    Captain America: Brave New World (MCU) chatter / Doom (2024) #1

    Captain America: Brave New World (MCU) chatter / Doom (2024) #1

    This week the club is sans Vargas, but the show must go on! Greg and Mike chop it up about the Captain America McDonalds toys, and decide wether we're hyped or not for it. Next we mention Nick Cage's Spider-Man Noir coming to TV... Then... FINALLY! It's time for those sweet sweet reads the title of the show promised. We discuss the new Spawn universe mini-series Monolith, The Doom one-shot by Sanford Greene & Jonathan Hickman, a cool new dark fantasy on Darkhorse called Heart Piercer, and then Greg catches us up on a few more comics we missed last week while covering C2E2, which includes a book he was particularly hyped on, called Mugshots out on Mad Cave. 
    Join us on the Patreon for more C2E2 talk, and some convos around purchasing original art.

    The Whisper Queen / Bloodhunt / 007th Club Preview

    The Whisper Queen / Bloodhunt / 007th Club Preview

    CON CRUD!!!
    It's taken one of our own this time. Seems we brought something home with us from Chicago and we're not talking memories. Mike D is at home fighting for the will to live so Greg and Vargas carry on as strong little soldiers in his absence. 
    So for this episode they've decided to flip the script and try something new. While you'll still get great comic book news updates and first issue reviews, the Noize Bois have chosen to add a preview of a Patreon exclusive show at the end. 007th Club is the Patreon show dedicated to the Dynamite series of James Bond comic books. Greg and Vargas explore the series and other James Bond related content to get Greg cultured and into the 21st century.
    The books we cover are: The Whisper Queen, Get Fury, Bloodhunt, The Dragon Trade and Dick Tracy. All fantastic books that can be found at your LCS and digitally.
    If you're interested in MORE First Issue Club make sure to check out Patreon.com/FirstIssueClub as well as all our social media accounts. Remember to be kind and welcoming to new readers and have a fantastic FCBD!!!

Just Good Friends and People…

Mike, Vargas, and Greg make you feel like you are hanging out with your long-lost friends talking comics. I used to support them on Patreon, but money is tight as my wife finishes NP school. Just know all their content is Golden!

WONDERFUL POD, WONDERFULER FOLKS

This podcast rules so hard. The show has evolved and flowed so well over my last few years enjoying it. Greg, Mike, Vargas, BK, & Kaitlyn all give unique perspectives into collecting and reading comics. They’re a group of folks who have and understanding but aren’t gatekeepers. They just share with pure joy. So welcoming, so fun, so stupid, the best.

Great Content. Typically Costs Me More Money To Listen 😂🤷‍♂️

Since they’ve been back on a regular schedule, this really has become my go-to comics podcast of late.

Humorous, concise, insightful, and irreverent. All packed into a comfy 60+/- minutes
