CBFMP 255: Even I Have My Limits
By Dustin Cabeal
It's NYCC time, which used to be a happy time... now it's just a con I used to know (fuck you Justin for getting that song stuck in my head forever!). How are you? I ask that because that's how Warren Ellis writes his newsletters and he's in charge of WildStorm now! That's at the end, though, we start with Power Rangers and Logan. Lion Forge makes big moves and there's other actual comic news to come from NYCC. I know. Comic news on a comic podcast, what will we think of next?
The Best Graphic Novel You Won't See at NYCC
By Pablo Arriaga
Karl Slominski is a weird dude. Karl Slominski is a guy who loves to make comics more than anything else and has dedicated his life to do so. A Kubert School graduate, he has worked on several beloved indie titles like Golgotha, a book about a man addicted to drugs and H.P. Lovecraft is on the hunt for the people who have exhumed his corpse. Karl also lent his talents for Ashes, a comic about a NY firefighter relearning how to approach his career after a traumatic experience where he loses a leg. And being part of the DC/IDW Comic Book Anthology Love Is Love, to honor the victims of the horrific Orlando attacks, he will join the superstar names like Patton Oswalt, Phil Jimenez, Olivier Coipel. Karl Slominski knows three things really well and has them on his business card. Noise. Paint. Love.
NYCC 2016: Boom and DC Make Weirdest Crossover Yet
By Dustin Cabeal
If you're new to the site, then no that I'm not a fan of Planet of the Apes and I am a fan of Green Lantern. This crossover doesn't excite me in the least bit and really seems like another desperate attempt from BOOM! to get noticed by Diamond so that they'll make them a premiere publisher. "Look, we put that monkey license with the same franchise DC let IDW shit on! Give us premiere status!" This was how I felt upon reading this news and it's the only good thing to come from POTA. The only good thing.
NYCC 2016: Valiant's Got Exclusive Shirts... And SOCKS!
By Dustin Cabeal
If you follow my annoying as fuck Loot Crate unboxing videos and have seen the talented Justin Wood's banner image then you know I love me some socks! I blame Kevin Beckham for that. Valiant has some pretty cool clothing at the show, I dig their shirts for sure, but those socks... damn I wish I was still going so I could get me a three pack.
Call Me A Hypocrite, But I'd Still Wear This Josie's Shirt
By Dustin Cabeal
You may recall my not so negative, not so positive review of Archie's rebooted Josie and the Pussycats series yesterday. If you don't, read that here. At NYCC they have exclusives because everyone does and while most are variants and such, this shirt stood out. Becuase this artwork made me want to read the series. I love the art by Audrey Mok and so I would wear the fuck out of this shirt. I do wish it was on say a white, pink, orange shirt... anything other than black. It doesn't pop on black. If you're at NYCC it's $25 bucks for the Men's pictured above and the Women's V-Neck below.

“Dude, this week’s Let’s Anime is all deranged romance.”
“So Lindsay picked the shows?”
“Obviously. She’s back with Please Excuse My Younger Brothers, and the family tree is becoming a dating app.”
“Please excuse my WHAT?”
“Exactly. Then there’s Firefly Wedding, where she’s defending the murderous fiancé again.”
“Okay, but does he care about her?”
“He’s lurking in the rafters with a sword.”
“So he’s present.”
“That’s basically her argument. Meanwhile, Dustin watched What’s Wrong with Getting Reborn as a Goblin? These goblins live seven days, bang constantly, and pass down their abilities when they die.”
“Seven days? How do they get anything done?”
“The reincarnated office guy introduces management.”
“Bro got isekai’d and brought corporate restructuring?”
“And Dustin actually likes it. There’s politics, weird powers—”
“Does he talk about the economy?”
“Lindsay already asked. Then he covers Reborn as a Space Mercenary: I Woke Up Piloting the Strongest Starship! He’s got an overpowered ship, an elf, another girl—”
“Harem.”
“—and he’s waiting for the plot to start.”
“The plot started. You just listed it.”
“There’s also an argument about whether Lindsay will watch Paws and Palaces.”
“The cat one? Doesn’t she love cats?”
“Apparently the cats require the correct country of origin.”
“How long before they actually talk about anime?”
“First you have to hear why Dustin couldn’t hand out candy in his inflatable Jeff the Shark costume.”
“Fine. I’m listening.”
