Boba's back, baby! 

Honorable Mention Highlights: March 11, 2020​
  • Star Wars: Bounty Hunters #1 (W: Ethan Sacks; A: Paolo Villanelli)
  • Marvel's Snapshots: Sub-Mariner #1 (W: Alan Brennert, Kurt Busiek; A: Jerry Ordway)
  • Cable #1 (W: Gerry Duggan; A: Phil Noto)

Star Wars: Bounty Hunters #1
It's nice to see some solid, in-canon storytelling involving dat boi Boba Fett. This book feels like a Star Wars Tarantino flick and I'm all in.

Marvel's Snapshots: Sub-Mariner #1

Part of what made this really cool was the fact that it takes place right after WWII, and definitely stays true to that time period with the look, feel, and behavior of everyone featured. BUT it addresses very modern topics., like PTSD, relationships, trauma, the female experience - all in an old-fashioned style book. Such a cool dichotomy and one I'd love to see brought into more than a one-shot.

Cable #1
Honestly, the best parts of this story are the ideas opened up around Cable and less Cable himself. Honestly, young Cable is a bit bland for me. He's a bit too much like literally EVERY other young male hits-on-chicks-and-takes-nothing-seriously character marvel cranks out to appeal to, idk, that crowd I guess. There is some interesting stuff in this book and YOUNG Cable is by far the least of it.

If you need a good cry, Lex, no one's going to mind. 

Honorable Mention Highlights: March 4, 2020​
  • Strange Academy #1 (W: Skottie Young; A: Humberto Ramos)
  • Superman: Villains #1 (W: Brian Michael Bendis, Matt Fraction, Jody Houser; A: Steve Lieber, Cully Hamner, Jim Mahfood, Michael Gaydos, Riley Rossmo, Scott Godlewski) 
  • King of Nowhere #1 (W: W. Maxwell Prince; A/CA: Tyler Jenkins)
  • Dryad #1 (W: Kurtis J. Wiebe; A: Justin Osterling)
  • Marvel #1 (W: Alex Ross, Kurt Busiek; A: Steve Rude, Frank Espinosa)
  • Man-Eaters Tomorrow Belongs to You #1 (W: Chelsea Cain; A/CA: Lia Miternique)

Strange Academy #1
I was expecting just another cutesy YA read, but Skottie Young knows how to put the strange in Strange Academy. Between the perfect depiction of adolescent teen male Asgardians and Dr. Strange's ridiculous pep talk, I'm feeling pretty good about this read.

Superman: Villians #1

Can every book have a section where Lex Luthor goes full 'Office Space' on a business appliance after being ridiculed, harassed and laughed at repeatedly? Because.. I really enjoyed that.

King of Nowhere #1

This book is off to a really fun start, even if it's absolutely bizarre and feels more like a fever dream than a comic. Tyler Jenkins' art is stellar and does an excellent job blurring the line between reality and a bad hallucination. It's a weird trip without the bad side effects - I'm here for it.

Dryad #1

I'm a sucker for a good fantasy book, and this one has left me with a TON of questions. Where'd they come from? Why did they go? (Where did they come from, Cotton Eye'd Joe) What the Sam Heck is going on with this lore? They did an awesome job of laying out the plot without really telling you anything, so I look forward to #2.

Marvel #1

The highlight of this book for me was an actual REALISTIC depiction and conversation of the relationship between Peter & MJ. Heaven forbid, superheroes have to think about finances and rent and how much they spend on web fluid (talk about great responsibility...). They really are just like us!

Man-Eaters: Tomorrow Belongs to You #1

It's less of a comic, and more of an avant garde art piece mocking misogyny. Beautifully laid it, it points to not only how awful Estro- treated women, but how utterly ridiculous the reparations are. A fitting window into some of the ridiculous stuff we put up with every day as ladies. ( - Tee)

Episode 65.1 - KEY ISSUES - The Cosmic Rumor Mill

Believe it or not, not everything on the internet is true.

[Post-recording update included!]

The internet is a huge web of information (world wide web... I get it now!), but that doesn't mean it's all true. The recent speculation about the departure of Dan DiDio, AT&T and the future of DC Comics is just that - speculation. We know it can be hard to sift through what's real and what's rumor (especially with some nefarious characters stirring the pot), so we thought we'd break down this recent news story and help guide you through what's confirmed, what's conjecture, and what's straight up malarkey. ​
