Recorded this past MLK Birthday, the CBB boys took advantage of the federal holiday by getting together to discuss recent comics!! Steve, Caleb and Billy Z roundtable six new books, so hit play to hear the hairy, heavy chit chat about Hulk: Smash Everything (Marvel), Aquaman #12 which features the title character's K.O. battle with Hawkman (DC), the Absolute Batman: Ark-M one-shot (DC), the new horror anthology ShiverSuspensestories (EC Comics/Oni), Mauruce Vellekoop's touching graphic novel memoir I'm So Glad We Had This Time Together (Pantheon) and the latest incarnation of Peter Cannon: Thunderbolt (Dynamite Entertainment) on this latest audio episode!

The Comic Book Bears Podcast is back for its first audio episode of 2026! After getting caught up with what their holidays were like (including a little bit of early Geek Gets show and tell) Bill Z, Steve and Caleb take us into the first rotation of the 2026 virtual spinner rack to talk about recent comics! DC is represented by Absolute Wonder Woman #15 (the first ever team up with Absolute Batman), by Superman: The Kryptonite Spectrum, and by the second omnibus of The Question by Denny O'Neill and Denys Cowan. Two new Mad Cave books are also discussed - Look Into My Eyes and The New Space Age! And Kieron Gillen's Die series continues with Die Loaded from our friends at Image Comics!

One quick note - this episode was recorded on January 8th, one day after the killing of Renee Good by ICE agents in Minneapolis.

A lot has gone down since.
