WORST. COMIC. PODCAST. EVER!

The guys from the Worst. Comic. Podcast. EVER! are back in action! We're going to snap our fingers, kick names and talk Avengers: Infinity War, the runaway box office success that is breaking record after record. We are going to SPOIL the heck out of this movie. So if you haven't seen this yet - Brent Kincade, looking at you! - do not listen to this show until you have seen the movie! We break down the character journeys, the motivations for the characters, why Thanos might not be a villain, who might come back and who might be gone for good, and so much more. We give our insights into what made this movie work, and even how it could have been better. (Heads up in case things sound a little strange towards the end of this episode! We recorded this Wednesday night, which saw some powerful storms roll through the Kansas City area. Due to a tornado warning with the sirens blaring, we were joined in the WCPE studios by the entire Holloway family and pets. Live podcasting, ain't nothing like it!) In addition to all things Avengers, we have our Pick 3 selections, which will all be available next Wednesday at your local comic books store. Speaking of comic book stores, Jerry will be at Clint's Comics in Kansas City tomorrow for FREE COMIC BOOK DAY!

OK, the Gauntlet has been thrown! With the release of Avengers: Infinity War in theaters this weekend, the guys at the Worst. Comic. Podcast. EVER! thought it would be appropriate to dive into the back issue boxes and re-read the classic mini-series from 1991, The Infinity Gauntlet. So much of what happens in the new Avengers movie gets its start with this story, so this is the perfect time to revisit one of Jim Starlin's epic tales, with a fine assist on art by the likes of George Perez and Ron Lim. In addition, we have our weekly Pick 3 for next week, sponsored by our good friends at Clint's Comics. It should come as no surprise that John picked a Superman book and Jerry picked the new Avengers book. But you never quite know what Cullen is going to pick. Listen in and find out! Speaking of picks, we also have drawn a name for the Action Comics #1000, signed by Brian Michael Bendis. Thank you to everyone that sent in their entry and their Superman story.

Over the years, comics have seen a lot of change. Characters die, and new characters are created. Heroes become villains, and vice versa. Titles are renumbered, rebooted, and sometimes replaced. But there has been one constant for 80 years. Action Comics, which celebrates the publication of it's 1000th issue this week! This is not your normal monthly release. This is Action Comics #1000! It doesn't get any bigger than this for Superman, DC Comics or comic fandom. With multiple stories from all-star creators, packaged with incredible covers representing all the different eras of the Man of Steel, this issue is a true reason to celebrate. And we did celebrate! In Kansas City, Jerry joined the super fans at a midnight opening at Clint's Comics. With an entire rack of the main book along with all of the variants, the books were flying off of the shelves left and right. A big thank you to Sharon, Keith, Jennifer and Eric for letting the KC comic community start their Superman celebration as soon as possible. In Oregon, Cullen helped host a Superman party at The Nerd Out, Portland's premier restaurant sure to appeal to all comic book fans. With trivia contests, prizes and even a Superman cake, Cullen helped lead the party as fans got ready for the midnight opening at Cosmic Monkey. At the store, Cullen helped fans find the book they were looking for, including some books that were autographed by soon-to-be-Superman-writer Brian Michael Bendis. Now, one of those Bendis-signed books came home with Cullen, but it's not going to stop there! We are going to pass that along to one of our listeners! Intrigued? All you have to do is share your Superman story with us! Let us know what part of the Superman mythos is most important to you. Is it the comics, the movies, the TV shows, or something else. Send your entry to worstcomicpodcastever @ gmail dot com by Wednesday, April 25, at 5 PM CT to be entered. We will go through the responses and pick at random one of the submissions to win this autographed book. Now, before you think this week's show is all Superman, listen up! We had so much fun last week talking about issue #200s, we're going to spend some time this week talking about a #201 issue. Specifically, Uncanny X-Men #201, where control of the X-Men is decided between a Danger Room fight between Cyclops and Storm. We also have our picks for next week for books you should be looking forward to picking up and reading. As a warning, Cullen has a Beef with this week's picks.

... And there came a day, a day unlike any other, when Earth's Worst. Comic. Podcast. EVER! found themselves united together for an anniversary episode. On that day, WCPE invited friends and family to join us in the virtual studio—to talk about comics that featured the number 200! Through the years, their podcast has prospered, getting better from time to time, but their passion for comic books has never been denied! Heed the call, then—for now, it's the WCPE 200th Episode! For our 200th episode, we put out an open call to have listeners join in on our conversation via the wonders of the Google machines. We honestly had no idea if this would work or not, but gosh darn it, it was amazing! We had so many friends join in on the conversation! A big thank you to EVERYONE who stopped by to join in on the fun! Expect lots of hugs from us the next time we see you! We took some time to review our favorite 200th issues (Justice League of America, The Brave and the Bold) to some not very good issues (Avengers, we're talking about you). And even publishers like Archie Comics, which appears to have published 200 different 200th issues with all of their various titles. We also look ahead to next week, when Action Comics #1000 hits the spinner racks! We make our picks for our favorite variant covers for this landmark issue. Those picks are sponsored by our friends at Clint's Comics in Kansas City. If you haven't been down to the store recently, you are missing out on so much nerdy goodness.

Who's ready for some comic talk? Then sit back and enjoy the conversation as the Worst. Comic. Podcast. EVER! takes a look at two recent books from Marvel, featuring two very strong yet very different women. First up is Jessica Jones #18, as writer Brian Michael Bendis (along with artist Michael Gaydos) says so long to one of his greatest contributions to the Marvel Universe. This is a touching one-and-done story that is worth every penny, as the books is filled with words and art and story and emotions. We follow that up with Mighty Thor #705, which is the penultimate chapter in what appears to be the final story of Jane Foster. Dying of cancer, Jane knows that one more transformation between Thor and her human self will kill her. But the universe needs saving, and there is only one way out. Find out the details in this epic tale from Jason Aaron and Russell Dauterman. Now, if we just gave you the comic talk, most of you would be satisfied. But wait, there's more. We've watched the first two episodes of Krypton on SyFy, and share our thoughts. Favorite characters, intriguing twists, and what is bothering us the most about this new series.

Cue the John Williams fanfare, because things are about to get SUPER in the Worst. Comic. Podcast. EVER! studios this week. With the debut of the new Krypton series on SyFy this week, it gives the guys a good chance to review some of our favorite Superman stories. Did your favorites make our list? Listen in and find out!

Five weeks at number 1, and we don't think that Pacific Rim Uprising is going to slow it down any. With the upcoming releases of Avengers Infinity War, Deadpool 2, and Ant-Man and the Wasp, there will be a lot of weeks with the Marvel logo sitting in the top spot in Hollywood. Of course, we will be making our three picks for next week, which is sponsored by our good friends at Clint's Comics.

On this week's episode of the Worst. Comic. Podcast. EVER!, soon to be known as Cullen, Jerry, and John are Getting Old, we have for you: Cullen's interview with writer Christopher Sebela. Chris announced a few new projects at the Image Expo last month, so Cullen sat down with the Portland writer for a quick one-on-one. Be on the lookout this June for Shanghai Red, telling the brutal trip of a woman from Shanghai to Portland in the nineteenth century, and the revenge she dishes out along the way. Jerry and John give their take on The Terrifics #1 from DC Comics. Now don't go confusing this title with the Fantastic Four or even The Incredibles. This is a great debut issue, and we are excited to see where this title heads in the issues ahead. John had a chance to read The New Mutants: Dead Souls #1 from Marvel Comics. With the upcoming New Mutants movie hitting theaters later this year, it's only natural for Marvel to get some new product on the shelves ahead of time. John gives us his take on this new line-up of some familiar characters. We give you our Three Picks for next week - Marvel has a hulking new Weapon, Batman has a bad case of Poison Ivy, and we say goodbye to the Goddess of Thunder.

Hey everybody! It's time for yet another episode of the award-winning* Worst. Comic. Podcast. EVER! This week, we our our own fresh takes on Marvel's Fresh Start books coming out beginning in May. Some books are in the must-read list, while others are in the wait until the library gets the collected edition category. We make our picks for next week, which is sponsored by the good people of Clint's Comics. Do yourself a favor and get down to this store now! We also throw in an extra three picks of books that we find intriguing enough to flip through when we are at the store next week. Finally, we get into a nerdy debate over a hypothetical JLAvengers 2 crossover. If the two powerhouse teams of DC and Marvel were to meet again, who would you like to see on the creative team. Obviously, the bar has been set high by Kurt Busiek and George Perez, so who could step into those shoes and carry the concept forward? We have our choices. We could tell you here, but we really want you to listen to the podcast. Here's a tease though -- Cullen did not pick anyone that was dead! (Callback to Episode 33!) * You may be asking what award did these guys win. That's a very good question, for which we don't have an answer yet. We ask ourselves each week why we haven't won an award. Or at least a podcast participation trophy. Seriously, 195 episodes in and still nothing in the trophy cabinet. Get to work, loyal listeners!

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 issue, the X-Men meet their arch-enemy, Ant-Man has a giant problem to deal with, the Hulk makes a quick exit from the Avengers, Peter Parker makes a move on Betty Brant, Iron Man gets fitted for a new suit, and the Fantastic Four fight a Nazi.

Sooooo, seen any good movies lately? We are here to sing the praises of Black Panther! This is the new standard for all comic-book movies - a beautiful, well-acted film which left the audience thinking and talking and going back to see it again and again. By our humble estimation, the only thing that could have made this movie better was finding a way to include Nicholas Cage into this soon-to-be masterpiece. But before we can talk about the movie, we have some con recaps to share with you. We have finally rested up after the epic 2018 Planet Comicon, and have all kinds of stories to share with you. The panels, our friends, and most importantly our work for the Hero Initiative. If you haven't seen our Facebook post, we did some incredible things for this worthwhile cause, so thank you Kansas City! In addition, Cullen attended the Image Comics Expo in Portland last week, followed by the Hillsboro Library Comicfest. At the Image Expo, Cullen played the part of mild-mannered reporter for an upstart podcast, giving him the chance to talk to some of the comic creators promoting new projects coming out at Image in 2018. First up this week will be writer Robert Kirkman, whose new title Oblivion hits comic book stores next Wednesday. We would love to hear your comments on the show.

Happy Comicon Eve, Kansas City! We are a day early this week, so consider yourself the lucky winner! We've got a lot to do ahead of the start of the show tomorrow, so we are going to get things going with the podcast today! Before we can get into Planet Comicon, we've got to wrap things up with Cullen's recap of I Like Comic Con last weekend in Vancouver, WA. Raising money for the Hero Initiative, hanging out with the likes of Jim Steranko and Neal Adams, and seeing familiar friends - it doesn't get much better than that! Of course, the next party starts tomorrow at Bartle Hall in Kansas City. You can find the WCPE guys manning the Hero Initiative table at #1030. Next to us will be comic creator Ty Templeton at #1032. He will be signing books, sketching characters and telling stories all weekend long. Please stop by our tables to say, receive hugs, and help us raise some money for an awesome cause. Now, hopefully everyone has 1:00 Sunday afternoon blocked out on your calendars to attend the Worst. Comic. Podcast. EVER! panel. Another live recording of a podcast. We'll play a game, answer questions, and give away some prizes. We want to fill the room, so help us out. We still have some time to fill this week, so we dive into the ComicsGate controversy.

If you've read any comic books over the last 30 years, odds are you have read a Ron Randall issue or two along the way. From Conqueror of the Barren Earth to Justice League International to Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire and most recently Future Quest, Ron's pencils and stories have covered every possible genre there is. But the one book he is most associated with is his own creation, Trekker, which is the ongoing adventures of bounty hunter Mercy St. Clair. Since the late 1980s, Ron has been telling Mercy's story at Dark Horse Comics. Ron has a new set of Trekker stories to get out, and he has a Kickstarter launching on February 20 to make that happen. The work is done; the Kickstarter is to cover the publishing costs, so you will see the finished product if you support this initiative. Check back in here in two weeks, and we will have a link to the Kickstarter. In the meantime, check out Ron Randall's website to see all of the different projects he's worked on, and where you can sample Trekker before you buy it. And you will buy it, trust us! In addition, if you are in the Portland area this weekend, you will find Ron set up at I Like Comic Con. Not only will Ron be set up there in a jam-packed artist alley, but you will also find Cullen there representing the Hero Initiative. We would love to hear your comments on the show.

By the time you read this, we will be just two weeks away from the start of the 2018 Planet Comicon. We are so ready for this to get started. Our bags are packed, books to be autographed have been pulled out, and bail money has been set aside. Bring on the party at the pillar! To get us fully prepared for all things Planet Comicon, we have brought in owner Chris Jackson to give us the full scoop on everything going on with the show, which runs February 16-18 at Bartle Hall.

We love comics and we love creators who take their visions and dreams and bring them to life outside of the traditional publishing processes. This week we interviewed Adam Watson to talk about his project, Ghost Assassin, and the ongoing Kickstarter campaign. Ghost Assassin is the tale of a hitman-for-hire who has the ability to see and interact with ghosts. Unfortunately for David the ghosts are the people he's murdered. Adam's journey to bring this book to life has taken some wild turns and his marketing and distribution channel plan is just what the comic industry is needing right now. (hint: What are you reading at the tattoo shop while you get inked?) The art for this project is handled by Joel Cotejar and Charles Carvalho with coloring by Edward Bola and Gulliver Silva. The cover for issue #1 is penciled by Joel Cotejar with coloring by Ceci De La Cruz. Adam will be at I Like Comicon February 10 - 11 with merch and information about the project and the Kickstarter campaign runs through February 21st.

It's good to be Cullen in February. See, he gets a three week run that month of attending a con each weekend. First up is I Like Comic Con which will be in Vancouver, WA, on February 10 & 11. For it being a first-year show, the guest list reads like a Who's Who of comic royalty. Jim Steranko, Neal Adams, Gail Simone, Ron Randall, Howard Chaykin, James O'Barr and the list keeps going.

No time for niceties this week. We've got a lot to cover on today's episode of the Worst. Comic. Podcast. EVER! So enough with the jibber jabber, let's write about what you are going to hear us talk about. John starts out with quick recaps from this week's episodes of Supergirl and The Flash. Bu we really want to talk about the awesomeness that is the CW's new super-hero hit, Black Lightning. You won't get any "Jive Turkeys" out of us, as we were all impressed with the quality and direction for the show. Let's hope this finds a regular spot in the already crowded CW line-up. We make our picks for next week's books - Marvel 2-in-One #2, Scooby-Doo Team-Up #34 and Abbott #1 make our list. But can you guess which podcaster chose which book? Next up we discuss the 2017 year-end numbers from Diamond. What were the best selling comic books and collected editions from the last year? Who was the top publisher of the year in terms of market share? We like to believe that we made some interesting observations along the way. Check out the lists below and let us know what you think. Single Issues Graphic Novels Publisher Market Share We also take some time to discuss the new Sanctuary project at DC Comics from writer Tom King, a look ahead to the 2018 Eisner Hall of Fame nominees, and listener feedback.

Another week and another podcast from the guys at the Worst. Comic. Podcast. EVER!

The accusations against Stan Lee, and what fanboys should do or not do in this situation. Our three picks for next week's releases, brought to you by the fine folks at Clint's Comics.

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.

The calendar may now read 2018 but we are not done talking about 2017. With that year FINALLY over, we look for the best of the best - the best single issue, the best ongoing series, the best TV series and the best movie! We all make our picks, but we want to hear from you. Do you agree or disagree with your picks? What did we overlook? Share your thoughts with us in the comments. We also start looking ahead to a pair of cons we will have a presence at next month. First up is the I Like Comic Con in Vancouver, WA, on February 10 and 11. Cullen will be representing the Hero Initiative and WCPE, so stop by and see him if you are in the area. There are a lot of incredible guests attending the show, and you do not want to miss this. The following week, we will once again be volunteering for the Hero Initiative at Planet Comicon in Kansas City, MO. We will be hosting multiple panels throughout the weekend, including our own WCPE panel on Sunday afternoon at 3 PM. In addition, we will have comic creator Ty Templeton as a special guest at the Hero Initiative booth. He will be signing books, doing sketches, sharing stories and helping to raise funds for a worthy cause. You do not want to miss out on meeting Ty. We go over some other topics, from pumping gas in Oregon to The Inhumans to Brian Michael Bendis' plans for Superman. Seriously, what are you waiting for? Stop reading and start listening.

So, still want a glass of fresh blue milk? The guys are back in the recording studios to discuss Star Wars: The Last Jedi. What did we like, what didn't we like, and what has us shaking our heads still trying to make sense of after viewing the latest addition to the Skywalker story. While this should go without saying, we will say it here and now: We are going to spoil everything we can. So if you happen to be one of the seven people who still have not seen this movie, go see it and then come back to listen to our review. We would love to hear your comments on the show.

It's a Hollywood-focused episode from the Worst. Comic. Podcast. EVER! this week. Not to fear, we do get some comic talk in throughout the show. Now, we record on Wednesday nights, so at the time of this recording, the Disney acquisition of Fox was still just a speculation. Since then, the deal has gone through and we can soon hope to see an Avengers vs. X-Men sometime during Phase 4 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Anyway, we offer our somewhat-dated thoughts as to what this might mean for the Marvel film franchise. Then we turn our attention over to DC, and the reported shake-up in their film brain trust due to the un-Avengers like performance of Justice League. Next, we do a rundown of some possible gift ideas for the comic-loving geek in your life. Especially if you are that comic-loving geek. It's OK to pick up something for yourself. Or pick up something for your favorite podcasters. Finally, we offer up our expectations for Star Wars: The Last Jedi, which has already earned a gajillion dollars since it's release last night. Look for our review of the movie in the upcoming weeks. We may need to see this multiple times to prepare for the review. These tickets are a business expense, right guys?

Welcome back to the Worst. Comic. Podcast. EVER! The longest-running, lowest-rated podcast in our market. On our show this week, we dive into Batman Annual #2 from Tom King, Lee Weeks, and Michael Lark. I think this one all touched us in a special way - but not in a Congressional way. Seriously though, this is a spectacular issue with tremendous art to compliment a comic book love story. Sticking with DC, we discuss the recent promotions for the New Age of DC Comics, a line of books launching in early 2018. What intrigues us is the artistic talent being listed first in the credits ahead of the writers. The guys go over some recent reads, and we take a quick look back at Milestone Comics, which was recently featured on AMC's Secret History of Comics. We also look ahead to the 2018 Planet Comicon, with a guest list that has us very excited to be comic book fans. We would love to hear your comments on the show.

And The Wonder Twins: ZAN and JAYNA, with their space monkey, GLEEK! (how about FLASH! CYBORG!) Dedicated to truth, justice, and peace for all mankind! We are back in the studios after the Thanksgiving break to talk all things Justice League! We've all seen the movie and we are here to share our opinions. As always, the ultimate judge of anything is you yourself. Go see this movie before forming your own opinion. And yes, we spoil the heck out this movie, so no complaining if we spoil something along the way.

Coming to you live... well, nearly live. This is a recording. We were alive and well when we recorded this, and we hope you are alive and well when you are listening to this... Anyway, welcome to the Worst. Comic. Podcast. EVER! panel from the 2017 Kansas City Comic Con. As you may have heard, Cullen was not able to attend in person. But thanks to the wonders that are the Google machines, we were able to have Cullen join us in all of his oversized glory on the projection screens in the panel room. So you still get all three of us for the price of ... nothing! This podcast is still free to each and every one of you, our loyal listeners. On the panel, we play a Password game with the audience, we take questions from that same audience and give away prizes, and we do our best to give away a FREE comic book file cabinet. Big thank you to the KCCC crew for giving us the floor space and the panel opportunities. We had a great time on the show floor and hosting multiple panels throughout the weekend.

So how was your weekend? Because ours was pretty incredible! John got hugs from Doug Jones, Jerry chatted it up with a not-so-silent Silent Bob, and Cullen found a motherlode of Who's Who issues in a Portland dollar box. In this episode, we chat up all things Kansas City Comic Con and Frankenstein's Comic Swap. We go over our panels, including the incredible WCPE panel which can be found in our podcast feed next week. We talk about the friends we saw throughout the weekend, and the new friends we met along the way. John did do some work along the way, getting out the recorder to talk to Doug Jones, one of the stars of Star Trek: Discovery. Despite some technical glitches, the guys made it work for a quick interview with a truly wonderful person. John presents the guys with a Marvel panel quiz, and Jerry receives an early birthday present from the guys. All in all, it's a pretty darn good show, if we do say so ourselves.

This is an old-school comic swap of the finest kind. Cullen will be there with many of our new friends talking comics and more. But before the con action starts, let's get some more comic talk in. Some of us saw Thor: Ragnarok over the weekend and really enjoyed it. That got us thinking about our favorite stories and runs involving Thor and the Hulk. We run down our picks, but we would love to hear yours as well. Finally, the comic book world was shaken with the announcement this week that long-time Marvel writer Brian Michael Bendis had signed an exclusive contract with DC Comics.

We are talking a bunch of Batman this week, with our favorite writers, artists, and stories from the last 75 years.

Over the last couple of weeks, the guys of the Worst. Comic. Podcast. EVER! have been busy reading comics and watching the fall TV shows. But we haven't talked much about the upcoming movies. So today's episode has the guys looking at the slew of recent trailers for comic-book related films coming out in the next six months. All of these trailers are easily found on your Google machines, so go give them a look if you haven't seen them yet! Thor: Ragnarok Justice League Star Wars: The Last Jedi Black Panther The New Mutants But before we can get to the theaters, we have a con this weekend! Freestate Comicon is this Saturday, October 21, at the Douglas County Fairgrounds in Lawrence, KS. The show runs from 10 AM to 5 PM, and you will find John and Jerry either at their own table at the show, or looking through a 50 cent box of treasured comics that are hoping to go home with us. We also introduce a new feature on the show this week, where we look ahead to next week and spotlight three books that we think you should consider picking up. Now, you may be asking yourself, "Did these guys develop mutant powers that allow them to see into the future?" While we would like to say YES, the real answer is we have subscribed to Clint's Comics weekly mailing list of the upcoming comics for the following week. You can subscribe too!

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 issue, Spider-Man sees a doctor about the bird flu, Ant-Man gets a partner with a sting, the Angel gets his wings, and the Fantastic Four travel to the moon to meet the Watchman.

It is so much fun to be able to bring one of our favorite creators onto the show to talk comics or movies or even the Hero Initiative. It's even more fun when we can talk about all three of those things with a favorite creator. Such is the case this week as the guys sit down with Dan Brereton. See, for more than 20 years, Cullen has been a huge fan of Dan's work, going back to his original Nocturnals series. Since then, we have seen his work on Thrillkiller, Legends of the Dark Knight, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and so many more books. Along the way, Dan became a regular contributor the Hero Initiative's 100 Cover projects. Tonight, Dan will be in Portland at a special screening of the 1982 movie John Carpenter's The Thing in 70mm. Following the showing, Dan and other artists will be signing The Thing: Artbook, which features 375 images inspired by the movie. If you can't make the showing, and it is sold out, then you can meet Dan tomorrow at Excalibur Comics in Portland from 12-3 PM. Following our talk with Dan, we take a look at the recent New York Comic Con, which turned out to be a rough weekend for Marvel without it being entirely their fault. We also review some upcoming appearances, including the Free State Comicon (October 21) and the Kansas City Comic Con (November 10-12). We would love to hear your comments on the show.

It's another busy week at the Worst. Comic. Podcast. EVER! Let's cut out the jibber-jabber and get right into the podcast, OK? First up is John's interview with artist Morgan Beem, whose work you will see next week with the release of The Family Trade #1 by Image Comics. The guys got to meet Morgan at Rose City Comic Con last month and fell in love with her artwork. John interviewed Morgan before she took off for New York Comic Con, which is going on right now! Look for The Family Trade on shelves next Wednesday. Next up, John bravely took one for the team and watched Marvel's Inhumans, Gifted, and the first three episodes of Star Trek: Discovery. Listen in to figure out which ones he liked or didn't like, and what he is most likely to keep tuning in for this season. Then all three guys discuss Marvel Legacy #1, which came out last week. This is a giant-size issue kicking off the next big thing from Marvel Comics. We see the first incarnation of the Avengers, from the dawn of humankind. We get teases to Wakanda in space, the Kingpin as Mayor of New York City, and the long overdue return of the Fantastic Four. We run through some of the upcoming titles launching out of Legacy to see which ones intrigue us and which ones we may wait to see in the quarter bins at a future show.

It only took 172 episodes, but we finally -- FINALLY -- got comic book writer Jai Nitz on the line with us to talk comics. Specifically his new comic Fu Jitsu from Aftershock Comics. This book has been in the making for 10 years, going through multiple revisions before arriving at your local comic shop this week. In this book, Fu Jitsu is the world's smartest boy and has been for the last hundred years. Yes, this book is crazy like that. Jai and artist Wesley St. Claire deliver a knockout first issue that impressed all of us in the WCPE studios! But before we can speak to Jai, we get in some comic and TV talk. Shows are returning to the air this week, with premieres already for Gotham, Orville, and Star Trek: Discovery. Which ones are we going to watch, skip, or catch-up on next summer from Netflix? We also recount our visit to the Little Apple Comic Expo last weekend, visiting friends, diving into 50 cent bins, and helping someone track down a book read more than 30 years ago.

For the long-time listeners of this podcast (and God bless you for doing so!), you know that we don't always promote what we will be talking about the next week at the time of our podcast recording. The reason we don't do that is pretty obvious - most times we don't know what we will be talking about in seven days. And sometimes, we don't know what we will be talking about seven minutes before we hit RECORD. This is one of those weeks. So we gathered up some various topics that interest us from the last week. None are worthy of a full episode-long discussion, but string enough of them together and we might have a show. Emphasis on might.... On today's episode: John and Jerry attend The Realm book signing at Elite Comics, which was filled with so many of our friends. Meanwhile, Cullen made a visit to our new friends at Comic Cave PDX to drop off a Dave Gibbons-signed edition of Watchmen. Batman Day is coming up tomorrow at finer comic book stores nationwide. But rumor has it that Harley Quinn may be taking over the party this year. We will be set up at the Little Apple Comic Expo on Saturday in Manhattan, KS. We take a quick break during the show to interview Ali and Josh Smith to tell us what to expect at LACE this year. SyFy published a list of the 25 Greatest Comic Book Writers of the last 25 Years. We applaud some of the selections, scratch our heads at some of the others, and make a pretty impressive set of names missing from the list. We wrap things up taking a look at some of our recent reads, including Metal, Superb, and Mister Miracle. We would love to hear your comments on the show.

The 2017 Rose City Comic Con is in the books, and the Worst. Comic. Podcast. EVER! is proud to have been right in the middle of it all. Over the weekend, we spent three incredible days working the Hero Initiative booth, managing donation buckets in artist alley, and meeting some of the coolest comic fans in America. Oh yeah, and we also spent some time with creator Dave Gibbons. Yes, that DAVE GIBBONS! We took some time out on Sunday afternoon to sit down with Dave and chat for a few minutes about Watchmen, Superman Annual #11 and his work on the big screen. This comes hours after we hosted his panel at Rose City Comic Con. Don't believe us? Check out our Facebook feed from last Sunday morning! We spend the rest of the episode catching up on Rose City - the people we met, friends we saw, and goodies we purchased. A special thank you goes out to Silk Spectre/Black Cat, who brought us the Brazilian Brownies on Sunday. We would be remiss if we did not mention the passing of writer Len Wein, as the news broke late in the day on Sunday at the con. Len is one of the most influential creators of all time, helping to create the likes of Swamp Thing, Wolverine, the All-New X-Men, and more. He also edited Watchmen with Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons. It's because of creators like Len and Dave that we proudly donate our time (and money!) to the Hero Initiative, and we encourage you to do that too. We would love to hear your comments on the show.

It's the nerd's version of Christmas Eve for the guys from the Worst. Comic. Podcast. EVER! At the time of recording this show, we were just a day away from reuniting for the Rose City Comic Con in Portland, OR. By the time you listen to this, we will be watching the sun come up in the west. Of course, with a big weekend planned, it's hard to focus on any single topic this week, so we jump all over the place with our conversation. You will hear us talk about: Recent reads from floppy issues and collected editions. Our panel with guest Dave Gibbons. Our first encounters with Watchmen. A look at notable comic book releases from 1986. Batman: The Animated Series turns 25 years old this week. Nothing is slowing down the Wonder Woman movie!

We are super-excited to have comic creator Jeremy Haun on the show with us this week. Jeremy (along with Seth Peck, Nick Filardi, and Thomas Mauer) is launching a new book for Image Comics later this month. The Realm #1 hits shelves on September 13, but we get Jeremy to reveal all of the secrets from the first issue.... Well, maybe just some of the secrets..... Truth be told, he didn't tell us a lot about it so we will have to buy this book from him Jeremy will be going on a book tour this month to promote The Realm, including stops at Rose City Comic Con in Portland and Elite Comics in Overland Park. Make plans to get one of the secret cover editions from Jeremy at these shows. Speaking of shows, we are one week away from Rose City Comic Con. You can find the WCPE guys volunteering at the Hero Initiative table (#718). Not only will you find us there, you will also find legendary artist Dave Gibbons signing and sketching at the table all weekend. His list of credits is staggering, with Watchmen, Superman Annual #11, Green Lantern Corps, Martha Washington, Kingsmen and more. He even has a panel on Sunday - hope they find some good panel hosts for him! We would love to hear your comments on the show. Let us know what you've been reading or watching this week.

Welcome to Marvel Saga, a new 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 issue, Spider-Man applies for a fantastic job, Iron Man strikes gold, Thor loses his hammer, and circuses remain the most dangerous places in America. Plus we celebrate the Jack Kirby Centennial.

Another week, another podcast because the guys from the Worst. Comic. Podcast. EVER! love you. Ohhh Yeahhh! The week started out with the various publishers releasing their solicits for November 2017. We scanned the listings and picked out some of the books that intrigued us. As always, if there is an upcoming book that you really want to get, make sure you let your local comic shop know that so they can order one for you. Jerry and John both got the chance to watch the new Defenders series on Netflix over the weekend. We discuss the highlights and the lowlights (i.e., Iron Fist) of the new eight-episode series. We wrap things up with some listener feedback and some quick recaps of what we have been reading lately.

Welcome back my friends to the show that never ends. We're so glad you could attend. Come inside, come inside... We are back in the recording studios with a big stack of brand new comics to talk about. On top of the pile is the new Mister Miracle book from DC Comics. Creators Tom King and Mitch Gerads (The Sheriff of Babylon) are back giving their spin on a classic Kirby creation. This book is beautiful and amazing and disturbing, sometimes all on the same page. Do yourself a favor and buy this book! We also take a look at the 100 Kirbys project occurring next weekend in Omaha, NE. Brought to you by OmahaBound and Krypton Comics, artist Phil Hester will be drawing 100 Jack Kirby characters as a fundraiser for the Hero Initiative. You can get in on the action beginning on Monday via heroinitiative.org. Jerry discusses finally seeing Valerian and reading the first comic that served as the basis for the movie. John reviews Dept. H from Matt and Sharlene Kindt. Cullen shares his plans for the Great American Eclipse on Monday. We wrap things up with making some recommendations for strong female-led comic stories that do not have a lot of back history, a la Wonder Woman. We would love to hear your comments on the show.

Another busy week for the guys of the Worst. Comic. Podcast. EVER!, and the schools haven't even started yet! Get comfortable as this is going to be a fun, but busy show. We start out with an interview with writer/artist Bruce McCorkindale, whose brand new version of The Falling Man is now available on Comixology. This is a project that has bounced around over the last two decades, but now it is fully finished in color and available in the digital format. We discuss the history of The Falling Man, working with Phil Hester, and Bruce's cover re-creations. Next, the guys FINALLY wrap up their summer reading program with the final installment of AvX. It took us 77 issues over eight weeks time but we have reached the end. At this point, it's not a matter of who won or who lost, it's that we finished the story. We sprinkle in some discussion of Mark Millar's deal with Netflix and what titles we would like to see developed into TV shows, as well as discuss the new costume identity for Batman's new partner Duke.

While Cullen was slowly melting away in Hot Portland, John and Jerry were chilling with milkshakes in Comfortable Kansas City at our weekly recording of the Worst. Comic. Podcast. EVER! We lead off the show talking about the #MakeMineMilkshakes story from over the weekend. People, apparently some of you need a reminder. You must use Twitter and Facebook and other social media for good things. Don't be a troll. Don't harass people. (Unless it is Nicholas Cage, in which we would like to remind him that the open invite to our podcast is still good.) Next up is a look at two recent reads from John's pile of new books. We start with CalExit from Black Mask Studios, which imagines a world where the major cities in California split from the state following an unpopular election. So ask yourself, is this real or fiction? Next is Dark Days: The Casting from DC Comics, which brings us one step closer to the Metal event this fall. Finally, we reach the penultimate point of our AvX summer reading. Characters die, relationships are damaged, and the story just keeps on going. But we can see the light at the end of the tunnel. Or is it the lights of Kauffman Stadium? The Worst. Comic. Podcast. EVER! is proudly sponsored by Clint's Comics.

Did you miss us last week? Because we missed you! Hopefully, you enjoyed both episodes last week while we took some much-needed time away from the WCPE Recording Studios. So this week we are back together to talk a lot of AvX comics! We have two weeks worth of reading to catch up on, looking for meanings and messages hidden between the fight scenes. We also take a look at the 2017 San Diego Comic Con. Of course, there was so much that came out of that con that we could spend episodes discussing, so we try to narrow our talk to the items that interested us the most, whether that was movie trailers or comic news. As always, the Worst. Comic. Podcast. EVER! is sponsored by Clint's Comics, 3941 Main Street, Kansas City, MO. Please stop by one of the oldest comic book stores in America, and let them know that we sent you!

Welcome to our summer of 2017 clips show. Unlike other shows, we are giving you fresh clips vs. recycling old clips from past shows. First up has John visiting the Illustration Academy in Kansas City two weeks ago. After sitting in on some classes, John interviewed artist Vanesa del Rey and concept artist Wesley Burt. Next, Jerry sat down with some comic book artists back at Smallville Comic Con. To start, X-Men: Gold artist Ken Lashley talks about his time in Smallville and the hubbub around his current assignment. Jerry moved across the aisle to speak to artist Kevin Nowlan, who has done a little bit of everything over his 35-year career in comics. Finally, we did speak to some of our friends at Free Comic Book Day back in May at Clint's Comics. John starts by speaking to Mikayla Carson, Miss City of Fountains in the Miss Missouri program. Mikayla is a comic fan as well as an outstanding ambassador for Kansas City. John then speaks to artist Steve Daniels, a KC artist who is also a regular behind the counter at Clint's Comics. Vanesa del Rey - 1:45 - 10:15 Wesley Burt - 10:15 - 17:40 Ken Lashley - 17:40 - 21:05 Kevin Nowlan - 21:05 - 26:35 Mikayla Carson - 26:35 - 33:50 Steve Daniels - 33:50 - 42:10

Welcome to the first of two podcasts this week. We take a week off, and you get more content. How does that math work out? First up is John's interview with actress Allison Arngrim from O Comic Con. Alison is most well known for playing Nellie on Little House on the Prairie. John hosted one of her panels at OCC and sat down with her later to chat one-on-one. Next is Jerry's interview with actor Erick Avari from Smallville Comic Con. Erick has been in dozens of movies and TV shows, from Seinfeld to The West Wing and from Independence Day to Stargate. Like all good actors, he longs for the opportunity to play King Lear on stage. Jerry sits down to discuss his career, driving the country, and Ben's Bells. Finally, John interviews actor Alain Chanoine from the Smallville Comic Con. Alain was most recently seen as the Incubus in Suicide Squad. John and Alain sit down to discuss the path he took to reach the big screen. Allison Arngrim - 1:50 - 19:40 Erick Avari - 19:40 - 29:20 Alain Chanoine - 29:20 - 40:45

"Can't you just be a friendly neighborhood Spider-Man?" It's been a busy week for the WCPE guys. We all got out to see Spider-Man: Homecoming on its opening weekend. LOVED IT! John & Jerry appeared at O Comic Con, hosting panels left and right. NAILED IT! We also read 10 more issues of the AvX event. DISCUSSED IT! Next week, you get not one, but two new episodes as we take the week off. Enjoy some of our recent interviews from Free Comic Book Day, Smallville Comic Con and O Comic Con.
