The road to the next milestone for HKC! beings here. But fear not! The advent of another 50 issues of the show will not prompt any kind of starting over from scratch or other kind of reboots.

Marvel and DC both come to the fore with the best and worst of universal reboots, but are by no means alone in taking this approach. Discover the changes that were meant to last forever, but usually did not on this episode.

Hey Kids, Comics! #246 - I Like Turtles!
Friday Sep 22, 2017
Friday Sep 22, 2017
Way back in 1984 Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird took a gamble that paid off in ways they could have never imagined. They bet on four turtles, a then obscure reference to Fuedel Japan, and the budding indy comics scene to get a return on investing their life savings.
Did they ever see a return! This week Andrew Farmer and Cole Houston discuss their creation, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, with none other than Figments and The Rantcor Pit co-host Eddie Medina. With Eddie as the in-house expert, expect a lot of insights and laughs served on the half-shell.

Hey Kids, Comics! #239 - Cine-Files: The Good, The Bad, and the Confusing
Friday Aug 04, 2017
Friday Aug 04, 2017
While an issue about Clint Eastwood Spaghetti Westerns might be compelling, the famed actor/director is not the focus this week. This due in no small part to there being no known Clint Eastwood comic books.
Instead your hosts are embarcing on a brand new story arc all about super-heroes on the Silver Screen. This issue launches thing with a look at some of the best, worst, and most obscure comic book based cinema before the arc moves into a handful of solid franchises.
As summer draws to a close it seemed only natural to go out to the movies...
