Welcome back to the Worst. Comic. Podcast. EVER! The great thing about doing this podcast with your friends is that we have something to look forward to each week with our recording sessions. Sometimes, we get the recording done in an hour and we are on our way. And sometimes, we re-do half of the episode because we didn't realize the recording had stopped. Anyway, we hope that our podcast is some...

We're back!  Not that we weren't going to come back, but the conversation had to be held - what do we do after episode 300? How do we top that or improve on that or even just do another show ever again? But we looked at the news of the week - NO NEW COMICS ON WEDNESDAY - and we rose to the challenge. Can we talk about comics for an hour without any new product? The answer is YES! Of course, with n...

LIVE from Kansas City and Portland, It's the WORST. COMIC. PODCAST. EVER! Episode 300 show! Seriously, when we started this show back in 2014, the thought that we would do this for at least 300 episodes had not crossed our minds. We'll do it for a little bit until we got bored, or it became too much like work. Along the way, some of you started listening. Then more of you started listening. And we...

So, since we were last gathered together, the world as we know it turned upside down and inside out. Planet Comicon this weekend? Nope, scratch that, let's push that out to August 14-16. Kids going back to school next week? Nope, scratch that, let's push that out to August, too. We got a lot of thoughts bouncing around in our heads right now, and we spend most of the time working through them. We...

We are counting down the days when we can see our friends at Planet Comicon in Kansas City, but before that, we have another con to tell you about.  With the postponement of Emerald City Comic Con in Seattle, originally scheduled for March 12-15, the comic community in the Pacific Northwest was left wondering what to do next? For many creators and vendors, they were counting on ECCC as a source of...

Welcome to the Jungle! As in the Checkerboard Jungle! We've got a special show lined up this week, as John and Jerry sit down to talk with comic creator Mark McKenna about his new Kickstarter project, Banana Tail and the Checkerboard Jungle . If you came of age reading comics in the 1980s or 1990s, the odds are extremely high that you read a book that McKenna worked on. Marvel, DC, Dark Horse and...

We must say - this was a good week to be in the business of talking comics. Last Wednesday saw the release of Batman #89, which skyrocketed in price before it could even go on sale in some stores. That was followed on Friday by DC letting Dan DIDio go in a surprising but not unexpected move. Just like that, we have a full episode worth of topics to discuss. Throw in our Pick 3 choices for the week...

It was a busy Sunday evening for the Worst. Comic. Podcast. EVER! John and Jerry took in a showing of Harley Quinn: Birds of Prey before heading to the studio to record the show.

We discuss the launch of Bad Idea , a new publishing venture that will put their comics in a limited number of stores to sta...

So we got some bad news and good news for you this week. Let's start with the bad news first - there will be no new WCPE podcast this Friday. We know, we know, we're all creatures of habit, and not having that show on Friday morning is going to leave a gap in our listening schedule going into the weekend. But here is the good news - THE PODCAST IS NOW COMING OUT ON WEDNESDAYS! Seriously, here is i...

While Cullen was getting things ready this week for Wizard World Portland, John and Jerry decided to talk Star Trek . Sure, we could have discussed it ourselves and put out a decent podcast, but what if we talk to some guys who know Star Trek ? Like really know the shows and the characters and the merchandising inside and out? So sit back and enjoy our conversation with Kansas City-based authors D...

We find ourselves halfway through January now and assume that the new year's resolutions you made may have fallen by the wayside. Never fear though, for the Worst. Comic. Podcast.

Welcome to 2020! The Worst. Comic. Podcast. EVER! guys are back from the Star Wars holiday with a lot of catching up to do. And you get to sit back and take it all in. Obviously, the big discussion is with Star Wars Episode Nine: The Rise of Skywalker. This movie brought to a conclusion the story that has been 42 years in the making. We laughed, we cried, and (because I can finally make a joke tha...

So what's everyone doing this weekend? Going to see a movie? If we could make a suggestion for you, we think that the Star Wars Episode Nine: The Rise of Skywalker  movie opening today might be a big hit. Of course, it's going to be a huge hit. Probably the largest film of 2019, and that's saying a lot considering it only has 11 days to work with to top Avengers: Endgame . We know many of you will...

What a week! Jerry is out so John and Cullen are left to plow through a metric ton of nerd content. Comics? Check. Movies? Check. Television? Check. Here is a breakdown of the topics we cover on the show; Clint's Pick 3 Far Sector #2 and Superman #18  Wonder Woman trailer (WW84) Episode 2 of Harley Quinn The first three episodes of Crisis On Infinite Earths Watchmen News regarding Marvel Televisio...
