By: JD Hardin

Fear And Loathing in Las Vegas, the end of The Darkseid War, an all new Captain America, and the start of DC’s REBIRTH all dropping today?!?! Well, I don’t have to tell you how cool that is. But, I do want to point out some things you won’t want to miss in all the commotion between DC and Marvel. Symmetry Vol. 1 also drops today. Smaller publishers determine whether or not to continue a title based on how many trades are sold. SO BUY SYMMETRY!!!!! You won’t regret it. Well, those are the highlights for the week, there’s a ton more going on, of course. But let’s not waste time. We gotta get to the racks so we can actually get our books before they’re gone!

The Comic Stars of COMICPALOOZA 2016!!!

By: JD Hardin

As many of you know, we try to keep you up to date on everything in the comic book world, especially here in Houston. Comicpalooza is just around the bend and with it comes the glory of all those artists and writers associated with our passion. So, I’ve taken the time to get every profile I can of the comic book guests. It’s taken a bit of time, and remember, not everyone that is going to be there will be on this list. But, I will do everything I can to add more profiles as we get closer to the big day.

Lucifer in Hindsight

By: JD Hardin

The season finale was for Lucifer was a few weeks ago. If you didn’t see it, I feel sorry for you. It was a fantastic series through and through, and it’s no surprise that it has been green lit for a second season. Much to the disappointment of the hate group, One Million Moms, Lucifer has been met with smashing success as millions tune in each week. The production crew made sure to throw everything but the kitchen sink into the series, but have done so with style and class. Offering the depth of a star-studded intellectual drama movie, the laughs of a James Franco/Seth Rogen feature, as much action as the typical Arnold movie, and the AWW factor of a puppy and kitten cuddling, there’s no reason this series can’t last.

SPOILERS AHEAD

Is Apocalypse Coming For FOX?

By: JD Hardin

Captain America: Civil War has been out almost a week, and Civil War has been getting rave reviews all over. Everyone is talking about Captain America. In just over two weeks, FOX will release the next chapter in the X-Men franchise. So where’s the buzz?

Apocalypse was one of the X-Men’s greatest enemies. No doubt, this should be the most epic film in the franchise. So, why aren’t people excited to see the immortal mutant on screen? While Deadpool boasted a measly $58M budget, X-Men: Apocalypse is reported to have a monstrous budget of $234M. We can all agree that Deadpool was an incredible credit to our obsession. What can you buy for four times the price? The public doesn’t seem too interested in the answer. FOX has kept up with their rivals every step of the way. Behind the scenes photos “leaked” on social media, teaser trailer releases, even major press. So why might this movie fall off the nerd radar for the year?

#FCBD Releases

By: JD Hardin

Free Comic Book Day is this Saturday and we’re going to be out at Toxic City Comics celebrating and meeting with all of you guys!!! We’re excited to meet and greet out listeners and readers, and urge you to take advantage of that! We’ll be there from open till the comics are GONE! For those of you wondering what comics are being released for FCBD, I’ve given you a list down below. I know that for #WoW I give you guys some cover photos, so I did it again here.

FCBD is a day for comic fans to celebrate every first Saturday in May. It is exactly what it sounds like. Comic book publishers print one or two books specifically for FCBD. You walk into your local comic book store, pick out what books you want (some retailers set a limit), and you get those books FOR FREE. It really doesn’t get much easier.

If you’ve ever wanted to get into comics, like comics but don’t want to spend any money, you officially have no excuse. So, get down to  Toxic City Comics this Saturday, get some free comics, and hang out with us!!!!!
