• A day after we recorded episode 618, we learned of the passing of writer Gerry Conway. Conway was part of the wave of new creators joining comics in the late 1960s and early 1970s. He quickly made his mark, taking over writing chores on Amazing Spider-Man from Stan Lee. Along the way, he helped co-create characters like the Punisher, Firestorm, Power Girl, Ms. Marvel, and many others.
• Is anyone getting mixed messages from Marvel Comics? A while back, a message went out from senior editorial that they were scaling back events, yet all of last week's Comic Giveaway Day books were intros to upcoming events in Avengers, X-Men, Spider-Man and Hulk.
• Jerrry finished season 2 of Daredevil and John is keeping up with The Boys.
• We have our weekly Pick 3 choices, sponsored by our friends at Clint's Comics. Plus, Cullen has a new trivia question, and John has a look at last week's top ten books.

• Journey with us to the early days of the concept called a mini-series. With four issues, writers and artists had the opportunity to explore characters and concepts that might not easily fit into an ongoing monthly title. For example, our choice for this month's book club is Hercules, the 1982 series from creator Bob Layton and Marvel Comics. Taking place some time in the future, Hercules is sent to space by his father, Zeus, to find humility. He may not find the humility, but he does save a kidnapped maiden, protect a planet from going missing, and drops some drugs into Galactus's wine glass. Sounds like a good read to us!
• Joining us for the book club this month is friend-of-the-podcast Don Leibold. If you haven't joined already, take a look at Don's group on Facebook, The Comic Book Panel.
• Stick around to the very end to find out about next month's selection for WCPE Book Club. Cullen has a modern choice from DC Comics' Black Label line.
