WCPEver Episode 603 - Top of the Charts in 2025
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 meeting is approaching soon. We have our weekly Pick 3 choices, sponsored by our friends at Clint's Comics, plus a look at last week's Top 10 books and a new trivia question. We would love to hear your comments on the show. Let us know what you’ve been reading or watching this week. Contact us on our website, Facebook, Instagram, or by email. We want to hear from you!

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.

Help us figure out who won the matches in this one! Next week, we will be reviewing Fantastic Four: Unstable Molecules! Give this a read now before we spoil it in seven days at our WCPE Book Club.

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 be the top-selling book this week? We make our guesses. Have you read Unstable Molecules yet?

WCPEver Episode 599 - Working at Clint's
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 it in the dollar bins at your local comic shop.

WCPEver Episode 598 - Visiting the New Clint's Comics
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 on the same app that we are watching Stranger Things on? Will the next James Gunn Superman movie premiere first on streaming? Things are way too early in the process, so we can only speculate at this point. But trust us, to get nearly 600 episodes in the can, we must have been doing a lot of speculating along the way. 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 it in the dollar bins at your local comic shop.

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.

Welcome to the fourth WCPE Book Club! Where were you in the summer of 1984, when the Avengers packed their bags and headed out west? This month, we are traveling back to California with Volume 1 of West Coast Avengers! Written by Roger Stern with art by Bob Hall, West Coast Avengers has Hawkeye opening up a new branch of the team in Los Angeles, and recruiting Mockingbird, Iron Man, Tigra, and Wonder Man to join him at the Avengers estate along the coast. We are also introduced to the Blank (No worries if you don't remember him!), and we wrap it up with a battle against long-time Avengers foe, Graviton.
