Worst Collection Ever

Join comic book fans Jen Stansfield-Marek and Shawn Marek every Thursday for WORST COLLECTION EVER. It's a comedy show where Jen and Shawn poke fun at their own collection of random comic books, most of which that they bought for a dollar or less. Most of the comics are not really worth anything monetarily but they have to justify their purchase somehow! Email the podcast and talk to the hosts at worstcollectionever@gmail.com!

(Kevin) Nash

2019/04/18

Nash #1 (1999)Former WCW and WWF World champion / MAGIC MIKE dancer Kevin Nash combined forces with Image Comics in the late 90's to create a comic about himself and his beautiful hair. Apparently in four years, the world will be seriously screwed and its full-on LAND OF THE DEAD minus zombies out there. Kevin Nash is our savior, fighting against creepy ministers and devilish women with extremely pointy dresses. Nash’s out here dropping explosive Mentos in dudes’ mouths and making sure

JSA #48 (2003)Captain Marvel and Stargirl are stuck in a shadow nightmare world where Billy Batson has to stay a boy and be useless. Thorn shows up looking like Poison Ivy and mistakes them for her kids in a pretty depressing turn. Fear not though because this book also has SUPERHEROES EATING~! Hector Hall’s having damn picnic inside the Helm of Fate and all our friends are there — the Strausses, Inza, Kid Eternity for some reason and my main man Jared Stevens! One day, I will get the chance to eat

Incredible Hulk #267 (1982)Rick Jones gets Bruce all riled up over a rainbow in the dark (shout-out to DIO), turning him into Hulk and sending him on a rampage in a desert town. Golden Bruce Springsteen shows up to grant a bunch of wishes to the townsfolk, including a cop becoming a different cop with a different hat. Hulk manages to ruin everything and Springsteen’s albino Skrull boss shows up to make matters worse.Continue the conversation with Shawn and Jen on Twitter @angryheroshawn and

Time got away from us while we were traveling so no comic book this week. HOWEVER, we did want to talk about some of the stuff we saw in LA while on the Warner Bros tour, including some Aquaman gimmicks.We also talk about the “Disney buys Fox” news and what that could mean in terms of new film and TV properties of the comic book variety as well as a few new purchases we’ve had lately.Continue the conversation with Shawn and Jen on Twitter @angryheroshawn and @JenStansfield

Starfire & Friends

Worst Collection Ever ·

2019/03/14

Teen Titans Spotlight #19 (1988)Starfire and Nightwing move in together and immediately Kory fills their giant flat with framed pictures of Dick and really tiny pictures of Donna Troy. She gets bored and flies around the city, ruining a helicopter lesson and crossing paths with a ghost-self Harbinger. Thankfully for Harbinger, Starfire arrives just in time to help her out in battling cyborg’d young Keith Olberman in a Manhunter robot (because Millennium)Also, we forgot to say if we’d read the next

Captain Marvel

Worst Collection Ever ·

2019/03/07

Captain Marvel [vol 3] #1 (1995)When you go to the movies this weekend to see CAPTAIN MARVEL, just remember that instead of Carol, it could have been his snappy 90s space-boy. Genis-Vell is one of them aged clones — technically the “son” of the original Captain Mar-Vell — who grew up on nu-metal and probably drank Fruitopia or Orbitz on the regular. He turned out to be a grimy rager and in his first solo story, he takes a huge dump in a space toilet and then accidentally commits mass murder on a

Batman / Superman

Batman/Superman #13 (2014)Back to the superhero comics grind as we cover some DC farts from the 21st century! (WAVE OF THE FUTURE)Batman and Superman are both amnesiacs all of sudden, shuttled violently into a Gotham that looks like blighted as all hell. Clark is naked (but not afraid) helping Catwoman beat up some garbage androids while Bruce is discovering his wealth and gadgets all over again. We also find the filthiest bathroom in all of Gotham, a feat unto itself.Email the podcast at

Young Heroes in Love

Worst Collection Ever ·

2019/02/14

Oh man, a long-forgotten DC Comics team of characters from the 90s! These are the most jabroni loser heroes we’ve seen in a long time, with one dude walking around in nothing but Dr. Manhattan’s underpants and a pair of nipple rings. The rest are a bunch of generic heroes with generic powers who just happen to all be hot for each other or something (hence the title of the comic). The actual genesis of this team is that two of them met at a NASCAR race.Anyway, they all get together to fight

Teen-Age Confidential Confessions #16 (1963)Our hearts are pumping romance this month on WCE and we are starting out strong with this Charlton Comics gem of a love anthology. We’ve got:a traumatized woman, haunted by the abandonment of her drug mule father, contemplating marriage due to a rained-out Yankees gamea handsome stranger stalking a depressed lady in an elevatora thrifty gal refusing to accept the gift of James Corden from her suitorthe same handsome stranger from the second story stalking

Power Lords

Worst Collection Ever ·

2019/01/31

Power Lords #1 (1983)Does anyone remember the Power Lords action figures as a kid? Probably not many of you. It was kind of high-concept sci-fi stuff that your grandfather probably liked if he watched Doctor Who. I mean, it feels like DUNE with a prince of mystical origin and all that. Sadly, Patrick Stewart wearing a pug into battle is nowhere to be found.Regardless, DC did a comic to promote the gimmicks featuring one of the most veiny protagonists outside of John Cena. He’s teamed up with Red

X-O Manowar

Worst Collection Ever ·

2019/01/24

X-O Manowar #16 (1993)My perception has always been that Valiant Comics are perpetually boring, with Archer & Armstrong and all that (I’ve never read it). Turns out though, Valiant - specifically X-O Manowar - is violent AF and we like it. Its like an Andy Sidaris movie but doubled-down on exploding viscera instead of fake breasts. The story is pretty wild too. X-O Manowar gets back from strike-busting to help a young socialite escape her mother - played by Stockard Channing - who is hunting her

ShadowHawk

Worst Collection Ever ·

2019/01/17

ShadowHawk [vol 1] #4 (1993)We head back to Image for some vengeance-tinged action with Jim Valentino’s ShadowHawk, a character that speaks in second-person and knocks the literal tomato soup out of criminals. Thankfully, Savage Dragon is here to reign him in and possibly break his spine. So much spine-breaking-threatening in this book.Also, we analyze the Shadowline universe which includes a dude with one huge tooth, names with letters where they shouldn’t be and a hero that helps you find

Silver Age Batman

Worst Collection Ever ·

2019/01/10

Batman #163 (1964)Its two Silver Age Batman stories in one book….aren’t we blessed? In the first story, Alfred writes some fanfic (for real) that imagines Dick-Batman and Robin Jr. Jr. teaming up with Batwoman II on Earth-40 to face a mad scientist that failed engineering hard and made a fist-ship that should never fly. Thankfully, 100 lb Batwoman II is a kayfabe linebacker and can tackle steel machines into mobsters with ease.In the second story, Joker puts Batman on trial for not allowing crime to

Speedball, the Masked Marvel

Worst Collection Ever ·

2019/01/03

Speedball #2 (1988)This ain’t a podcast about doing lots of coke and heroin but we do address that. It’s actually about the New Warriors goof that would indirectly kill a bunch of kids in the WWE’s backyard and change comics forever. SPEEDBALL is also another sub-par Steve Ditko book that we’re covering, featuring anachronistic attire, teenagers murdering Lex Luthor with glue and PTSD-riddled veterans on a rampage versus bloodthirsty beat cops.Email the podcast at

Aquaman & Hawkman

Worst Collection Ever ·

2018/12/27

The Brave and The Bold #51 (1964)In honor of the AQUAMAN movie (which we review), we also dig into the time that Aquaman and Hawkman teamed up to face a Turtle-Eagle-Frog that used to be a disgraced Atlantean politician that became an atrocity. There’s a bunch of malarkey with birds and fish being controlled by the wrong people and what not. Why do they have to be controlled at all? LEAVE THE BIRDS AND FISH ALONE!!! Anyway, Aquaman murders a bunch of fish while Hawkman ruins a progressive transit

Tales to Astonish

2018/12/21

Tales to Astonish #5 [Vol 2] (1980)In this Sub-Mariner reprint, we get introduced to Todd Arliss aka Tiger Shark who was on the verge of making millions of dollars for swimming until he decided to become a jagged tooth shark man. Is that even possible? Making millions for swimming? Like, ACTUALLY swimming and not just appearing on cereal boxes? Name someone other than Marc Spitz or Michael Phelps (who are Olympians with endorsements) that’s as big of a “professional swimmer” as John Cena is to

Congorilla

Worst Collection Ever ·

2018/12/13

Congorilla #4 (1993)In the 90s, no one was safe from getting extreme, not even immortal apes mentally inhabited by jungle explorers. In this Congorilla reboot, Congo Bill’s jungle child companion (ugh) grows up and goes wild…er as he takes over the Congorilla body from Bill and dresses it up as a low rent mall Dracula. This was a surprisingly violent book capped off with some racial insensitivity and a dash of an awkward AIDS PSA. At least the ape puns were passable. Email the podcast at
