It’s episode 4! And it’s only a week late! Haha oops. But oh man, we really pack it on with this episode, and somehow still keep it under 35 minutes. So much to catch up on! Wizard adventures, dog modeling, and book releases including Batmens, Punisher, X-Man, and more. Plus, a shout out to the amazing Dana Thompson, Rest In Power. And we learn a hard lesson about summoning the power of Mercury retrograde while recording a podcast (don’t do it unless you want your audio to cut out).

Episode 3 is here, and it’s a ranty one! We’ve got some great comics to cover, including a couple first issues and a new hardcover that I’m pretty excited about! Plus some thoughts on Portland Indie Con’s first year, a cautionary tale about quizzing your friendly LCS employees, and some listener questions to wrap things up.

In Episode 2 we’re gonna go all over the place! I talk about my recent experiences with permanent makeup (microblading), plus lots of comics and comics-adjacent entertainment: Silver Surfer Black, Conan the Barbarian, and Madame Xanadu being the coolest character in the Swamp Thing tv series. Also, a continuity question! Do you know the answer? If so, chime in to the convo and let us know! P.S. – migraines are bad, mmkay?

It’s the first official full episode of Merrick Has Issues! Clocking in at just over 30 minutes long, we cover a few news bits such as: why did the new Swamp Thing tv show get cancelled after only 1 episode? Plus some comics reviews for Thumbs #1, Savage Avengers #1 and #2 (okay, that’s more of a rant…), and Batman: Last Knight on Earth. Listen to the episode above—still working on getting syndicated on various podcast apps—and don’t forget to check out the supplemental content below! DIE RPG Open Beta – This an early version by a gleeful amateur. It’s about DIE the situation rather than the specifics of DIE. As in, you generate a group of real world people, who then sit down to play a role-playing game, before getting dragged into a fantasy world. Yes, it’s a little Meta.

It’s episode 0! Just a quick episode to explain who I am, what Merrick Has Issues is, and what this whole podcast thing is about. I’m sure I forgot some stuff! Either way, thanks so much for listening! This is a new adventure for me and I’m looking forward to seeing where we can take it. Have a question or comment for a future episode?
