Wrapping up our two-part KooKoo epic!

... and despite how boring it was, we do get some interesting character beats to discuss! Will Scott finally admit that he's got the hotpants for Jean Grey? Will Warren swoop in, Professor X-style, at the last moment to snag all the glory? And what of Jean's creepy co-ed, Ted Whatshisface? It's starting to get soapy up in here, and I'm diggin' it!

Also: The All-New X-Men Letters Page, Bullpen Bulletins, our own Mailbag, Shout-Outs, and much more (including an x-tended pre-ramble about how I spent my October Vacation)!

Is that idiot REALLY talking about Action Comics Weekly again?

Yes, I am! Welcome, folks to the preview episode of the Patreon-first Action Comics Daily Appendix, wherein I will be translating my year-long written trek through Action Comics Weekly into an audio format, with particular attention and care paid to the Letters Pages.

In this Frankenstein's Monster of a first episode, I introduce the concept, we discuss the Retailer Preview, and all of the first chapters from ACW #601. Plus, some relevant pro-mag ephemera from the long-ago, and a welcome missive from Senior Editor, Mike Gold!

I'd love to hear your thoughts on ACW as we work our way through!

Welcome to a new ongoing series here at the channel!

"... to the Choir" will be an issue-by-issue look at the legendary DC Comics/Vertigo series, Preacher! Join a Preacher newbie (Chris) and a Preacher veteran (Dave) as we kick off this exciting new project!

For this first episode, we will be talking about when we discovered the character, and what our initial impressions were. In addition to chatting up the entire first issue, we will also be diving into the pre-historic Internet reaction from back in the day, when we dip into the dicey ol' USENET BBS's!

We'd love to hear your thoughts on this title - as well as your thoughts on the "envelope pushing" within!

Shoes just keep on droppin' as we draw closer and closer to Inferno!

You remember that "dupe rule" we discuss like... all the time on the show? Well, this issue changes a lot of what we thought we knew about it. Only, will this turn out to be one of those situations wherein it's far easier to beg for forgiveness than ask for permission? Could we be witnessing the beginnings of a schism between The Five and the Quiet Council?

We'll ask questions like that... and many more - today!

Plus: Mailbag, Shout-Outs, and the June, 2021 sales charts (WITH actual #'s shipped!)
