It's that time of year again! Summer has arrived and the annual Summer Fun issue is here at last!

Hey Kids, Comics! #315 - Don't Cry For Me San Diego
Thursday Jul 04, 2019
Thursday Jul 04, 2019
For the last few years there has not been a year without the sound of your hosts Andrew Farmer and Cole Houston railing against the collection assassin that is the San Diego Comic Con exclusive - regardless of the vendor.
2019 will see this tradition continuing as they share their thoughts about this year's slate of "can't-get-it-if-you-are-not-here collectibles that are being offered at SDCC. While conditions have improved for collectors, the exclusivity of some items remains quite problematic.
Find out what the guys have to say about things this year....

The boys are back!
Okay, the old dudes are back! Hey Kids, Comics! returns from an unscheduled late Spring hiatus with the promised look at comic book henchmen. From the themed gangs that aid in the malfeasance of comics' top crooks to the unexpected henchmen you never knew were out there, this issue has it all!

Cyborgs! Cyborgs! Cyborgs!
More machine than man!
Cyborgs! Cyborgs! Cyborgs!
With this topic HKC! ran!
Welcome to the latest issue of Hey Kids, Comics! which follows on the deadly heels of an issue about man at the pinnacle of physical perfection with one about the melding of man and machine. A particular chestnut of comic books that tends to be illustrated with lateral cranial cybernetic enhancement, generally with the artificial being on the left side. This and more will Andrew "Robo Cardigan" Farmer and Cole "CyberJedi" Houston explore in this fully enhanced issue of the show.

Hey Kids, Comics! #311 - Fu Fighters
Friday May 10, 2019

Hey kids, Shang-Chi!
After more than 300 issues of the show it was past time that Andrew Farmer and Cole Houston discussed the son of Fu-Manchu who is also Marvel's self-styled "Master of Kung-Fu"! That's twice the Fu!
From beginnings as a leap onto the martial arts bandwagon of the 70s with a Bruce Lee-inspired lead to weaving the legend of Fu Manchu into his story to the ups and downs of a character the publisher sometimes loved, sometimes loathed, there was a lot to cover with one of JediCole's favorite comics!

Warner Brothers had finally realized that dark and brooding is great for Batman, but not necessarily the entire DCU. So it is only natural that "Shazam!" is the topic of discussion in this HCK! arc that explores recent comic book based television shows and movies.
This week Andrew Farmer and Cole Houston are joined by none other than JediCole's own dad! Amazing insights are had from someone who read Captain Marvel comics (the one featuring the lead character of Shazam!) back in the early 40s!
