First Issue Club Comic Books

It's a Mad Cave Studios double feature show! Greg read Sunder and Momo and liked them both, so he's going to talk to you about them. Mike read Spider-man 1000, and Amazing Venom 1, and then we all read Aliens v X-Men, but we're barred from talking about it until Vargas has a chance to say his piece (Oh yeah, Vargas is out this week).

Set your phasers to FUN! This week Mike tries to convice the guys they don't want to get into DNX, but they won't listen, so he tries to explain it. In comics we talk about Muppets Take the Marvel Universe, the new Cantwell Star Trek, an Escape from NY comic that takes place in Chicago, and Crimes Against Nature - which seems to be our pick of the week?  

It's a catch-up week on F.I.C! We missed last week so we're talking about two weeks wortha issues. THEY INCLUDE: Fox Mask Killer, Ofiusa, Creepshow, Spawn 77, Six of Us, Karman Blade, Forever Home, The Folk of Dooney Hollow, and Fixation. WHEW! In the news we mostly talk about Marvel Miracle Man stuff.

Out on Image we'll talk about Jeff Lemires Crowbound, and Steve Skroces Tales of Wonder. Warbird on Bad Idea comes from a fun group of Ve...

Comics! Would it surprise you to hear there are several new ones this week? It shouldn't! Every week is host to a plethora of new narratives to dive into so why should this one be any different? We've got a set of fun ones (see the title!), plus we'll touch on Dread the Hall H 2026 - the comic to scare you about con crud and more ahead of SDCC.

I THINK we also might cover that John Carpenter book Night Terrors? I can't believe it's something Vargas would miss - but I had too much SPACE CAMPER so it's difficult to remembe...

Concrete headlines our show - its a classic returning after 20 years! One of Gregs personal favorites, and we're excited to hear his take as a fan, and Vargas's take as a newcomer.
