Worst. Comic. Podcast. Ever!

On this week's episode of the Worst. Comic. Podcast. EVER!: Did you watch the Academy Awards on Sunday? Ever wish our favorite comic book movies got the same consideration as the artsy-fartsy movies do? Jerry and John give out their Academy Awards to the movies, directors, and stars of comic book movies, which cover a range of movies from 45 years ago to 4 months ago.  So if Planet Comicon starts on Friday, that makes Thursday Planet Comicon Eve, so today should be Planet Comicon Adam, right? We are now just hours away from the start of Planet Comicon in Kansas City. The entire WCPE crew is all set up and ready for three days of maximum fun. You can find us at table 339 in Artist Alley manning the table for the Hero Initiative. In addition, you can attend our WCPE panel Saturday at 6 PM in room 2505B. We have lots of great items to give away, just by participating or even attending.  As always, we have our Pick 3 choices sponsored by our friends at Clint's Comics.  We would love to hear your comments on the

On this week's episode of the Worst. Comic. Podcast. EVER!: The Mandalorian returned to Disney+ with the start of season three this past week. It feels like homecoming week, as Mando and Grogu check in with a lot of familiar faces from prior seasons and set up the path for this season. Because, you know, this is the way.  Marvel announced a new imprint line for their Fox movie adaptions, such as Alien, Predator, and, coming next month, Planet of the Apes. But what about that 800-pound Rancor sitting in the corner? As this podcast goes up, we will be less than ten days away from the start of Planet Comicon. The WCPE panel will be Saturday night at 6 PM. Lots of great giveaways planned for the panel, so plan on being there! As always, we have our 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.

On this week's episode of the Worst. Comic. Podcast. EVER!: Seems like every weekend of late, there has been some kind of comic or toy show going on in the Kansas City area. Heck, It probably applies to all areas these days. We take a look this week at the business of starting up a con - how many cons are too many, and what happens if the market dries up. Trust us, we are not complaining about having too many shows to choose from.  This past week, the creator of the Dilbert comic strip, a mainstay of newspapers' comic pages for decades, took to YouTube in a racist rant that seems to signal the end of a profitable career. We offer our thoughts on the subject. Hopefully, the door doesn't hit him too hard on his way out of the industry.  We are just two weeks away from Planet Comicon, and the WCPE panel will be Saturday night at 6 PM. Lots of great giveaways planned for the panel, so plan on being there! As always, we have our Pick 3 choices sponsored by our friends at Clint's Comics.  We would love to hear yo

On this week's episode of the Worst. Comic. Podcast. EVER!: The new Ant-Man and the Wasp movie opened last weekend, and Jerry & John each took in a showing at their local theaters. What did we think of it? More importantly, what did you think of it? Let us know in the comments. Is it OK for us to be excited about the new Flash trailer coming later this summer? Can we dislike the lead actor but still love the movie? The questions are heavy this week. And that's before we can talk about the new Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 trailer. Who lives and who dies? We are just three weeks away from Planet Comicon, and the WCPE panel will be Saturday night at 6 PM. Lots of great giveaways planned for the panel, so plan on being there!

On this week's episode of the Worst. Comic. Podcast. EVER!: We got on the subject of multi-part stories with our pre-show discussion and decided to bring it to the show for you to listen in on a story. When is a story too long? Too many issues in a story arc? Too many years on a title by the same writer building to a conclusion that doesn't deliver? No right or wrong answers here, but it makes for an interesting topic.  We are just four weeks away from Planet Comicon, and the WCPE panel will be Saturday night at 6 PM. Lots of great giveaways planned for the panel, so plan on being there!

On this week's episode of the Worst. Comic. Podcast. EVER!: It's been a bit since we last heard from James Gunn, co-head of DC Studios. Think he might have some announcements? Try 10 of them, which he dropped on the nerd community last week. We run down the list of new movie and tv projects and share our thoughts about what we will see or not see in Phase 1.  A previous guest on the show and one of our favorite creators, Terry Moore, has a new Kickstarter project that has just started.

On this week's episode of the Worst. Comic. Podcast. EVER!: Amazon announced some layoffs this past week, which included 50-75% of the staff supporting Comixology. What does that mean for the digital readers and are there any other options? Seeing that this podcast publishes on Wednesdays, it seemed only natural that the guys watch Wednesday on Netflix.

On this week's episode of the Worst. Comic. Podcast. EVER!: Without trying to jinx anyone with nearly four full days left in December, but it looks like we survived another year.

On this week's episode of the Worst. Comic. Podcast. EVER!: We got the chance to visit with artist Megan Levens, who is doing the art on Star Trek: Strange New Worlds #1 out today from IDW. Megan is a die-hard Trek fan and getting the opportunity to illustrate Captain Pike (and his hair!), Number One, Spock, and the rest of the crew is a dream come true. We discuss her previous Star Trek work for IDW, taking a Star Trek cruise, and her other Star project that she has been working on.   As this podcast is released, we have three shopping days left until Christmas!

On this week's episode of the Worst. Comic. Podcast. EVER!: We were treated to the first trailer for Guardians of the Galaxy 3 this week. So many feelings with this series!

On this week's episode of the Worst. Comic. Podcast. EVER!: Finally, we have the chance to get caught up on Andor this week, as Season One finished last week. (What will we do now with our Wednesday nights?) We share our thoughts on the last episodes and the season as a whole.  Disney+ was not done with the big releases last week, such as the Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special. Will this become a holiday standard that we watch year after year? All signs point to yes.  Jerry found some new Humble Bundles which will catch you on a lot of comics from the last decade plus.  Superman is getting his secret identity back. How about a show of hands, who was surprised by this announcement? As always, we have our Pick 3 choices sponsored by our friends at Clint's Comics.   We would love to hear your comments on the show.

On this week's episode of the Worst. Comic. Podcast. EVER!: We are all back in the studios this week, and we cannot wait to talk about Black Panther: Wakanda Forever with you. This movie was everything we were hoping for in the sequel, following the passing of Chadwick Boseman in 2020. Hear our thoughts about what excited us, inspired us, and moved us to tears. DC Comics announced last week a new initiative for 2023, Dawn of DC. We run down what is in the announcement and what isn't (or should have been) in the announcement. We are going to push back the Andor discussion for just one more week! We will give you recaps of episodes 10-12 to round out season 1 of our favorite Star Wars series.

On this week's episode of the Worst. Comic. Podcast. EVER!: We are so excited to be able to share our interview with comic creator Richard Pace. If you visited the Hero Initiative table at Planet Comicon last spring, you would have had the chance to meet Richard. We were delighted to be his hosts that weekend, and are more delighted to have him sit in with us to talk about comics. We were nearly 20 minutes into our conversation before we figured we should press RECORD so we could let you in on the wonderful conversation.  Between last week's podcast recording and the recording of this episode, the comic industry was hit hard with the loss of three titans - artists Kevin O'Neill and Carlos Pacheco, and voice actor Kevin Conroy. If any of their creative work ever inspired or moved you, consider dropping a buck into the next Hero Initiative bucket you see. We didn't forget to watch Andor this week! We just ran out of time to talk about it. We'll catch up with the two episodes, plus we might have some thoughts t

On this week's episode of the Worst. Comic. Podcast. EVER!: We're going to lead with our Pick 3 selections this week, sponsored by our friends at Clint's Comics in Kansas City. There are a lot of really interesting books coming out this week. This could have easily been a Pick 15 week for us if we wanted to. Get into your store this week and pick up some new books - and make sure you are up-to-date with your pull box.  We have an interesting discussion on the continuity over at DC Comics. Or maybe it's a lack of continuity. Does continuity matter anymore? Listen to what we have to share, but then let us know what you think about continuity.  Some favorite questions are just impossible to answer. Name your favorite kid? Not going to do it if either can hear me. Name your favorite member of the podcast? Inconceivable! Another impossible question is to name your favorite episode of Andor? Episode 9 did not disappoint, as we are just three weeks away from the finale.  We've got some random comic talk about new b

On this week's episode of the Worst. Comic. Podcast. EVER!: See any good trailers this week? Like the new trailer for Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania? What about the Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special coming to Disney + later this month? Wowsers!!! Great stuff coming in the next few months from Marvel. DC appears to have found their version of Kevin Feige to oversee their films. Word came out last week that director James Gunn and producer Peter Safron will oversee the DC movies going forward. This has us excited, as well as a lot of other fans.  Andor episode 8 did not slow down at all. Seriously, prison life is not that glamorous a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away. Hear our thoughts about the best Star Wars show to date.  The Ringo Awards were announced over the weekend at Baltimore Comic-Con.
