HEY! We're talking about first issues! If you wanna hear about the Fantastic Four trailer, we do that over on our patreon. OTHERWISE, stick around for some Thunderbolts and Diamond chatting. In addition to the books in the title, we've got another GI JOE silent mission (feat. Spirit), and Buried Long Long Ago.

This week we're talking tariffs and what a price increases means for us, and what they might mean for creators, before immediately contradicting ourselves and talking about how much money Skybound already made on the massive Transformers Kickstarter project.

For first issues, we're of course covering the new jumping on point for one the most iconic titles out there — Amazing Spider-Man!! Then we've got some minis and one-offs with Fire and Ice: When Hell Freezes Over #1 out of 6 on DC, and Dani's entry into the series of GI Joe 21 homages (better known as 'the silent issue') with GI Joe A Real American Hero: JINX - Silent missions #1.

We play a little bit of catch up on first issues past and talk Dark Pyramid, and Vargas reads each of the first issues of the Joe Hills old DC Black Label Imprint - Hill House!

There are a ton of first issues this week, and we're talking about as many of em as we can! Shout out to Valiants new Beyond books, that weren't at our shop this week. We'll try to catch up on those on the Patreon next week. BUT, we did cover Absolute Green Lantern, Daredevil: Cold Day in Hell, Deadpool Kills the Marvel Universe One Last Time, Resurrection Man, I Was a Fashion School Serial Killer, and Past Time. OOO-WEE! What a treat. Such a platter. In the news we're talking about TFAWs online pre-orders stopping, new MCU Fantastic Four clips, and Skybound going public.

EMERGENCY BONUS EPISODE! By now, you've surely seen a ton of the news drops from this huge leak across the big 2 and several indie publishers. We're here to bring you our takes on some of the most alarming headlines we've come across so far. Buckle yourselves in! It's gonna be a wild week in comix-ville!

This week we're joined by our pal Chris Hacker – Who you might know from the Oblivion Bar Podcast! We talk a little about crawling Planet Comicon in Kansas City together, before we get into the show, which contains the following... MCU Casting announcements (You probably already saw them, but have you heard our takes on them!?!), Diamond getting sold, the club arguing over Hush 2, and talking about some other great issues like Absolute Martian Manhunter, The Mummy, You'll Do Bad Things, and MoOoOoRe.

Special shoutout to We're Taking Everyone Down With Us that we discussed on a previous episode that formally came out this week, and the wider release of Patrick Hovarths Free for All.

This week we did what we always do... minus one club member :( — but we've got two great first issues to talk about The Last Boy by Dan Panosian, and Absolute Flash by Jeff Lemire. A couple club faves and they both brought it!

This week were talking con prep for our upcoming weekend at Planet Comicon with Boulevard Brewing Co! New beers, new games, and new giveaways to be had. So look out for us at booth #100 and stay tuned to our socials. In the podcast we're talking about Dustin Nguyens cover pay concerns, a doc on Stan Lee's later life, and a few comic books with Assorted Crisis Events, Nick Fury vs. Fing Fang Foom, and Dark Pyramid.

On the patreon we taste test a bunch of new Space Camper varieties, and discuss the first few episodes of Daredevil, and speculate about where the series could head!

This week, the club talks about probably fake concept art for Avengers Doomsday. In addition to the comics in the title, we're also talking about Mothra: Queen of Monsters on IDW and Secret Six out on DC.
