New Episode is up!

Fans of the show know how much Josh and @thebcomp.bsky.social love Mark Waid but does that love hold up for his retelling of Justice League of America’s origins? And for all those Marvel fans, is this the book to convert them to DC?

NEW EPISODE!

The Fantastic Four has over 60 years of history, but with that many issues it can be just a tad intimidating to jump into the deep end of Marvel’s First Family. Josh and @thebcomp.bsky.social have the perfect book for all the fans of the latest MCU film, Fantastic Four: Life Story

RIP Peter David. From his comic work to his Star Trek: Next Gen books - he was one of my favorites. He will be missed.

I just got my first letter printed in the back of a comic book! Check out Dust to Dust #5. It’s a mix of the Dust Bowl, small town Americana, and of course a serial killer. It also doesn’t hurt that @jgjones.bsky.social “killing” it with the art. Pun intended.
