Now, this is a heckuva way to kick off the new year. Brad Meltzer joins us for an excited celebration of comics.

We are 14 people away from 2K subscribers on our YouTube channel. Can we get there before we launch season 2 of #InTheStacks next month? youtu.be/DUmK7TxulVo?...

Our Brad Meltzer Episode drops tomorrow, but the book's out now.

I know! I know!

a HUGE honor! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Up next on my 2026 Stephen King re-read. 'Salem's Lot, 1999 mass market paperback edition. Found at McKays in Manassas this afternoon.

It's just nice to steal one from Hollywood for a change.

He's just a li'l guy.

I love these people.

Delicious😈

Just finished Two-Face by @cjward.bsky.social & @fverasart.bsky.social — and yeah, I get the hype. A smart, character-first take on Harvey Dent that really leans into the tragedy and psychology of the character. Quietly excellent. Great rec @cbccpodcast.bsky.social ! #ComicSky #DCComics #TwoFace

You *need* to read OUT OF ALCATRAZ by @ifyoucantwell.bsky.social and @mrtylercrook.bsky.social from @oni-press.bsky.social. You know who agrees? @patrickhorvath.bsky.social. Listen to the best of the year rundown over at @cbccpodcast.bsky.social. www.comicbookcouplescounseling.com/post/the-sta...

Morning reading preparing myself for today’s book club with @cbccpodcast.bsky.social

I kept hearing about ARMORED & DROME from @cbccpodcast.bsky.social (have you listened to the Stampies episodes yet?) and @byrononeal.com so tracked these down in 2 different bookstores. I’m going to escape into some comics today. @comicbookyeti.com @mouthdork.bsky.social @sidewalksiren.bsky.social

"Momma...You can't stop me." #NowWatching

Carrie, complete. (sad) 'Salem's Lot next.

"(please let it be a happy ending)" On page 124. Carrie by Stephen King.

Our first Comic Book Club of 2026 is tomorrow. Hope to see you there.

Well, this is cool. Another Brad on the podcast...

I friggin love these two and the energy they bring to the medium comics. Thank you @sidewalksiren.bsky.social and @mouthdork.bsky.social for another wonderful year and more books to add to my never ending, ever growing list!

My Stephen King 2026 chronological re-read project begins now. "Nobody was really surprised when it happened, not really, not at the subconscious level where savage things grow."

Here we go! Our final 2025 episode, celebrating the very best comics we gobbled up this year. Yeah, cheating was required to cram even more books in. Also, we invited a bunch of extra cool cats to contribute their picks. Lisa and I hope you enjoy the show. Please share & let us know what you think.

So much life happened in & out of these podcast milestones. Happy New Year, everyone.

One of the things I was most proud of in 2025 was participating in the Save PGCTV Campaign. I love this crew. I love this neighborhood. Grateful to see Community Television surviving.

Gonna have a Super start for 2026.

2025 was my first year as a Letterboxd patron. I'm loving these stats, especially featuring the Movies I rated higher than the average user. I love me and my flawless taste.

We read a lot of comics this year. Too many great ones to jam into just one episode. So, we broke up #TheStampies award show into two episodes. Yay! Listen to Part One on your fave podcast app or just click🔗🧵⬇️

With a little help from our friends, we celebrate the Best Comics of 2025, and there were too many good comics for just one episode. Welcome to The Stampies (Part One): www.comicbookcouplescounseling.com/post/the-sta...

It’s my birthday! Feel free to give me compliments!

Happy Birthday, Lisa!!!

I did a terrible job watching new old movies this year. Must be better next year. letterboxd.com/mouthdork/li...

Find yourself a partner who will go holiday shopping with you in a Judge Death Xmas Jumper.

Daredevil #5 (1964). First Wally Wood Daredevil. Picked up at Wonder Con.

Such a great episode. 2025 was a great year for comics. @sidewalksiren.bsky.social saying reading really sad comics like Everything Dead & Dying by @tatebrombal.bsky.social & @thatjacobphillips.bsky.social changes the weather of your heart got me. Go listen then go read some great comics.

We named ABSOLUTE MARTIAN MANHUNTER by @denizcamp.bsky.social, @javierrodriguez.bsky.social, & Hassan Otsmane-Elhaou, & published by DC Comics, as one of Best Comics of 2025. Listen to #TheStampies (Part One) to hear our other faves from the year: cbccpodcast.podbean.com/e/the-stampi...

We named the "Untitled" story from ABSOLUTE BATMAN ANNUAL #1 by @danielwarrenart.bsky.social, Mike Spicer, & Clayton Cowles, & published by DC Comics, as one of the Best Comics of 2025. Listen to #TheStampies (Part One) to hear our other faves from the year: cbccpodcast.podbean.com/e/the-stampi...

You're only allowed to watch one Christmas movie this season. What do you watch?

As I say during the intro of this episode, every year is a good year for comics. You just got to go out there and read them.

🎯

Big shout out to the Oblivion Bar podcast boys and @patrickhorvath.bsky.social for picking Event Horizon : Dark Descent as one of their best comics of the year.

The Stampies are here! ❤️

I can't wait to announce our first episode of 2026.

🎉New Episode🎉 #TheStampies: Best Comics of 2025 (Part 1) w/guest-stars from across the industry - @eamonwinkle.bsky.social, @heyitsjennalynn.bsky.social, @sktchd.bsky.social, @patrickhorvath.bsky.social & more! Awards Sponsored by @globalcomix.com. www.comicbookcouplescounseling.com/post/the-sta...

I was asked by @cbccpodcast.bsky.social to discuss my fav comic of 2025. Without hesitation, I gushed over Syzygy's (@imagecomics.com) 'Dread the Hall H,' led by @chrisryall.bsky.social & Jordan Hart & featuring art by @chrisacomics.bsky.social, Maria Wolf, @jimmykucajart.bsky.social, & more!

Digger. I'm ready.

I can't believe it's already time for #TheStampies. Always so fun to put these episodes together & we're patiently awaiting the arrival of these physical awards this year so we can give them to the winners. (If they even want them)

Bringing a sack of empanadas to my folks' 50th celebration.

Happy 50th Anniversary to my folks, Gregg & Denise! Met in England when my Dad was in an exchange program with the Royal Navy. Knew each other only a few months before engagement. Had one kid (me) & suffered decades of Star Wars trivia as a result.

EVERYTHING DEAD & DYING #4 is out today from @imagecomics.com with this beautiful @tozo.today cover!

Wrote about comics, music, and being a son, sparked by a short read from a talented creator. I ended up buying that new Dylan project on record store day recently because of Oshimi’s work. good art often leads to more art, whether im making it or taking it in.
