On this week's episode of the Worst. Comic. Podcast. EVER!, Cullen and Jerry sit down with legendary comic creator Karl Kesel to discuss his book Section Zero. But wait... There is no Section Zero! Karl and artist Tom Grummett first launched Section Zero on an imprint label with Image Comics. The project was put on hold due to other commitments by the creators, until finally it was brought back out last year with a very successful Kickstarter campaign. Section Zero reads like a love letter to Jack Kirby, reminiscent of the comics filled with adventure and action. A government team tracks down the unusual, from UFOs and dinosaurs to aliens and monsters. You know you want to read this, right? Well, good news for you then, as Image Comics will be releasing (or is that re-releasing?) Section Zero beginning in April. Be sure to tell your local comic shop to hold a copy or two for you! We have our Pick 3 choices for books coming out next week at your local comic book shops. John phoned in his pick for the week, and

On this week's episode of the Worst. Comic. Podcast. EVER!: We discuss the retirement announcement from legendary creator George Pérez. Due to his ongoing health issues, George announced over the weekend that he will be stepping away from future comic work.

We share our thoughts on his career, our favorite runs, and even our favorite covers done by Pérez. We have our Pick 3 choices for books coming out next week at your local comic book shops. It doesn't happen often, but we did not pick a single book from Marvel or DC. Instead, we have picks from Dark Horse, IDW and Image Comics. Can you guess our picks? We finish things up with a look ahead at the solicits for books coming out in March. It's not too late to let your local shop know what you want to pick up. We give you our highlights of books we want to read this spring. Remember you can find Cullen at the Hero Initiative table at Wiza

So you may not have seen this on your calendar this week, but Wednesday, January 16, was National Nothing Day. Completely true. Couldn't make this up if we tried. It was very appropriate, because as we did a check in our group chat, the general consensus was that we had nothing to talk about this week. Nonetheless, we persisted in talking about something for well over an hour. Of course, you will get your Kansas City and Portland weather updates. We skipped over the old man aches and pains section of the show -- sorry to disappoint all five of you who enjoy hearing about our ailments. We know who you are! We've got our Pick 3 choices, sponsored each and every week by Clint's Comics. This week, Cullen & John try to guess Jerry's pick. It took a couple of tries, but they finally succeeded. Yay, team! We run down some recent reads. Jerry bunkered down during the first storm of January with both his new books and John's new books, and did a lot of reading of paper comics. John and Cullen opted for some digita

On this week's episode of the Worst. Comic. Podcast. EVER!, winter has arrived in the Midwest! Dealing with the snow and ice and cold has the guys thinking about their favorite characters and stories involving snow and ice and cold. Sadly, we made no mention of the Blue Snowman. Please accept our sincere apologies. Wait, you do know who the Blue Snowman is, right? The Golden Age Wonder Woman villainess who used a ray gun to create blue snow.

So tune in and find out which characters and stories we did bring up in discussion. We also have our weekly Pick 3, sponsored by Clint's Comics.

So how was your Thanksgiving? Hopefully you got plenty of turkey -- of tofurkey or Thai food, whatever floats your boat - in you yesterday, and now you are ready to go spend you money in a Black Friday spending frenzy. Well, be sure to bring along the Worst. Comic. Podcast. EVER! while you wait in the check-out line.  So we offer up some suggestions for items you might pick up today, be it for yourself or the special comic-loving nerd in your life. Obviously, we're going to encourage you to hit up your local comic shop first, because they have all kinds of unique items that won't be like the other copycat gifts to be found at a box store. We also suggest reaching out to artists and consider adding some original art into your collection.  As usual, we have our weekly Pick 3 selections for books coming out next Wednesday, November 28. Cullen and Jerry do their best to guess John's pick this week. We offer up a lot of close choices before we finally correctly get his pick. We also offer up a special treat this w

Face front, True Believers! The flags of the comic book community are at half-mast this week as we mourn the loss of Stan Lee at the age of 95. As the writer, editor, architect, and salesman of the Marvel Universe, Lee oversaw a revolution in the comic book industry, transforming Marvel from a publisher on the verge of folding into the industry juggernaut. During his time, he helped to create Spider-Man, the Fantastic Four, the X-Men, the Hulk, Thor, Iron Man, Doctor Strange, Daredevil, She-Hulk and so many more. During our discussion, we lost our connection with John, but Cullen and Jerry continued the conversation about Lee and his impact on comics. Before we lost John, we did get his selection for Pick 3, for new books coming out next Wednesday, November 21. Be sure to get there and stock up on comics before the long holiday weekend. We speak from experience, so trust the WCPE guys and buy these books! We would love to hear your comments on the show. Let us know what you've been reading or watching this we
