WCPEver Episode 620 - Remembering Gerry Conway
WORST. COMIC. PODCAST. EVER!
We are getting caught up after last week's Book Club discussion, and we are already working on next month's selection of Wonder Woman Historia from DC Comics. If you want to join us for that discussion, send us a note. A day after we recorded episode 618, we learned of the passing of writer Gerry Conway. Conway was part of the wave of new creators joining comics in the late 1960s and early 1970s. He quickly made his mark, taking over writing chores on Amazing Spider-Man from Stan Lee. Along the way, he helped co-create characters like the Punisher, Firestorm, Power Girl, Ms. Marvel, and...

WCPEver Episode 619 - Hercules Book Club
WORST. COMIC. PODCAST. EVER!
Journey with us to the early days of the concept called a mini-series. With four issues, writers and artists had the opportunity to explore characters and concepts that might not easily fit into an ongoing monthly title. For example, our choice for this month's book club is Hercules, the 1982 series from creator Bob Layton and Marvel Comics. Taking place some time in the future, Hercules is sent to space by his father, Zeus, to find humility. He may not find the humility, but he does save a kidnapped maiden, protect a planet from going missing, and drops some drugs into Galactus's wine glass....

WCPEver Episode 617 - The Greatest Living Comic Book Writer and Artist?
WORST. COMIC. PODCAST. EVER!
It's another one of those weeks where we think we have nothing to talk about, and then we talk and talk for more than an hour. You're welcome! First and foremost, our thoughts are with artist Adam Hughes this week. Get better, sir! You still have hundreds, if not thousands, of variant covers to do. A new biography is coming out this summer focusing on a creator billed as "the greatest living comic book writer and artist." We take a look at the creator, list some pros and cons for that choice, and offer up a few alternatives. It was a rough week to be an editor at Marvel. Disappointing...

WORST. COMIC. PODCAST. EVER!
So, what did everyone do last weekend? For the guys of the Worst Comic Podcast Ever, well, we manned the Hero Initiative table at Planet Comicon.
