Oh, Wisconsin. These two screenshots are 171 days apart. I'm posting this so that 171 days from now (early January,) I will stop complaining about the weather. 😁

Week 28 of the revamped and relaunched Spinner Rack of Random Comic Book Readin' was about celebrating a 250th birthday, spending time with family, and comics. 🙂

I am a fan of the Wasp and this era of Marvel Team-Up. This episode featuring Siskoid and Shagg spotlights a fun issue by Claremont and Byrne. Check it out! @fwpodcasts.bsky.social

Treasury Thursday. This one contains the wedding of Saturn Girl and Lightning Lad by Levitz and Grell, but it also has the Origins and Powers of the Legionnaires, which taught me a lot and made me a fan for life. Long Live the Legion!

Combining one of my favorite super-hero teams with one of my favorite podcasts featuring Paul Kien and Shagg. This episode of DC SpecialCast truly is special! (And the Monthly Planet feature is a blast, too!) @fwpodcasts.bsky.social @dcspecialcast.bsky.social @themonthlyplanet.bsky.social

We went camping and had our first softball game, but nothing was more special during Week 27 of the revamped and relaunched Spinner Rack of Random Comic Book Readin' than two awesome Wonderland performances. ❤️

Nothing says the 4th of July like a blue-colored banana daiquiri! 😁 Enjoy this episode with Brett Young and Doug Adamson while grilling out with your family. Cheers! @fwpodcasts.bsky.social @imagine8design.bsky.social

It wouldn't be the 4th of July, if I didn't post the Who's Who image of one of my favorite themed comic book teams. 🙂

Treasury Thursday. These two seem perfect for this week in honor of the U.S. Semiquincentennial. Full disclosure: I don't actually own the Cap one, which is a surprise even to me. Fuller disclosure: the Superman one is a must-have for Tomahawk fans! 🙂

Happy Canada Day! 🍁

Week 26 of the revamped and relaunched Spinner Rack of Random Comic Book Readin' was all about the drama. The good kind! 🙂

Today is my dad's birthday. Robert Joseph Steib would have been 97 years old. He was 10 pounds of foolishness in a 5 pound bag. 🙂 Hi-Guy was a lot of things to a lot of people, but to this crew, he was simply Dad (or Pop. 😉)

Just in time for the movie, Rob Kelly and Superfan, Dr. Anj, create the Supergirl Treasury that should have happened, but didn't. Who knows? Maybe DC will take the hint after listening to this episode! @fwpodcasts.bsky.social

Treasury Thursday. I got this one at a five and dime store (maybe Ben Franklin) when on a rare sleepover at my grandma's. I was roughly 7 years old. I even cut off the back cover to create the "3-D Diorama Cut Out!" 🙂

This book was a Father's Day gift from my son. I guess he knows me pretty well. 🙂

A new episode of JSA in the 90's featuring Shagg and J David Weter talking about Hawkman? The perfect gift for Father's Day! @fwpodcasts.bsky.social @jsapresents.bsky.social

Even though the school year had ended, we still had a week of outdoor summer school during Week 25 of the revamped and relaunched Spinner Rack of Random Comic Book Readin'. Luckily, I also had a favorite series to revisit.

Enjoying coffee and the Fire and Water Network on my first day of summer break. This episode features Shagg and Jason Lady talking about a whole bunch of X-Men comics. Check it out! @fwpodcasts.bsky.social @onceuponageek.bsky.social

We wrapped up our week of summer school today, so guess what time it is. Take it away, Mr. Mustaine.

Treasury Thursday. This one reprints Amazing Spider-Man #100 to 102 and features Peter Parker growing four more arms! It really freaked out nine year old me. 😲 I also found the Not Brand Echh reprint that was included charming and hilarious.

Happy 616 Day, True Believers! 🙂 @marvel616.bsky.social

Another comic I read and reread as a kid. This team-up episode featuring Siskoid and Bass spotlights Superman and the Legion of the Super-Heroes. Long Live the Legion! @fwpodcasts.bsky.social

Week 24 of the revamped and relaunched Spinner Rack of Random Comic Book Readin' had a birthday party, a graduation party, plenty of time spent working on report cards, and the all-important last day of school.

The Supergirl movie premieres on June 26th! This episode of one of my favorite podcasts by Paul Kien and Dr. Anj looks back on this classic Supergirl special. It's a super fun listen and perfect for the Summer of Supergirl! @fwpodcasts.bsky.social @dcspecialcast.bsky.social

Treasury Thursday. Nothing better than a cover where the good guys and the bad guys are running toward each other! 🙂

I've been so busy shamelessly promoting my latest podcast on the Fire and Water Network that I forgot to tell everyone to stop and listen to this interview with Chuck "JL of A" Patton with Rob and Shagg! Such a great listen! @fwpodcasts.bsky.social

An end of the school year field trip, a Color Run, makeup swim lessons, and so much more filled the days of Week 23 of the revamped and relaunched Spinner Rack of Random Comic Book Readin'. Luckily, I was able to squeeze in some comics!

Eagleville Color Run 2026. Before and After. 🙂🏳️‍🌈😁

Treasury Thursday. I had a mini "poster" of this cover hanging on my bedroom wall when I was a kid. It permanently lives in my brain when I think about the FF. And, that back cover is phenomenal!

What did you do at work today? 😁

Week 22 of the revamped and relaunched Spinner Rack of Random Comic Book Readin' featured intercompany crossovers, first softball practice, and another podcast debut, but nothing was more important than a birthday for a very special someone. ❤️

They say the third time's a charm, but they also say bad luck comes in threes. 🙂 Regardless, here is my third podcast on the Fire & Water Network featuring Brett Young and I talking about the Beast and a really great Avengers comic! @fwpodcasts.bsky.social @imagine8design.bsky.social

Treasury Thursday. One of the best things eight year old me ever purchased for a dollar. Love this one so much.

Taking time to record another fun comic book podcast (Coming soon!) during Week 21 of the revamped and relaunched Spinner Rack of Random Comic Book Readin', but still finding time to read comics. 🙂

An awesome interview by Shagg featuring two fantastic creators, Matt Wagner and John K. Snyder III, talking about Doctor Mid-Nite, an excellent character and mini-series. Enjoy! @fwpodcasts.bsky.social @jsapresents.bsky.social

Treasury Thursday. This is more than likely the first tabloid sized comic I ever bought. Just look at that cover. How could I not?

We had Alice in Wonderland, Mother's Day, Olympic Day, and more during Week 20 of the revamped and relaunched Spinner Rack of Random Comic Book Readin'.

Sundays are perfect for teaming up. Check out this episode of FW Team-Up where Siskoid and Ryan Daly discuss the Thing and Modred the Mystic from Marvel Two-in-One #33. @fwpodcasts.bsky.social

Say, You looking for something to listen to on this Saturday morning? Chris and Cindy Franklin have another JSA Presents episode of Mr. & Mrs. Superman featuring Johnny Thunder & his Thunderbolt! Badhnisian fun! @fwpodcasts.bsky.social @jsapresents.bsky.social

Anthrax is releasing their first new album in over a decade this September. Here is their first single called "It's For the Kids." In other words, here is Anthrax reminding me why I love Anthrax. 🤘❤️🤘

It's Treasury Thursday (and, yes, I know the DC ones were not called Treasury editions, but I love alliteration!) I found this beauty at a Half Price Books a few days ago. I'm trying to decide which cover I love more, and I'm thinking it's the back one! 😁

It's already been a long week (and it's only Tuesday,) but the perfect remedy is a new episode of one of my favorite podcasts. Paul Kien and David Steel bring you the 3 Musketeers, Robin Hood, and more! Plus, the debut of the Monthly Planet! @fwpodcasts.bsky.social @dcspecialcast.bsky.social

Week 19 of the revamped and relaunched Spinner Rack of Random Comic Book Readin' kicked off the month of May and included Free Comic Book Day and a bowling themed family birthday party. Plus comics. 🙂

Spend your Saturday with Siskoid and Chris Franklin plus two guys with "Bat" and "Man" in their names spotlighting Brave and the Bold #119. @fwpodcasts.bsky.social

It's Teacher Appreciation Week and I received this from a student today. Don't get me wrong, the Amazon card is appreciated, but I was really stoked that they got me an Iron Man #99! ❤️

As Obi-Wan Kenobi said to Luke Skywalker in Star Wars, "Mos Eisley spaceport. You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy." Check out this motley crew. 😁 May the Fourth Be With You! ❤️

Since today is "May the Fourth," it's the perfect opportunity to check out Shagg and Rob discussing Star Wars #49 featuring art by Walt Simonson! @fwpodcasts.bsky.social @empiretojedi.bsky.social

Week 18 of the revamped and relaunched Spinner Rack of Random Comic Book Readin' was another challenging week, to be honest, but there were also some highlights like our favorite actor's pirate performance on stage.

It's Free Comic Book Day! Click this link. Use the locator to find a comic book store near you and stop by today! www.freecomicbookday.com

It's Friday! It's the perfect time to kick back and listen to an episode of one of my favorite shows featuring Brett Young and Dr. Anj featuring the "5 Years Later" Legion! @fwpodcasts.bsky.social @imagine8design.bsky.social
