This week we're unwrapping Within Our Reach, the early ’90s holiday benefit anthology. Created to raise funds for Sempervirens and amfAR, the book features a mix of superheroes and social causes into one seasonal package. Festive, earnest, and unexpectedly weird in turns, it’s a holiday special worth reading.

’Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the bins, Not a hero was stirring without long undies underneath.

This week’s Dollar Bin Discovery celebrates Long Underwear, so Jessika is checking out Herbie #1 from Dark Horse, while Mike read Glory & Friends Christmas Special.

Today we’re going (back) to the future with Hercules: Prince of Power vol. 2. Will we get lost without the context of the prequel? Will Marvel’s biggest himbo in space win us over? Is Skyppi the Skrull a trans allegory? Tune in to find out!

This week, we're blasting off into Sci-Fi Crime, where the future is shady and everyone's moral compass is a bit off.

Mike checked out the preview issue of Crimson Skies, a pulpy mix of air pirates and alternate history, while Jessika dove into the wonderfully chaotic Aristocratic X-Traterrestrial Time-Traveling Thieves #1. It’s heists, hijinks, and high-concept nonsense.

Our latest deep dive tackles how comics confronted (and often struggled to confront) the AIDS epidemic throughout the 1980s and 90s. There's everything from groundbreaking moments of compassion to outrageously offensive books. We check out what the medium got right, what it got very wrong, and why these stories still matter.

This week’s Dollar Bin Discovery theme honors Native American Heritage Month with a look at comics with Native characters across the decades.

Mike read Avengers #682, where a legacy hero gets swept into a cosmic crisis, while Jessika explored the trippy, time-bending world of Timespirits #1.

This week we're diving into Garth Ennis’s 2007 Dan Dare series. It's a grim, yet surprisingly heartfelt reboot of a character better known for stiff-upper-lip sci-fi adventures.

This week on Dollar Bin Discoveries, we’re celebrating comics’ Elderly Icons... because heroes don’t retire, they just get grumpier. Mike visits a superpowered retirement community in Welcome to Tranquility #1, while Jessika rides into battle with Crone #1.
