the Worst. Comic. Podcast. EVER! and we hope you enjoy the show.
