Podcasts about first issue club

On today's episode, Will Mercier of ROH Revelery returns to talk comic books with Eric. Will and Eric discuss some of their favorite writers and series and fears of going to venues with large crowds for comic conventions. We also shout out our pals First Issue Club who do a great job dissecting comics weekly. As always we're sponsored by Visionaries Global Media, under Nattering With E, where you can find this and plenty of other Nattering Shows.

This week on the First Issue Club, we dive into three incredible topics perfect for comic book fans! First, we review Long Cold Winter from Mad Cave Studios—a gritty noir thriller set in a dystopian future that's sure to chill you to the bone. Then, we deck the halls with horror as we explore Dread the Halls from Image Comics, a spine-tingling festive fright. Finally, we break down the savings and perks of Marvel Unlimited—can this subscription service fuel your comic book obsession without breaking the bank? Tune in for our take on these must-read releases and discover how to make the most of your comic book budget!

This week on The Oblivion Bar Podcast, we are bringing back a fan-favorite segment: our Comic Creator Fantasy Draft 

This week on First Issue Club we're Vargasless, but we must persevere. On the bright side, DC comics is making sure we have something to talk about this week! We get into first issues of Absolute Superman, and Batgirl before learning about Kelly Sue DeConnick's indie offering on Darkhorse called FML! In the [comic book] news: More Joker screen time coming our way, who might be on the newly announced Young Avengers title, more AI in comics, and candy!

This week we talk about the clear headliner... DC is ALL IN on Absolute Batman, but how does the First Issue Club feel?! We also read Sentinels on Marvel, Toxic Avenger on Ahoy, Terminator on Dynamite, and The Body Trade on Mad Cave.  In the news we'll talk about rumors swirling around a "new" Batman creative team, the resurrection of Youngbloods on Image, Joker 2 box office woes, and Supermans love life. 

Big, bulky, and boisterous... A F.I.C episode like none before it. Greg and Andy are joined by Chris Hacker (The Oblivion Bar podcast) and Badr Milligan (The Short Box podcast) for an incredibly special and rowdy episode of the First Issue Club. Chris and Badr have been longtime friends of ours IN ADDITION to being massive influences and voices in the comic book podcasting community. A crossover that has been a longtime in the making and will go down in FIC history as one of our best shows. The Comic Gentlemen discuss the end of the Krakoan Age (2016-2024) and the impact it had in comic books and beyond, Petrol Head by Pye Parr and Rob Williams from Image Comics is optioned to become either a movie/TV show, Steve Orlando is penning a new Avenger's series over at Marvel with the most head-scratching lineup featuring Club favorite Night-Thrasher, and finally we discuss how a steamy Star Wars parody comic is making massive waves in the community and may have gotten itself in hot water...

These conversations include topics like Tom King writing an Archie comic, an upcoming Avengers/Ultraman crossover mini, the impending return of the Green Goblin in the pages of Amazing Spider-man, and wether or not Jean, Logan, and Scott were ever really in a throuple during the Krakoan era of X-Men.  After the yackin', Greg walks us through the Blood Hunt tie-in Union Jack the Ripper from Marvel Comics, and the eerie indie Butchers Boy out on Darkhorse Comics.  Hop over to our Patreon for this weeks bonus where we talk first appearances and lucky finds.

On todays episode, we're talking DWJ's Extremity Kick Starter, a marvel movie and show headline recap, and a wider release coming for the DC character parody film The Peoples Joker. After working our way past the headlines, we get into the reading club! How does Peach Momokos take on mutants differ from mainline comics the massive new title, Ultimate X-Men? What's up with this odd sized Image Comic you picked up called The Last Mermaid? What would've happened if Carter Burke had survived in 1986's Aliens? (We find out in What if... Aliens?, which was penned along with Paul Rieser). Does Chris Condon have another hit on his hands with his comic adaptation of Bary Gifford's Night People? And the last question we'll ask ourselves today is will Keezy Young's Sun Flowers teach you something new about what its like to live with Bipolar disorder? Alllll these answers and more... in this weeks First Issue Club!

This weeks First Issue Club is all about comic book news! It was a heavy week for announcements, controverseys, and factoids. If you dare press play, you'll hear about the Cadence Comic Art exodus, the hobby of collecting art, the El Muerto movie moving forward without its star Bad Bunny, the state of the super hero movie, Rob Liefeld retiring from Deadpool, Black Panther Unlimited having 12,000 copies go missing, AND MORE! Thats about 40-45 minutes worth of news before we get to comics, so if you wanna head straight to the reading club, skip ahead to somewhere in that range. 

Ha-Cha-Cha! It's another episode of the First Issue Club. This episode Vargas, Mike, & Greg immeditaley get off track talking about the Dice-Man, and Morgan Wallen (I think the throughline being cancellable people who were controversally on SNL). Then, we're getting to comics with a quick chat about Marvel Comic's The Hood before we cover our first issues, speaking of which: Greg talks us through Sean Gordon Murphy's Zorro, and Jonathan Hickman's Ultimate Spider-Man. Andy goes back a week to cover the books we missed over the New Year (due to our best of episode...

First Issue Club looks into the crystal ball for another years end, to gaze upon the possibities the next year holds. We'll be speculating on trends in comics including stuff like AI, Crowdfunding, Representation, Digital Comics, Grading, and much more!  We'll see ya next year for our best of 2023 episode. Thanks for listening and supporting FIC for another year!

Welcome back, comic book enthusiasts and casual readers alike! In today's episode, we delve into the captivating world of graphic novels with a focus on a groundbreaking new title that's creating waves for its daring and poignant representation. We're thrilled to discuss the launch of an innovative comic book, Holy Roller, featuring a Jewish protagonist who courageously returns to his hometown. The once-familiar streets are now overshadowed by the rise of anti-Semitism, a real-world issue that is boldly tackled within the panels of this daring narrative. We're genuinely excited about the potential for this comic to become a staple in the industry. With a strong narrative and a creative team that's committed to authenticity and depth, this comic book is poised to leave a lasting mark on the genre. In a landscape often dominated by conventional heroes, the emergence of a Jewish superhero is a significant step forward for diversity and representation in mainstream comics. This protagonist is not only a figure of strength and resilience but also a symbol of cultural identity and pride. Recommended Read: “Lotus Land” Despite some criticisms regarding its depiction of future technology, “Lotus Land” is recommended as a cohesive and immersive detective story set in a well-constructed futuristic world. Listeners are encouraged to explore this tale for its unique take on the genre. As we wrap up today's enlightening discussion, we extend an invitation to our listeners to join us again for more engaging talks on the latest and greatest in the comic book scene. Whether you're a lifelong fan or new to the medium, there's always something exciting to discover. Remember to tune in next time for another deep dive into the stories that challenge, entertain, and inspire us. Until then, keep turning those pages and exploring the universes hidden within!

Tune in and find out. A little info about our Patreon… Introduction! Hello! If you're reading this, then you've already taken a step in the right direction to gain access to the world's most midwestern-y, exclusive-y, Patreon podcast about comic books: First Issue Club Patreon: Comic Talks! With your monthly contribution, you gain entry to the raw, unfiltered, peek behind the curtain you've been craving. No longer are we held back by the constraints of first issues and things related to first issues. You can hear our piping hot takes on comic books and the comic community at large - the good, bad, & the completely unsolicited. This is the place where we can let our freak flag fly with the most dedicated and passionate fans of F.I.C. It's been an honor getting to know all of you and sharing in the experience of the medium we all love to scream about. We can't thank you enough. Why Pay? Great question. You'd be a fool not to ask that question, and we don't want fools as Patreon Members. The fact of the matter is, making and producing a show to our standards of quality isn't cheap, but you, dear discerning listener, deserve it, damnit. You wouldn't buy a crumpled comic book, would you? So why would you listen to a podcast that sounds like it's been recorded in a tin can? Your monthly contribution enables us to keep up quality control while also investing in new ways to engage with you through merch and events. Our Final Appeal. You've made it this far. So, here's the final push. We love comic books. We've loved them ever since we were kids. They provide distraction, escape, sense of belonging, sense of something bigger than ourselves, & of course something to argue endlessly about. Comics consume us so much that we have now made three separate shows about them and somehow still have more to talk about. We'd love for you to join us. Hope to see you inside! OTHER TOPICS! Patreon.

CHEERS AND JEERS IT'S FIC IN YOUR EARS!!!   Tis the season for obligitory holiday episodes from your favorite podcasts, and First Issue Club is no different. Although we wish we were your favorite podcast - we get it. The Club gets together one last time before the year ends. No real direction here, just a couple of friends sitting around a crackling fire and talking about the things they love the most; comic books. Mike is talks about his love for the CLZ app, Greg shares Aftershock woes and MCU rumors, and Andy displays his vast knowledge of random comic book facts. It was a festive time to be sure.   Thank you for an amazing 2022 and we're excited to see what 2023 has in store.   Bye, or whatever.

NEWS!   Greg and Andy were lucky enough to interview the incredibly talented writer, Kyle Starks. You're probably very familiar with Kyle's previous books: Sex Castle, The 6 Sidekicks of Trigger Keaton, I Hate This Place, and Rock Candy Mountain. On this episode Kyle discusses his newest book, Where Monsters Lie, published by Dark Horse on February 1st. We get into what spurred the idea for this series about a gated community for slasher monsters to recoup after their latest kill and begin to plot their next victim(s). Kyle also gave us a peek inside his writing process and made us wonder ‘Where does the guy from Saw go to buy all his supplies and why did no one connect the dots when he rented that warehouse?' There's still time to head to your local comic shop or favorite online retailer and DEMAND that they pre-order this book for you so that you can experience the gruesomely good time that is, Where Monsters Lie! For MORE Kyle Starks goodness be sure to visit kylestarks.com and @thekylestarks on Twitter and Instagram.   WHERE MONSTERS LIE #1 Haven't you always wondered what slasher monsters--the masked home invasion family, the mindless unkillable monster, the serial killer trapped in a doll--what they do for those couple of years in-between their murder sprees? They're at Wilmhurst--a gated community in the middle of nowhere where they relax--or try to--until they get the call to go out and kill again.   Connor Hayes survived his first slasher in summer camp. A handful of years later he barely escaped a psychopath who built torture puzzles for his victims. Since then he's been training and planning for running into these creatures again. He's a respected special agent, and now he knows where the monsters lie and he's planning for war.
