First Issue Club Podcast
United States
Приєднався 29 січ 2018
We're a weekly podcast that's dedicated to all things comic books. We fancy ourselves a reading club that's accessible to new and existing fans of the comic community.
Our Story:
In 2016, we started a comic book reading club, where we found that discussing the first issue of a new series helped fulfill a lot of what we were missing from the comic book experience - community & conversation. These books didn’t require an intimidating amount of background knowledge - Instead, they welcomed more new voices, perspectives, and ideas as our reading club grew.
For almost seven years now, we’ve pressed a record button before starting those weekly meet-ups, and whether you are new to comics, or a long-time fan, I hope you find that joining this reading club helps make your comic book experience feel a little more accessible and welcoming too.

I will never get tired of the intro tagline.
Thanks for the shout out. Cheers, DSTLRY!
Now that we're on the topic of board games, what are your top five favorite board games?
Did you know a board game came out last year which has the theme of a comic book publisher?
Strangely enough, we did know that. Can't seem to find the game anywhere though
Ahem...
Avid listener of your podcast. Just a quick note to say thanks for all you do. You folks are great ambassadors of the comic book hobby and I really appreciate the positive vibe you send out. Keep up the great work.
Hey,... first time listener, long time caller here... What level of financial support do we need to pledge to get a shout out?
@@michaelnunn2582 shout outs are free, my man.
😂😂
Wasn’t able to watch live because I was traveling, but please do the shows live more often!
Literally, the best line

Listened on Spotify loved this! - Freeds from the Discord
@@Eazy247 FREEDS!!!
Greg took one for the team and made a tough call, but choices that I can get behind!
@@theshortboxpodcast4182 lines were drawn and enemies were made all in the name of comic book content.
47:33 now is the WORST time to get issue 1. Wait till the show is out. Or if you want it even cheaper, wait till the show is over.
This was a lot of fun. Cheers from Utah.
@@steevenhydetercero Cheers
Fruit Stripped Gum, classic.
1:13:34 I actually did listen to it then watch it on UA-cam, mostly on accident.
I had the same issue with Unknown Comics, they took forever to send my comics. I use Golden Apple, and they are pretty good with sending comics out on time.
I can only see the FIC logo on the UA-cam channel, rarely do I get to see video.
@@Rockinrobin98 hey, Robin, video version is rendering and will be posted later today. Thanks for checking!
@@firstissueclubpodcastwill do, thank you! I love your podcast and have been listening for 3 years!
@@Rockinrobin98 that’s amazing! We appreciate you listening. Any suggestions on what we should be covering or talking about in future episodes?
@@firstissueclubpodcast Nope, you guys are perfect!!
What a good-looking crew! Tell Vargas to stop bringing up his brother -- this isn't the place for this.
Love the review. Cheers, DSTLRY !
Vargas apologizing 🤣
Damn! These guys are HOT 🔥🔥🔥
10k approves of the Homage cover for Department of Truth
Gg
Jesus guys. So far behind. I gotta catch up. This is the furthest I've ever been behind
'Promosm' 💔
Yeah, I definitely NEED that fantasy book. Also, what a NUGGET dropped on this show; MORE BRUBAKER/EPTING!?! But What about Velvet!?! AGH!
Thank you so much for this incredible review of Jill and the Killers! I hope you guys love the rest of this first arc!
Nice review of Moon Man! And it’s not a limited series, it’s ongoing. Recently at the comic launch party, Cudi said “We’re just getting started. Moon Man will be around til i’m 80 years old. That’s the plan.”
❤
So much disrespect for Budget King at the end of the episode. Good to hear you again BK.
Solid as always.
