Nobody doesn't like Previews! We go through the April catalog for items shipping starting in June. (1:56:44)

Listen here.

I'm only a little bit into this one. Surprised there's speculation about whose hand is reaching out to the DC heroes in the cover of Rebirth #1:



Pretty sure it'll turn out to be these guys:

I'm hoping it's Hickman's hand.

Even better response! LOL!

Earth-B for “bad,” @Adam_Murdough? Oh, no. Earth-B for boss!

I think we can thank Mort Weisinger’s ego for the continuation of Aquaman and Green Arrow through the 1950s. Mort “co-created” both characters, and I believe that’s the only reason he made sure they stuck around.

@wildpigcomics, it's pronounced Fred KEY-dah.

[Edit: And @Pants, it's pronounced Otto BEN-der, as in back issue bin.

@Pants, I'm starting to think the next CGS fan event should be sorting through your collection in exchange for Shady Maple!

My guess on the hand: Wally West. The original Wally West. The Flash has a tendency to burst out of lightning in times of Rebirth and Crisis.

"What...who are...? This is all wrong..."

My second idea would be Alan Scott, followed shortly thereafter by the JSA.

I'm betting on Mopee, an initiate Tenth Class of the Heavenly Helpmates from Flash #167

This had actually been my second guess. Well postulated, sir!

Positively the most positive previews ever! ;)

@Adam_Murdough, regarding the Thunderbolts collections, the Classic Thunderbolts volume 2 is a new printing. They actually have been releasing them in series order (Classic Thunderbolts volumes 1-3, Hawkeye & the Thunderbolts volumes 1-2) which is following the series run nicely.

My assumption is that Classic v2 must be out of print or something, so they did a new one. But that's just a guess on my part. Regardless, I've been buying them and loving having this series easily accessible on my bookshelf.

At risk of being pigeonholed as a shameless fanboy, the recurring sarcasm from @wildpigcomics in this episode regarding the comments on ep 1600 was hilarious.. especially the final "Read Saga." remark.. I laughed out loud.

I uttered a rather loud “ha!” myself. Can't win for offering honest criticism, can’t win for offering honest praise.

Maybe I'm tired of hearing about Saga because I live in Saga City, Japan. But anyway, good episode guys! I don't think I added anything that I hadn't had on my list (THIS TIME), but I loved that last Muddle-the-Murd segment! It's so amazing how Murd pulls answers out of the ether sometimes.

Abraham Lincoln?!

P.S. I think the hand on the cover of the DC Rebirth special is the same hand as this one...
