Contest Of Challengers

Holy cats are there a ton of new Marvel Comics scheduled for this fall! There are also many more pre-SDCC announcements. So! Many! And we kind of dump all over Civil War II #3.

What is Dal’s fascination with Kate McKinnon? It’s a cornucopia of pre-San Diego Comic-Con news this week! The Great Lakes Avengers are back!

My least favorite part of every episode is writing this description. Also, this episode’s title was supposed to be LAST week’s title, but I forgot and just took the name of the song that was playing at the time I posted it.  

Patrick is joined by a very special guest and they talk about Brexit, Roman Reigns’ suspension, Ikea, a non-Challengers comic shop, the first month of DC Rebirth titles, Civil War II and plenty more.

It’s total role-reversal this episode as Patrick chats with David Harper of SKTCHD.com and the Off Panel Podcast.

Lots more Rebirth talk, about this week’s Rebirth titles.

This episode was only 9 minutes… but then Patrick added to it. You’re welcome.

Patrick goes solo this week and is sorry for the terrible audio quality of this episode. Even more sorry for the passing of Darwyn Cooke.

What a week of events we’ve had! Jill Thompson, Lucy Knisley and Free Comic Book Day are all discussed here. Wheee!

A bonus episode! This is a rundown of the free comicsChallengers is offering on Free Comic Book Day!

DC presented retailers with a Rebirth Roadshow and we were there! Here’s a recap!

We’ve made an addition to our already awesome Free Comic Book Day line-up, and that addition is the delightful Andrea Bell! The creator of FAIR VOYAGE joins Patrick this week to talk art and comics, to drink beer, and to say “EpiPen” many times. And she doesn’t belch at all. Also, there are many (many) tangents.

Dal gives us a pre and post show rundown/recap for BotCon 2016, with a brief interlude from Patrick about picking up the free comic book day comics. So you still get BOTH CoC hosts, just separately.

Lots of news coming out of the weekend’s Emerald City Comicon.

Faith Erin Hicks will be @ Challengers this Wednesday! We also talk about lots of other stuff. Lots, I say!

This episode is pretty much and hour and a half of us discussing DC’s Rebirth creative teams. There are a few short stories, but basically all DC.

Patrick and Dal run down this year’s C2E2 experience. And then Patrick takes you thru 2 successful C2E2 store events. Bonus(?)—the whole episode is recorded in a car!

Our 2016 FCBD plans are discussed! Amy Chu. And I just realized I never finished writing the description. Too late now!

Stop stealing from us! Please and thank you. Revolution’s Galaxy Hero Relaunch Party for C2E2. In-Store Convention Kick Off. CBR. ComicsPRO.

With no fanfare (aside from this right here) it’s Episode #250!! We talk about retailer reactions to DC’s Rebirth via Facebook, Warner Bros. possible franchise comics and listener Top 10 pulls list choices!
