WCPEver Episode 611 - DC KO #5 and Mike Richardson Out at Dark Horse
Look what Wednesday has given you! A brand-spankin' new episode of the Worst. Comic. Podcast. EVER! It's going to be a great day, as new comics are out today and you have Cullen, Jerry, and John to talk nerdy with for the next hour. The big book of the week has to have been DC KO #5, wrapping up the battle between Luthor Superman and Darkseid. And as much as this was an ending to the mini-series, it serves as a teaser for what DC Comics has planned for the rest of 2026. Shocking news out of the Pacific Northwest this week, as Mike Richardson was let go from Dark Horse Comics. While, on the face of it, that was a shock to many people in the industry, reading between the lines shows that this move was bound to happen. We just were not expecting it this week in this manner. Did you see the trailer for Lanterns coming later this year on HBO? We cannot wait to hear Kyle Chandler's southern drawl reciting the Green Lantern oath. The Beauty wrapped up season 1 over at FX/Hulu. Will there be a season 2? We are just two weeks away from Planet Comicon. We got some panel news to share with you, and we expect you to attend all of them. We have our weekly Pick 3 choices, sponsored by our friends at Clint's Comics.

ComicsPro, the comic shop retailer network, held its annual meeting last week in Los Angeles. Many of the publishers used the opportunity to showcase new projects and announcements.

It's an interesting debate, and the answer might be no. Give us a listen and let us know your thoughts. WCPE Book Club is next week. Be sure to read Avengers vs. X-Men from 1987 before next week's show. Drop us a line if you would like to sit in on the recording this weekend. Don't panic, but Planet Comicon is coming up soon.

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.

WCPEver Episode 595 - The Big Two Cross Promotions!
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.

WCPEver Episode 593 - West Coast Avengers Book Club
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. Sitting in with us this month is friend-of-the-show Cade Streeter, who is slightly younger than the West Coast Avengers franchise. We have our weekly Pick 3 choices, sponsored by our friends at Clint's Comics. We would love to hear your comments on the show. Let us know what you’ve been reading or watching this week.

WCPEver Episode 590 - News From New York Comic Con
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 3 choices, sponsored by our friends at Clint's Comics.
