The Fellowship of the Geeks: 159 – If You Want To Hate Your Superheroes

The Fellowship is pleased to present our discussion of Free Comic Book Day and the books that we’re looking forward to this year. Every year for more than ten years now, the first Saturday in May brings a special event to our Local Comic Shops, and we’re big fans of that sort of thing (not surprisingly). We talk new titles, cool reprints, and a whole lot of other stuff. Plus our usual oddness, as well as our picks of the week.

Announcements:

Come hang out with us! We have monthly meetups on 2nd Saturdays in Garland, TX; details on Facebook & Twitter & the Events tab on our website

What we’re up to this week:

I got my loot from the Boston Metaphysical Society Kickstarter – again, thanks, Madeleine!

A hard week fighting poison ivy – and not even the fun Batman villain 😞 (but a fun torture tangent)

Actual comics – Astro Hustle, Section Zero, Dial H For Hero, Fairlady; all are awesome first issues (oh, and we’re doing reviews again on the website, go check it out)

Picking up trades – Silver Age Justice League of America v2 and v3; cool stuff

Check out our sponsor page! Head to the website and click on the banners for Things From Another World! (Click through the TFAW banner on our site and we get a cut. Thank you!)

April showers and all that, right? Well, in Texas we do things big, and our spring storms are no exception, as you’ll hear throughout this week’s exciting installment. A show so good it will rattle the foundations of the earth! 😉

And oh yeah, free comics! Go check out your Local Comic Shop to get in on some of this action – and tell ’em we sent you!

If you don’t have a regular comic shop, go to this website and they’ll help you find one near you!
