Stop by and see Cullen, Mike McKone, and John Tyler Christopher at booth #527.  We take a look at 52 #48, which features the introduction of the new Question! And it looks like Black Adam is having a bad day. As this podcast goes live, there is still time to get in on an eBay auction for a copy of JLA/Avengers to benefit the Hero Initiative. Since Cullen is headed to Chicago, we will encourage you to bid early and bid often.  We have our Pick 3 selections, sponsored by our friends at Clint's Comics in Kansas City.  We would love to hear your comments on the show.

On this week's episode of the Worst. Comic. Podcast. EVER!: We discuss the finale of Ms. Marvel and now our year-long wait begins until The Marvels is released next July.  We look at 52 #46, which finds Black Adam finally attacking the island of mad scientists. Sure did take Adam a long time to get there. Moving kind of slow, don't you think? We discuss a hiring for a movie role, some firings at a publisher, and a comic con explosion that didn't need to happen.  We have our Pick 3 selections, sponsored by our friends at Clint's Comics in Kansas City.  We would love to hear your comments on the show.

On this week's episode of the Worst. Comic. Podcast. EVER!: OK, how many of you made Hammer TIme last weekend to see the new Thor: Love and Thunder movie? Cullen and Jerry did, and we share some spoiler thoughts about the latest Tales of Asgardians.  We discuss Episode 5 of Ms. Marvel, which seems to wrap up the family storyline while barely including Kamala on screen.  We look at 52 #45, which finds Black Adam on a rampage to kill Death. So he kills a lot of other people, stealing a page out of Thanos' Guide to Picking Up Death.  We have our Pick 3 selections, sponsored by our friends at Clint's Comics in Kansas City.  We would love to hear your comments on the show.

On this week's episode of the Worst. Comic. Podcast. EVER!: We have another con coming up three weeks from now. This year, Fountain City Con is growing by leaps and bounds, with four times the floor space and two days of con goodness. To get all of the details for the show, we brought on FCC co-head honcho (and friend-of-the-show!) Barry Poole to talk about the guests, the activities and the opportunities to be had July 30 & 31 in New Century, Kansas.  We discuss episodes 3 & 4 of Ms. Marvel, which featured a wedding reception gone wrong, a trip to Pakistan, and the beginnings of the traditional Ms. Marvel costume.  We look at 52 #44, which finds Black Adam and Isis taking on the Four Horsemen - but who is left standing? And will Renee ever become the Question? We have our Pick 3 selections, sponsored by our friends at Clint's Comics in Kansas City.  We would love to hear your comments on the show.

On this week's episode of the Worst. Comic. Podcast. EVER!: We are back from our respective cons from last weekend. John and Jerry got to host panels again, and Cullen met a lot of all-star creators.  We discuss the final two episodes of Obi-Wan Kenobi season one. What a finish! And it turns out that Darth Vader did kill Anakin Skywalker. We look at 52 #43, focusing on the Black Adam family. Osiris resolves one issue and helps to create a new all-consuming threat.

On this week's episode of the Worst. Comic. Podcast. EVER!: We are trying to get out the door this week to get to our con appearances (Smallville Con and Washington State Summer Con), so this is going to be a short recap. Cullen and John take a look at the solicits for books coming out in August. Make sure to let your local comic store know what to order for you!

On this week's episode of the Worst. Comic. Podcast. EVER!: Ms. Marvel made its debut on Disney+ last week, and we are all in on the adventures of Kamala Khan. We dive into the first episode and make some guesses for the upcoming season.  The fourth episode of Obi-Wan Kenobi reminded us of another Episode IV, as Obi-Wan leads a mission to rescue Princess Leia from an Imperial base. Guess what? Darth Vader was not pleased. We saw the first trailer for Black Adam coming out in October. Is it too soon to ask for a Dr. Fate movie right now? Cullen has a follow-up to our Substack conversation last week, and Jerry has some Humble Bundles to recommend. We look at 52 #41, where we see Renee Montoya take on the Dragon, Ralph gets behind the wheel, and Starfire and Adam Strange make a crash landing on a green planet.  We have our Pick 3 selections, sponsored by our friends at Clint's Comics in Kansas City.  We would love to hear your comments on the show.

On this week's episode of the Worst. Comic. Podcast. EVER!: Obi-Wan Kenobi is already at the halfway point of its season, and it continues to amaze us. Especially the return of Darth Vader. But did any else think it was odd that Vader didn't have an adverse reaction to the fire? Say it isn't so, Joe! Longtime editor Joe Quesada announced this past week that he would be leaving Marvel Comics after more than two decades with the company. We look at Joe's time at Marvel and compare it against other similar creators or editors at Marvel.  Cullen has a follow-up to our Substack conversation last week, and Jerry has some Humble Bundles to recommend. We look at 52 #40, with the showdown we have been waiting to see for half of a year now, Steel vs. Luthor. And when exactly did Steel get a detachable hand? Is anyone still looking to track down a copy of JLA/Avengers? Listen carefully... We have our Pick 3 selections, sponsored by our friends at Clint's Comics in Kansas City.  We would love to hear your comments on

On this week's episode of the Worst. Comic. Podcast. EVER!: Obi-Wan Kenobi debuted on Disney+ over the holiday weekend with the first two episodes of the six-episode season. These episodes had all of the feels! Familiar faces, familiar characters, even familiar voices. Seriously, if you did not like these episodes, we would kindly suggest you take a one-way Bantha ride through the Jundland Wastes to the Dune Sea.  News surfaced this week of the apparent success (so far) of the 3W3M Substack with features Jonathan Hickman, Mike Hiddleston, and Mike del Mundo. Doing well enough that they are bringing in editor Steve Wacker to oversee the line. So we revisit the Substack concept and if this is now showing more viability as an ongoing channel for your entertainment consumption. We look at 52 #39 where we can assure you that despite the claims on the cover, neither the Question nor Renee Montoya appears in this issue. Oh, and now Lex Luthor has powers.  We have our Pick 3 selections, sponsored by our friends at C

On this week's episode of the Worst. Comic. Podcast. EVER!: The Eisner nominations were announced this past week. A lot of great comics and creators have been recognized and, sadly, a lot of great comics and creators were not recognized (How do you leave out Tom Taylor?) We look at 52 #38 with the long final climb up the mountain for the Question. Seriously like 12 pages of going up the mountain.  We got some first trailer looks at She-Hulk, The Boys season 3, and Umbrella Academy season 3.  We have our Pick 3 selections, sponsored by our friends at Clint's Comics in Kansas City.  We would love to hear your comments on the show.

On this week's episode of the Worst. Comic. Podcast. EVER!: We are looking ahead to our summer con appearances coming up in the next few months. Expect to see some of us at the Smallville Con, Washington State Summer Con, and Fountain City Con. But the more important question is if we will see you at these shows? We look at 52 #37 with the surprising return of Booster Gold! The last time we saw him, he was caught in an explosion. Yet here he is, alive and well and fighting Skeets!  We have our Pick 3 selections, sponsored by our friends at Clint's Comics in Kansas City.  We would love to hear your comments on the show.

On this week's episode of the Worst. Comic. Podcast. EVER!: As we recorded this over the weekend, we had just found out about the passing of legendary creator George Pérez. We'll have more to say next week but for now, we say "Thank You" for everything you have done for the comic book industry and for the fans.  We all had the chance to see the new Doctor Strange movie. Seriously, we would pay full price for a ticket just to see those cameos. Getting a Sam Raimi film on top of that was just icing on the cake. Listen in as we share our thoughts on the film. We also finished up Moon Knight over on Disney+, so catch those thoughts as well.  We look at 52 #36, where a member of the Lost in Space trio is lost, and the Question is somehow still alive. We have our Pick 3 selections, sponsored by our friends at Clint's Comics in Kansas City.  We would love to hear your comments on the show. Let us know what you’ve been reading or watching this week.

  On this week's episode of the Worst. Comic. Podcast. EVER!: We say thank you to a true titan of the comic book industry. Neal Adams passed away on April 28. So much of what we know in comics comes back to Adams' drawing table. Like Batman? The Batman you know started with Adams and Denny O'Neil. Like seeing creators get recognition for their characters on the silver screen? That credit goes to Neil. The introduction of Tim Drake as Robin sporting a new costume? That's all Adams. We could spend multiple shows discussing Neil and his legacy in comics. We finally get a chance to wrap up Planet Comicon Kansas City. What a weekend! As always, Kansas City steps up to support the Hero Initiative. We had a blast hanging out at our table with artist Richard Pace. And we are already making plans for Planet Comicon 2023 next March.  We look at 52 #35 with the new year starting out with a bang. As in the bang of bodies falling from the sky. Once again, we find ourselves asking why anyone would ever live in Metropolis.

On this week's episode of the Worst. Comic. Podcast. EVER!: A big thank you to Planet Comicon Kansas City for another spectacular show. Thank you to everyone who stopped by the Hero Initiative table, came to our panel, or stopped us in the aisle for pictures. We had a great time and cannot wait to give you our recap -- next week. It's going to be a quick show this week so we can catch up on some rest and unpacking.  We look at 52 #34 and, with apologies to REM, it's the end of the year as we know it, but the Question does not feel fine.  We have our Pick 3 selections, sponsored by our friends at Clint's Comics in Kansas City.  We would love to hear your comments on the show.

On this week's episode of the Worst. Comic. Podcast. EVER!: As this podcast goes live, we are just hours away from the start of Planet Comicon - a.k.a. the reuniting of Cullen, Jerry, and John in one building! We will be at the Hero Initiative table (#339) all weekend long. Except for 6:00 on Saturday, when we will be hosting the WCPE panel. Be there! Not to bury the real lead here, but guess what we will be raffling off to benefit the Hero Initiative? Just a copy of JLA Avengers!! Seriously!! Again, table #339, we will see you there.  We look at 52 #33, with Alfred Pennyworth directing a children's choir singing "Christmastime is Here." And what do you get a Batwoman for Hanukkah?  We have our Pick 3 selections, sponsored by our friends at Clint's Comics in Kansas City.  We would love to hear your comments on the show.

On this week's episode of the Worst. Comic. Podcast. EVER!: How exciting is this? We got the chance to speak with David Dastmalchian about the return of Count Crowley, this time as the Amateur Midnight Monster Hunter. We spoke to David back in 2019 when the first series was released. And much to our surprise, he is still taking our phone calls. In addition to the Count Crowley talk, we discuss Polka-Dot Man action figures, upcoming film projects, and what it's like to fly with Timothée Chalamet. Jerry got the chance to read a new book, Sort of Super, from friend-of-the-show Eric Gapstur. Listeners, you owe it to yourself to check this book out, especially for the parents in our audience.  We look at 52 #32, where the Teen Titans are holding open auditions to increase their membership. So you have to ask yourself, what's the worst that could happen? Hmm, Osiris, we're looking at you. We have our Pick 3 selections, sponsored by our friends at Clint's Comics in Kansas City.  We would love to hear your comments

On this week's episode of the Worst. Comic. Podcast. EVER!: We know by now that you have watched the first episode of Moon Knight over on Disney+. Heck, you may have already watched the second episode before you give this podcast a listen. So don't spoil anything for us as we share our ramblings on the first episode.  We look at 52 #31, which showcases the return of Captain Comet.

On this week's episode of the Worst. Comic. Podcast. EVER!: Prompted by a New York Times article about the musician Questlove and his collections, we discuss our own collections - the love we have for them, the work we put into them, and how much we actually spent vs what we have told our families.  Did you see the trailer for Ms. Marvel coming in June to Disney+? Totally adorbs! We break down what we saw or didn't see in the trailer, and some of the hidden Easter eggs to be found. We look at 52 #30, with the return of Bruce Wayne. And we finally get the meeting we have been dying to see between Batwoman and Nightwing. One of those characters is going to be in for a rude surprise.  We have our Pick 3 selections, sponsored by our friends at Clint's Comics in Kansas City.  We would love to hear your comments on the show.

On this week's episode of the Worst. Comic. Podcast. EVER!: Well, what seemed like a light topic week turned into a pretty long discussion this week. So wherever you are when you listen to this show, make yourself comfortable. Lots of comic talk this episode. We look at the May solicits from Marvel and DC. If we mention any books that sound interesting, make sure to let you LCS know this week to order you a copy.  Jerry got some comics this week, with a box of books from DCBS plus a trip down to Clint's Comics. He does a run-through of the pile and notes an interesting change in direction from Marvel Comics.  Writer Tony Isabella posted on Facebook this week what he is asking from cons that invite him to a show. We run down the list and offer our thoughts. All in all, we think everything is very reasonable. Well, except for the rider about no blue M&Ms in the green room.  Did you watch the preview for Obi-Wan Kenobi premiering in two months? If we weren't already subscribing to Disney+, we would be sign
