We had some level issues! I tried to fix them in the edit, sorry they go up and down a bit... I did the best I could!

This episode we'll talk about the 3 DC Next Level titles with Lobo, Deathstroke, and Batgirl. Also on DC we got promised a decent jumping on point on Nightwing, so we skimmed that one as well. And if you thought we forgot about Marvel, you thought wrong! Andy read the Sentry.

At the top of the episode we'll talk the spider-man trailer, and get all of our fan theories out of the way.

Put on your headphones! It's time for more first issue club. This week Mike and Vargas talk Eve L. Ewings X-Men title that gets the whole gang back together, Imperial Guardians spinning out of Marvels Imperial event, a new red-band Alias series starring Jessica Jones, a new take on Usagi Yojimbo in Kaito '84, and wrapping it up with this weeks indie darling - Tigress Island.

This week, the members of the club collectively read Ben Percy's Punisher, Is Ted Okay by Dave Chrisholm, Spider-Man/Venom: Death Spiral by all the guys, Phantom of the Opera by my dudes, The Peril of the Brutal Dark: An Ezra Cain Mystery by the other guys, and Predator: Bloodshed by the boys.

Exquisite Corpses has gone double digits! Join Greg and Mike as they cover the issue beat by beat, and speculate about what it all could mean for the finality of this series!!! NOTE: We were trying to remember how many issues there were during this episode... it's 13! An issue for each of the 13 colonies and killers.

A bunch of first issues this week, so we skipped the news and got right to readin'. This week we speculate on Avengers Armageddon while reading a Wolverine series lead-in by Chip Zdarsky. Outside of that we're all indies! End of Life by Kyle Starks is full of dirtbags, White Sky on Image Comics is the most hyped book of the week, Kermit becomes a PI in Muppets Noir, A movie frachise extends into comics with Smile for the Camera, stuff obviously gets crazy in Florida Hippopotamus Cocaine Massacre, 80's cartoons meet drug filled action thriller in Death Fight Forever, aaaaaand I think thats it?! Happy reading!

Vargas and Mike walked into the comic shop this week after taking out an equity loan on the podcast studio, to buy something like 12 first issues! I'll try to list them all for your benefit: Wade Wilson: Deadpool, Cyclops, Jar Jar, and Marc Spector Moonknight are all new volumes out on Marvel. Over on DC's imprints we have have Sirens: Love Hurts on Black Label and Bleeding Hears on VERTIGO!!! (YAY! Welcome back!). On the independent front we've got The Center Holds on Boom, Just Brutal on Ignition Press, and The Thing on the Doorstep on Image comics.

This week had everything: Superheroes, deadites, Riverdale teenages, murderous bears, a planet full of apes, alien vampire babes, haunted dolls, and so on and so forth. Aside from our three crossovers we'll also discuss our picks of the week D'Orc and Ripcord!

We're nearing the end game in Oak Valley Maine! Join us as we recap and speculate about the loose ends of issue 9.
