Worst. Comic. Podcast. Ever!

On this week's episode of the Worst. Comic. Podcast. EVER!, we sit down with writer Joshua Dysart to talk about his new book, Goodnight Paradise, from TKO Studios. Goodnight Paradise is a traditional murder-mystery set within the homeless community of southern California. From the book: "When down-and-out Eddie stumbles upon the body of a murdered teenage runaway, he vows to bring her killers to justice. His investigation brings him into the darkest truths of his beachside town, where he finds he may be the only one who cares enough to solve this murder." In our discussion with Joshua, we find out that this story has been years in the making. We get the insights into what brought this all together now. We learn how artist Alberto Ponticelli and colorist Giulia Brusco brought their incredible talents to this project. Now, if you are wanting to check this out, go to the TKO Studios site to pick up this story however you want to read it. You can get it as a trade paperback, as six individual issues, or as a PDF

On this week's episode of the Worst. Comic. Podcast. EVER!: Jerry took the kids to see Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse last weekend, and a good time was had by all. You need to see this movie. Whatever your Spider-Man is in life, expect to find it in this movie! John and Jerry got to see an early screening of Aquaman, which hits theaters today. How does this fit into the DC Universe of films. What works, what doesn't, and why was Willem Dafoe in this movie?

On this week's episode of the Worst. Comic. Podcast. EVER!, winter has arrived in the Midwest! Dealing with the snow and ice and cold has the guys thinking about their favorite characters and stories involving snow and ice and cold. Sadly, we made no mention of the Blue Snowman. Please accept our sincere apologies. Wait, you do know who the Blue Snowman is, right? The Golden Age Wonder Woman villainess who used a ray gun to create blue snow. Right now, some of you truly believe that we are making this up. Nope, she's a real character, and we didn't have time to talk about her. So tune in and find out which characters and stories we did bring up in discussion. We also have our weekly Pick 3, sponsored by Clint's Comics. Two of us even kept up our cold weather theme with our picks. Tune in to find out what we chose and why you should pick it up next Wednesday. We would love to hear your comments on the show.

So how was your Thanksgiving? Hopefully you got plenty of turkey -- of tofurkey or Thai food, whatever floats your boat - in you yesterday, and now you are ready to go spend you money in a Black Friday spending frenzy. Well, be sure to bring along the Worst. Comic. Podcast. EVER! while you wait in the check-out line.  So we offer up some suggestions for items you might pick up today, be it for yourself or the special comic-loving nerd in your life. Obviously, we're going to encourage you to hit up your local comic shop first, because they have all kinds of unique items that won't be like the other copycat gifts to be found at a box store. We also suggest reaching out to artists and consider adding some original art into your collection.  As usual, we have our weekly Pick 3 selections for books coming out next Wednesday, November 28. Cullen and Jerry do their best to guess John's pick this week. We offer up a lot of close choices before we finally correctly get his pick. We also offer up a special treat this w

Face front, True Believers! The flags of the comic book community are at half-mast this week as we mourn the loss of Stan Lee at the age of 95. As the writer, editor, architect, and salesman of the Marvel Universe, Lee oversaw a revolution in the comic book industry, transforming Marvel from a publisher on the verge of folding into the industry juggernaut. During his time, he helped to create Spider-Man, the Fantastic Four, the X-Men, the Hulk, Thor, Iron Man, Doctor Strange, Daredevil, She-Hulk and so many more. During our discussion, we lost our connection with John, but Cullen and Jerry continued the conversation about Lee and his impact on comics. Before we lost John, we did get his selection for Pick 3, for new books coming out next Wednesday, November 21. Be sure to get there and stock up on comics before the long holiday weekend. We speak from experience, so trust the WCPE guys and buy these books! We would love to hear your comments on the show. Let us know what you've been reading or watching this we

Welcome to Marvel Saga, a mostly monthly podcast from the creative minds behind Comic Reflections and the Worst. Comic. Podcast. EVER! Comic Reflections, hosted by Nicholas Prom, looks at comics from the Silver and Bronze Ages. The Worst. Comic. Podcast. EVER!, co-hosted by Jerry McMullen, is a weekly show looking at comics, movies, and TV shows with reviews, previews, and interviews. In this episode, two future Avengers get off to troubled starts, Spider-Man finds a Scorpion in his boots, Doctor Doom uses a bendy straw, and we go over the life and times of the Ringmaster. 

On this week's episode of the Worst. Comic. Podcast. EVER!, we take a look at the new comics coming out in January 2019. Yes, 2019! It's coming up quicker than you realize. Sure, we have Veteran's Day and Thanksgiving and all of the December holidays to get through before January rolls around. That's why you need to start planning now for what you will be picking up in two months.  We also have our Pick 3 choices for new books coming out next Wednesday, November 14. Cullen and John decided to make a guessing game for Jerry's pick. With knowing him for well over 30 years, you would think they would get the pick correct right away. Keep thinking that.... We wrap things up with some TV talk, as John finished up season 3 of Daredevil, plus keeping up with Titans.  We would love to hear your comments on the show.

As much as we love interviewing creators and reviewing books, I think the guys of the Worst. Comic. Podcast. EVER! enjoy just talking about our favorite characters. And since Halloween was earlier this week, that got us in the mood to talk about our favorite magicians, monsters and mysterious beings. Expect lots of Doctors (Strange, Fate, Doom) and Witches (Scarlet, Sabrina) and many more as we ramble across the comic book universes. On the off chance that we overlooked your favorite character, message us and let us know who we missed in our conversation. In addition, we have our Pick 3 selections, sponsored by the good people of Clint's Comics. For the first week of November, we have three #1 issues. Any guesses as to what we each picked? 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.

For this week, that answer is six or seven. But that should come as no surprise to the loyal listeners of the Worst. Comic. Podcast. EVER! See, we were down one co-host, as John was on the DL with a bum leg. You may not realize it, but leg injuries severely diminish a podcaster's ability to talk about comics. Jerry was on the DL for a month with his knee surgery last year, so it's a real thing. Never fear though, John is getting back to normal and should make a triumphant return next week. Then, Cullen and Jerry got a late start with recording. As you may have noticed with past episodes, the later we start, the loopier we get. It took multiple takes for us to get one that lives up to the high expectations for a WCPE episode. But once we got rolling, we like to think that we put together a really good episode. Really good! Seriously, this has to be one of the top.... oh, I don't know... let's just say it's in the top 228 for best episodes ever by the Worst. Comic. Podcast. EVER! We do a deep dive into the Wal

In honor of the 227th episode of the Worst. Comic. Podcast. EVER!, we spotlight the legendary career of actress Marla Gibbs, star of the 1980s TV comedy 227. From IMDb, "Armed with an acid dry wit and a full arsenal of sarcasm and sass, African-American character comedienne Marla Gibbs showed up on 70s TV with a bang in middle age (44). Landing the feisty maid role on the popular ground-breaking CBS comedy, The Jeffersons (1975), eventually led to her very own sitcom, 227 (1985), a decade later and international celebrity. A divorced mother with three children (Angela Elayne Gibbs, Dorian, Joseph) at the time of her initial success, it was a job transfer from Detroit to Los Angeles, while working as a United Airlines reservation clerk, that set up this more-than-welcome surprise and change of destiny." In addition to our career retrospective of Marla Gibbs, we take time to discuss: The first episode of Titans has hit the DC Universe streaming service. We have all watched the first episode, and are ready to s

On this week's episode of the Worst. Comic. Podcast. EVER!: We dive into the new Aquaman trailer. We wonder about the Wonder Comics announcement. We shoot through the news about James Gunn taking aim at the next Suicide Squad movie.

On this week's episode of the Worst. Comic. Podcast. EVER!, we bring you: Stories from our trip to Cave Con in Springfield, MO. We saw a lot of friends, both at tables and roaming the aisles. We bought a lot of comics, and saw some incredible original art. And we once again crossed paths with Ming Chen, who just loves our WCPE in Kansas City logo.  We have read Heroes in Crisis #1 from DC Comics. There is a lot going on in this first issue, so we try to work through what we read, what we saw, and where we think things may be going.  Cullen has an interview with writer Sam Humphries and artist Jen Bartel, the creators on the new Image series Blackbird, which hit comic book shops this past week. Trust us, you should go back and buy this issue. NOW! Well, wait, finish this podcast first, then go buy Blackbird NOW!  Speaking of comic book shops, we have our weekly picks for new books coming out next week.  John took advantage of his new DC Universe account to watch the first TV episode of Wonder Woman from 1975.

Another Friday means another episode of the Worst. Comic. Podcast. EVER! - the longest-running lowest-rated show in our market. It really means a lot to the guys to have YOU coming back each week, so thank you! Unfortunately, we start out our show on a somber note, as we learned of the passing of artist Norm Breyfogle shortly before recording. Breyfogle was the premiere Batman artist throughout the late 1980s and early 1990s. His distinct look of the Dark Knight is remembered fondly by his fans, which included us. His death reminds us to once again promote the Hero Initiative, which helped provide Breyfogle some assistance over the last two years.  As always, we have our weekly Pick 3 for books coming out next Wednesday. We also go over some recent purchases and reads from our comic stacks.  Finally, we dive into the ugly topic of #Comicsgate. Maybe you are aware, or maybe you are just finding out about this for the first time. We welcome your feedback on our discussion. If you are in the Springfield, Missour

Well, everything except for Batman's not-so-little Grayson. On this week's show, we have watched the Captain Marvel trailer multiple times this week. LOVE IT! March cannot come quick enough to give us the big screen adventures of Carol Danvers, with some help from her much younger friends, Nick Fury and Phil Coulson. And if by chance you haven't seen the trailer yet, we're going to assume you have been in a medically-induced coma for the last week. Get well soon! Next up is our Pick 3 choices for next week, all of which you can find at your local comic shops nationwide. John's selection is in Crisis, Jerry's pick is a Strange Thing, and Cullen's pick... well, Cullen's pick is certainly an interesting choice. Tune in to find out more.

However, you know that we can't stop at just one each! For good measure, we throw in some more picks to be looking for when you visit your LCS on NCBD. We wrap things up with a look at the DC Comics that are available at your local Wal-Mart.
