We are back in our home studios this week for the recording. And there was much rejoicing, hip hip hooray. We have a full recap of our trip to Tremendicon last week. People we saw, panels we hosted, and the tremendous amount of money we raised for Hero Initiative. The comic community lost another great creator this past week, with the passing of Marjane Satrapi of Persepolis fame. We have our weekly Pick 3 choices, sponsored by our friends at Clint's Comics. Plus we have a new trivia question and a look at last week's Top 10 list of titles sold. Well, we say Top 10. Truthfully, it's nine new books and one book that came out two weeks ago.

We also get a fresh take on the story, with friend of the show Bill Schmidt sitting in with us for this discussion. Jerry and John are recording this on the road this weekend from Tremendicon.

WCPEver Episode 621 - Call It Kinkstarter
We are two weeks away from discussing our next WCPE Book Club selection, Wonder Woman Historia from DC Comics. If you want to join us for that discussion, send us a note. Last week saw a surprise announcement from Kickstarter's credit card processor, Stripe. Turns out they no longer want to process purchases for items in the NSFW category. This has been a huge discussion all week, and has led to some interesting pushback. HOWEVER, after we recorded this episode, Kickstarter issued an apology and said they would continue moving forward with the mature projects. John and Jerry are headed to Tremendicon in Springfield, MO, for the last weekend of May. We will do a live podcast recording, host some panels, and represent the Hero Initiative as we always do.

WCPEver Episode 620 - Remembering Gerry Conway
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 many others. Is anyone getting mixed messages from Marvel Comics? A while back, a message went out from senior editorial that they were scaling back events, yet all of last week's Comic Giveaway Day books were intros to upcoming events in Avengers, X-Men, Spider-Man and Hulk. Jerrry finished season 2 of Daredevil and John is keeping up with The Boys. We have our weekly Pick 3 choices, sponsored by our friends at Clint's Comics.

WCPEver Episode 619 - Hercules Book Club
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. Sounds like a good read to us! Joining us for the book club this month is friend-of-the-podcast Don Leibold. If you haven't joined already, take a look at Don's group on Facebook, The Comic Book Panel. Stick around to the very end to find out about next month's selection for WCPE Book Club. Cullen has a modern choice from DC Comics' Black Label line. We would love to hear your comments on the show.

WCPEver Episode 617 - The Greatest Living Comic Book Writer and Artist?
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 but not unexpected. Have you made your Free Comic Book Day plans yet? Come out to Independence and see Jerry and John at Clint's. We have our weekly Pick 3 choices, sponsored by our friends at Clint's Comics.

WCPEver Episode 614 - The New Teen Titans: The Judas Contract Book Club
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. We set up at Boulevard Brewery for a drink and draw fundraiser. We hosted five panels with the likes of Dan Mora, Adam Kubert, Paul Dini, Chris Claremont, and many more. We did a live podcast panel complete with guest artists. And somehow, we even made time to record our next Book Club episode! This time, we are travelling back to the mid-1980s as we revisit the Teen Titans for The Judas Contract, where the Titans discovered a traitor on their team, Jericho signs up for the team (see what I did there!), and Dick Grayson finally decides on a new costumed identity. Written by Marv Wolfman with art by George Perez, this is THE Teen Titans story to read. Recorded on the con floor, Jerry, John, and Cullen are joined by loyal listener Eric Haar as we dissect this storyline. Stick around to the very end to find out about next month's selection for WCPE Book Club. We return to the MCU, and we stick with a story from the 1980s, but it's set in the far future.

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. 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!
