Ten Cent Takes

Sunday night sorting.

It’s raining. Time to sit down and re-read one of the first comics I ever bought as a kid (but recently found again in the dollar bins).

New episode! Today we're checking out Marvel’s Earthworm Jim, which has no right being as good as it is. Considering how wild the source material is, it's a miracle that Marvel in 1995 managed to capture the crazy humor of the video game.

Uhhhhh is that a digital comic? Because I can’t find it in CLZ. I do own this, though

You learn something new every day!

New episode! This week’s #DollarBinDiscovery theme is “feeling green,” so we dredged up cash and cackling villains. Jessika read 1st Issue Special #2 to meet the Green Team—a squad of kid millionaires—while Mike took on Green Goblin #1 for a dose of cackling chaos.

Well. We’re going to a con on Saturday.

So, last night.

Just got served an ad for that Melania movie and I’ve never been more ashamed of my algorithm

New episode! Today we’re checking out M. Rex, the two-issue oddity that inspired Generator Rex (and somehow predicted Pride & Prejudice & Zombies). The series may have been short-lived, but it had an outsized pop-culture legacy.

Biased towards Psi Force after our @fabiannicieza.bsky.social interview

An important update after a weekend of new floors and bookshelves.

New episode! This week’s #DollarBinDiscovery is all about Double Trouble: That means it's 2X the fun and 2X the chaos. Mike spun into Web of Spider-Man #117 while Jessika read the wonderfully weird Dragonfly and Dragon Man. When comics double up, things get stranger.

You have a basement?! Lucky.

There’s… uh. There’s a lot.

We’re reflooring our bedroom, which means taking down the bookshelves. These are half of our graphic novels

Anyway, our shelves are empty now and I wanna buy more books.

Some days, you find yourself taking your life into your own hands to buy a coffin shelf for your wife off Facebook Marketplace. Then you find yourself filling it with all your wedding centerpieces.

Anyway.

New episode! This week we're reading The Girl in the Bay, a supernatural drama about lost time, second chances, and the unsettling idea of someone else living your life.

It’s a moody, introspective story about identity, grief, and new beginnings. Listen anywhere but Spotify!

Jesus Christ, Frank. Calm down.

This week’s Dollar Bin Discovery takes flight with "Things With Wings." 

Mike cracked open SilverHawks #1 and got in touch with his inner space cop, while Jessika checked out a winged menace in Rune #1. Listen anywhere but Spotify!

Today’s reading. A better title would’ve been “What If Star Wars Was Written By Edgelords”

Don’t send help. I’m exactly where I want to be.

Made it by the skin of my teeth.

This week we're unwrapping Within Our Reach, the early ’90s holiday benefit anthology. The book features a mix of superheroes and social causes into one seasonal package. Festive, earnest, and unexpectedly weird in turns, it’s a holiday special worth reading.

Today’s reading.

There’s something wonderful about realizing people held and loved the same book you’re looking at now, years ago and thousands of miles away.

This Bravura #0 variant is so hard-to-find it's practically a cryptid. You could mail away for the regular and gold editions, but this was the premium retailer incentive.

Genuinely stunned at how hard my family went with the gifts this year. Murray Chrysler, everyone.
