Jermaine, Stephen & Jody give themselves a much-needed pat on the back for a Wednesday-well-done, sift their way through a surprisingly busy week of comic news and pick apart Marvel's Infinity #1 from the nuts & bolts to the staples and coverstock!

Stephen and Jody interrogate Jermaine about his arial adventure to Boston Comic Con! Then the guys do their best to put the 3-D cover allocations for DC Villains Month and the career of J. Michael Straczynski into perspective before serving up a heaping helping of Comics at the Table, now with 200% of your weekly dosage of second issues!

For those of you that couldn't make it out to Geeksboro, we bring you the bulk of our first ever Acme Previews Night discussion! The event was a HUGE success, with some customers adding as many at 10 new titles to their subscription lists and some new books increasing their pre-order numbers by as much as 30%! If you're local, try to come by the first Thursday of next month and if you're listening from afar, either try a Previews Night at your own store or encourage your shop to do a get-together!

Show Notes:

  • PreviewsWorld, the online home of Previews magazine!
  • Exclusive second look at our Comic Book City Con cover for Locke & Key Alpha!
  • UPDATE! Pretty Deadly from Image Comics, which Jermaine specifically said had 17 pre-orders at the time of the recording, now has 22 pre-orders less than 24 hours later!
