New episode! Today, we're tackling Howard the Duck... not the character so much as infamous 1986 movie and Marvel's adaptation. We're talking about one of the strangest comic-book movies and if its tie-in comic improves on the source material. Spoiler: It doesn't. Listen anywhere but Spotify!

New episode! This week’s #DollarBinDiscovery theme is "High Octane!" Mike took a lap with Legends of NASCAR #6, bringing plenty of racing action and ’90s promotional energy, while Jessika dove into action-packed seas with Captain Nauticus & The Ocean Force. Listen anywhere but Spotify! #Comics

New episode! This week we're taking flight with our most niche comic yet, Engel: Pandoramicum. Originally designed to promote a German RPG, the comic expands one of the most fascinating tabletop settings of a fallen future with mixed results.  Listen anywhere but Spotify! #Comics #Podcast #Engel

So what’s everyone up to tonight?

One of my prized possessions is the Ravage 2099 that didn’t have foil applied. I also just sent off my Stan Lee-signed copy to PSA to get it graded

Oh, gross.

New episode! We're channeling Prismatic Power VERY different comics. Mike suffered through Judgement Day #1 while Jessika discovered adventure in Indiana Jones and the Spear of Destiny #4. One shines with pulpy energy. The other shines because of its foil cover. Listen anywhere but Spotify!

New episode! This week’s theme is "Ooey Gooey" and features different kinds of comic sludge. Jessika dove into Warriors of Plasm #1 for a puddle of alien weirdness, while Mike checked out Captain America #395 (“The House That Dripped Dough!”) Listen anywhere but Spotify!

This week, we’re jumping into light speed with Star Wars: Infinities, Dark Horse’s trilogy of “what if?” stories that remixed the original films. Join us as we explore how these comics spin the classic stories from a long time ago in a galaxy far away. Listen anywhere but Spotify! #StarWars

Not just a comic: A multimedia experience! Monsters Extreme is a comics/prose sequel to a 1959 B-movie and is "soundtrack enhanced." Someone seriously thought reading a comic needed to be complicated.

Lance Barnes: Post Nuke Dick is a post-apocalyptic noir parody that fully commits to the bit. It's basically Fallout mixed with hardboiled detective fiction... super chaotic and weird. #DollarBinDiscovery

Comedy comes in very different flavors this week, as our latest #DollarBinDiscovery theme is "Haha." Mike dug up Dead Clown #1 for the finest in edgelord humor, while Jessika cracked up with Funnytime Features #3. Listen anywhere but Spotify!

Wulf #1 brings back a ’70s barbarian for a modern reboot... nothing says "timeless" like swords, sorcery, and fighting with police. #DollarBinDiscovery

Kicking off #MiniComicMonday with Conan: Sons of Bel, a limited edition mini-comic that came with the Xbox 360 game. The developer was based right here in Novato (local barbarian representation matters).

May the Fourth be with all those who celebrate #maythe4thbewithyou #starwars #comicd

Thinking of @mattbegins.bsky.social here in the dollar bins

New grail acquired, just in time for #Maythe4th: The first comic appearance of Darth Maul. Is it “giving in” to the Dark Side when it’s your favorite Star Wars character?

For those of you in the Sonoma/Marin area: Help a lovely new comic shop in downtown Petaluma celebrate its first Free Comic Book Day!

Marvel Mangaverse #1 by Ben Dunn, creator of Areala: Warrior Nun (who doesn't show up here). Instead, it’s Marvel doing its best anime impression… with mixed results. #DollarBinDiscovery

New episode! Our latest deep dive looks at Mr. Monster: Origins from Dark Horse. A satirical throwback to Golden Age horror comics with a modern twist, it's an origin story that (mostly) works as a sendup to the genre it love. Listen anywhere but Spotify!

When NOW Comics got ahold of the Green Hornet, they leaned into its “classic” energy with a memoir-style story called “My Last Case” and a cover by Jim Steranko. #DollarBinDiscovery

Widely regarded as the worst Batman video game of all time, Dark Tomorrow received two promotional mini-comics. The second issue was packaged with the game and each platform came with a different cover. #MiniComicMonday

Babewatch #1: The cover that’s truly a time capsule. #DollarBinDiscovery

Between the chromium and the muscles, I’d like to remind everyone that 90s comics were all about minimal restraint.

New episode! This week’s theme is "Shapeshifters," where nothing stays the same for long. Mike rolled out with Transformers Generation 2 #1 for some classic robots-in-disguise action. Meanwhile, Jessika stepped into the chaos of Shade the Changing Man #1 (1990). Listen anywhere but Spotify!

This was so much fun to record! Also... I think I like Guy Gardner now?

Nothing says high-octane storytelling like a... *checks notes* NASCAR comic with a hologram sticker of a car slapped on the cover.

Remember the movie Running Scared? No? Well, its DVD received the only comic published by New Line Home Entertainment in 2007. #MiniComicMonday

Just give us another season of Phantom 2040, you cowards. gizmodo.com/hollywood-ha...

Proof that 90s comic collecting had zero chill. This is NOT a comic… it’s actually a sealed envelope full of laminated art cards. #Punisher #1990s

Signed? Check. Gold prismatic foil? Check. Questionable 90s excess? Big ol’ check. #DollarBinDiscovery

New episode! This week we're looking at Storm Hawks, a short-lived animated series and toyline from the late 2000s. We're looking at the mini-comic that came with its DVDs, as well as discussing what we've dubbed "Schrödinger's Comic." Listen anywhere but Spotify!

Feed me, Seymour… feed me weird licensed comics! DC’s Little Shop of Horrors adaptation is just as weird and fun as you’d hope. It *does* use the theatrical ending though. #DollarBinDiscovery

We have the best friends in show business. Thanks @tencenttakes.bsky.social  for this treasure box — Star Wars, Willow, both Spawn volumes, and the Fleischer Superman collection. That lenticular cover Spawn VHS is doing something to us. 📼✨ #SleepoverTradingCo #VHS #PhysicalMedia #BeKindRewind

Kicking off #minicomicmonday with Storm Hawks. It came bundled with the show’s first DVD… small comic, big “please watch our show” energy. Want to hear more? Check out our episode Wednesday!

Direct quote from my wife when she found this at an antique fair: "This title speaks to me."

New episode! This week’s #DollarBinDiscovery theme is Patriotic Personas. Mike checked out Taskmaster vol. 3 #3, with the villain going against South Korean superheroes. Jessika explored Captain Canuck Reborn #0, where a new hero wears the flag. Listen anywhere but Spotify!

@tencenttakes.bsky.social Look what I found at the shop I work at

Don’t send help.

I am haunted by overpriced ghosts of episodes past

New episode! This week’s #DollarBinDiscovery theme is Snacktastic, where comics and junk food collide in the most 90s way possible. Mike dug into Drake Snack Cakes Mini-Comics #1, while Jessika checked out the X-Men: Pizza Hut Collector’s Edition #1. Listen anywhere but Spotify! #Podcast #Marvel

Found a grail yesterday…

New episode! This week we're plugging into Cyborg! Based on the Jean-Claude Van Damme movie, Cannon video made this freebie to hype the movie's VHS release. The comic tries to make the movie seem cool, but neither comes out looking great. Listen anywhere but Spotify!

New episode! This week, we’re celebrating Women’s History Month with some “Wonderful Women” comics! Jessika checked out the indie sci-fi adventure The Adventures of Theown, while Mike read Xena: Warrior Princess: Bloodlines! Listen anywhere but Spotify!

New episode! This week we’re headed to the future with Trekker (1987), Ron Randall’s gritty sci-fi series. Spoiler: We loved this dystopian space opera series and its star, Mercy St. Clair. 

 Listen anywhere but Spotify! #Podcast #Comics #SciFi #1980s

The hardest pass on hearing about Chuck Dixon ever again.

New episode! This week’s #DollarBinDiscovery is "Heroception." Mike chose Fantastic Four vol. 3 #60 for one of the best stories he ever read about Marvel’s First Family. Meanwhile, Jessika read Radioactive Man #679 for a multiverse story about Springfield’s superhero. Listen anywhere but Spotify!
