Shownotes

It’s New Comic Wednesday with a solid week of releases led by a new Absolute Batman, including discussion of the surprising Robin symbol appearing on multiple covers and a strong recommendation to pick up the issue. The shop highlights reprints and facsimiles, names Fireborne #1 as the pick of the week (with an homage cover), and talks through “the next level” titles like Batwoman, Deathstroke, and Lobo, including reactions to Deathstroke’s tone and twist. They also spotlight GI Joe #21 (noting it appears largely silent), Marvel facsimiles like Silver Surfer #2, Thundercats blind bags, and the hard-to-find indie hit Nectar with a first reprint and issue #2 out now. Trade mentions include Flash: Rebirth Omnibus and Booster Gold, with talk about DC’s connected storytelling and Booster’s role in finding Superman, plus upcoming Marvel Avengers: Armageddon bagged editions bundling a Magic card and related variants.
