WCPEver Episode 598 - Visiting the New Clint's Comics

Jerry and John made a trip to Independence, Missouri, on Saturday to stop in at the new home for Clint's Comics. Located at 815 N. Noland Rd, it is just four miles north of I-70, which makes it easy to get to. Sharon is still getting the new store in order, so give her another week or two before you rush in to welcome her to the neighborhood. Netflix made like The Godfather and made an offer on Warner Brothers / Discovery that they could not refuse. Of course, we make mention of this because DC Comics has long been a part of Warner Bros. What does it mean to us? Will we be able to read comics on the same app that we are watching Stranger Things on? Will the next James Gunn Superman movie premiere first on streaming? Things are way too early in the process, so we can only speculate at this point. But trust us, to get nearly 600 episodes in the can, we must have been doing a lot of speculating along the way. We are just a few weeks away from our next WCPE Book Club read-along, which will be Fantastic Four: Unstable Molecules. Look for it in the app or find it in the dollar bins at your local comic shop. We have our weekly Pick 3 choices, sponsored by our friends at Clint's Comics, plus a look at last week's top ten books sold and a new trivia question.  We would love to hear your comments on the show. Let us know what you've been reading or watching this week. Contact us on our website, Facebook, Instagram, or by email. We want to hear from you! As always, we are the Worst. Comic. Podcast. EVER! and we hope you enjoy the show. The Worst. Comic. Podcast. EVER! is proudly sponsored by Clint's Comics, 815 N Noland Road in Independence, Missouri.

We are back with another WCPE Book Club selection this week with a newer mini-series from DC Comics. Join us as we discuss Robin: The Boy Wonder, written and drawn by creator Juni Ba. This 2023 series takes a closer look at Damien Wayne. It's hard enough to live in the shadow of Batman, but you are also in the shadows of Dick Grayson, Jason Todd, and Tim Drake. How does the newest Robin find his place in the Bat-Family? If you've given this series a read, leave us a comment with your thoughts.  Stick around for the end of the discussion so you can get the details for next month's Book Club selection, which is a Fantastic suggestion by Jerry.  We have our weekly Pick 3 choices, sponsored by our friends at Clint's Comics, plus a look at last week's top ten books sold, plus a book not listed that probably should have been.  We would love to hear your comments on the show.

We have made it to the last Wednesday of November. For many of us, we have a chance to slow down for a few days, rest, watch football, and as always read comic books.

Remember the classic holiday film Miracle on 34th Street? There's a point in the movie, after a suggestion by Kris Kringle, where the Macy's employees start instructing customers to go across the street to Gimbel's to purchase gifts at a better price. At first, management is flabbergasted by the suggestion, but then they realize the goodwill they are building with their customers. We reference this movie because last week, Marvel Unlimited sent out emails to its subscribers promoting DC Universe Infinite. At the same time, DC Universe Infinite sent out emails to its subscribers promoting Marvel Unlimited.

Welcome to the fourth WCPE Book Club! Where were you in the summer of 1984, when the Avengers packed their bags and headed out west? This month, we are traveling back to California with Volume 1 of West Coast Avengers! Written by Roger Stern with art by Bob Hall, West Coast Avengers has Hawkeye opening up a new branch of the team in Los Angeles, and recruiting Mockingbird, Iron Man, Tigra, and Wonder Man to join him at the Avengers estate along the coast. We are also introduced to the Blank (No worries if you don't remember him!), and we wrap it up with a battle against long-time Avengers foe, Graviton. Sitting in with us this month is friend-of-the-show Cade Streeter, who is slightly younger than the West Coast Avengers franchise.  We have our weekly Pick 3 choices, sponsored by our friends at Clint's Comics.  We would love to hear your comments on the show.

It's a fun week for our Pick 3 choices, as one of the books is hitting close to home this week. Or maybe stomping close to home. Be on the lookout today as Godzilla rolls into Kansas City looking to make his own burnt ends. Friendly reminder that we have our WCPE Book Club coming up next week! This month's selection is Volume 1 of West Coast Avengers from 1984. If you would like to join us on the show to discuss the early days of Hawkeye, Mockingbird, and the rest of the team.  Following the announcement of the return of Vertigo to DC Comics, the publisher clarified the differences between Vertigo and Black Label going forward. In a nutshell, one has Batman and one has Bateman.  We've got a new trivia question and a look at last week's top 10 books.  We would love to hear your comments on the show.

Cullen and Jerry each went to a local comic show this last weekend. In Portland, Cullen went to the Frankenstein Comic Swap in Portland on Saturday afternoon.

Then on the way back to Kansas, he made a stop at A to Z Comics in Blue Springs. Friendly reminder that we have our WCPE Book Club coming up in just 10 days.

As we recorded the episode this week, New York Comic Con was entering its final day, filled with all kinds of big reveals. Most surprising had to have been the sheer number of announcements coming from DC Comics, which in past years has used San Diego Comic Con as their "home" show to share their upcoming projects. In fact, Marvel Comics seemed to be quiet, but Marvel Studios had a lot to share.  Jerry was travelling this week and was dependent upon the hotel Wi-Fi. So apologies in advance for the quality of the show this week. Then again, we are the Worst.  We have our weekly Pick 3 choices, sponsored by our friends at Clint's Comics.

The next big event from DC Comics is DC KO, which stands for King Omega, even though the battle bracket might suggest Knock Out. Who will advance to the finals? Why are there so few villains involved? And who will make it to the finals? John and Jerry give a wrap-up of their weekend in Oklahoma at OAF Con and Speeding Bullet Comics.  We have our weekly Pick 3 choices, sponsored by our friends at Clint's Comics.
