It's time to return to the dollar bins! This felt like a week where we needed a fun topic, so Jessika went with "Heroes Being Goofy Goobers." Mike picked up Action Comics 560 for some Ambush Bug silliness, while Jessika went with Garth Ennis's absurd All Star Section Eight.

We're taking a mental health break (like many of you probably are) this week. As such, we're re-releasing one of our favorite episodes: Chuck Norris' Karate Kommandos.

This is one of our favorite episodes, and we hope it provides the distraction you need.

It's the episode Mike's wanted to record ever since we started the podcast! This week we're looking at Nightcat, Marvel's 1991 pop star who sings like she's straight out of 1986!

We're looking at both the comic and the album accompanying it, as well as talking about why the project might've failed to take off with fans.

In honor of Spooky Season™ officially arriving, we're looking at Planet of Vampires! This 1970s horror comic (initially written by Larry Hama!) aims to deliver a sinister dystopian story, but serves up something so-so.
