There were technical difficulties with this episode, so we weren’t able to post it last week. Joe regrets the error.

Every Month, we find out what comics are coming out in three months, and that is in the catalog Previews. Cory!! and Joe go through it every month and point out the cool new stuff so that YOU can put it in your comic order! They also discuss comics history, stuff that looks fun and endless shenanigans.

Sometimes you have topics and then sometimes we just have a bunch of stuff to talk about, and this is a week where Joe and Cory!! just have a bunch of stuff to talk about. They get into the recent information on DC trying to raise their sales after their year of contracting into their own distribution and editorial revamp, so Cory and Joe discuss:

• Cory!! got his Fauci Ouchie
• DC seems to have figured out why their sales have dropped, and it’s the least shocking story in comics
• How Marvel and Disney work so well together
• How Diamond and the publisher use sales reps in connection to comic shops
• Changes Diamond is thinking of making due to competition
• Marvel’s trade and hardcover reprint policy
• Cory gives more details on Public Domain publisher Gwanadnaland and YOU GETTING A BUNCH OF FREE COMICS!!
  
  All of this, the usual shenanigans and much, much more!!

Cory!! is reading through the incredibly long story from a few years ago, The Death of Wolverine, and Our Boys are going to talk about how it didn’t seem to have any resonance. This leads him and Joe into a discussion of which stories tat resulted in the death of a comic book character were their favorites. MORBID, AIN’T IT!

They also discuss:

• How comic books deaths lose their power when they bring people back
• “If there is no body, they aren’t dead.”
• The story behind X-Men 137 changing to the version we know now and what Chris Claremont originally planned
• How comics characters deal with the ”revolving door of death”

All of this, the usual shenanigans, and, as always, much, much more!
