WORST. COMIC. PODCAST. EVER!

Due to the timing of our book club last week, we held off looking at some end-of-the-year sales charts for 2025. What were the best-selling individual issues and titles for the past year? If you want to be on top, you'd best have the words "Absolute" and/or "Batman" in your title.  Jerry has an interesting story to share about shopping for a Shazam book last weekend.  There are two new comic book Humble Bundle offerings that we think you should look at. One of them benefits the Hero Initiative.  Have you started reading Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow yet? The next book club...

With apologies to REM, it's the end of the year as we know it! We have reached the last day of 2025, which presents a good opportunity to reflect on the past year in comics and movies. What did we like, what did we not like, and what needs to change in 2026?  We take a closer look at last week's DC KO issue between the Joker and the Red Hood. Help us figure out who won the matches in this one! Next week, we will be reviewing Fantastic Four: Unstable Molecules!

WORST. COMIC. PODCAST. EVER!

So, here you go, episode #600! We could have lined up a super-star guest. But we are the worst. We could have put together a greatest hits clips show. But we are the worst. Nope, for episode #600, it's just another week in the studio for the guys.  This episode is going up on Christmas Eve, and there are all kinds of great books being released today at your LCS. Get to the store today to get the books, because there is no guarantee that the Big Guy in Red will bring them to you tomorrow.  DC is pushing all of their books out this week, and will be taking next week off. But what will...

WORST. COMIC. PODCAST. EVER!

The guys got to fulfill a handful of dreams last weekend, as we all gathered at Clint's Comics to help get the store set up following the move to Independence. Cullen flew in from Portland to join Jerry and John (along with our friend Mark Willis!) to move the back issue boxes into order and stock the shelves with hardcovers and trade paperbacks. There is still some work that needs to be done, but it is looking like a comic book store for sure! We are just a few weeks away from our next WCPE Book Club read-along, which will be Fantastic Four: Unstable Molecules. Look for it in the app or find...

WORST. COMIC. PODCAST. EVER!

Jerry and John made a trip to Independence, Missouri, on Saturday to stop in at the new home for Clint's Comics. Located at 815 N. Noland Rd, it is just four miles north of I-70, which makes it easy to get to. Sharon is still getting the new store in order, so give her another week or two before you rush in to welcome her to the neighborhood. Netflix made like The Godfather and made an offer on Warner Brothers / Discovery that they could not refuse. Of course, we make mention of this because DC Comics has long been a part of Warner Bros. What does it mean to us? Will we be able to read comics...

We are back with another WCPE Book Club selection this week with a newer mini-series from DC Comics. Join us as we discuss Robin: The Boy Wonder, written and drawn by creator Juni Ba. This 2023 series takes a closer look at Damien Wayne. It's hard enough to live in the shadow of Batman, but you are also in the shadows of Dick Grayson, Jason Todd, and Tim Drake. How does the newest Robin find his place in the Bat-Family? If you've given this series a read, leave us a comment with your thoughts.  Stick around for the end of the discussion so you can get the details for next month's Book...

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...
