WCPEver Episode 595 - The Big Two Cross Promotions!
WORST. COMIC. PODCAST. EVER!
Remember the classic holiday film Miracle on 34th Street? There's a point in the movie, after a suggestion by Kris Kringle, where the Macy's employees start instructing customers to go across the street to Gimbel's to purchase gifts at a better price. At first, management is flabbergasted by the suggestion, but then they realize the goodwill they are building with their customers. We reference this movie because last week, Marvel Unlimited sent out emails to its subscribers promoting DC Universe Infinite. At the same time, DC Universe Infinite sent out emails to its subscribers promoting...

WCPEver Episode 590 - News From New York Comic Con
WORST. COMIC. PODCAST. EVER!
As we recorded the episode this week, New York Comic Con was entering its final day, filled with all kinds of big reveals. Most surprising had to have been the sheer number of announcements coming from DC Comics, which in past years has used San Diego Comic Con as their "home" show to share their upcoming projects. In fact, Marvel Comics seemed to be quiet, but Marvel Studios had a lot to share. Jerry was travelling this week and was dependent upon the hotel Wi-Fi. So apologies in advance for the quality of the show this week. Then again, we are the Worst. We have our weekly Pick...
