Giddy-up for episode 409 of the First Issue Club! This week we're chatting about the death of Godzilla, and remembering President Crow. For first issues, we'll be talking about Age of Revelation issues Omega Kids & The Last Wolverine. In the Hellboy universe we have Captain Henry and the Graveyard of Time. There's a Halloween anthology from Boom Studios that we'll briefly cover, and Vargas brings us home by walking us through a new 30 Days of Night story arc!

This week its just Vargas and Mike. We'll talk about what we're feeling FOMO about from NYCC, along with a heap of first issues. Aside from the books in the title we'll talk Iron & Frost, Sinister's Six, Rogue Storm, Marian Heretic, Mary Sue, and Hector Plasm!

I'M WALKING HERE!

In this episode, Greg and Vargas dive into a variety of topics ranging from pranking schools to the latest news from NYCC. What happens when the Ultimate Universe ends? Fun implications of Superman entering the public domain? We're your home for breaking and exclusive THURSDAY-related NYCC coverage.
We dive head first into the controversy surrounding the newest DC event, DCKO. No other podcast is brave enough to ask the tough questions.
