Open registration for San Diego Comic-Con 2016 came to us on Saturday... and it left us in less than an hour. As has become the norm, the convention completely sold out in less than an hour, and, like many of you, we were frozen out. So we spend a few minutes talking about how SDCC attendance has basically become a lottery system over which we attendees have no control, and discuss various options for making the con more available, from moving it to another city, to expanding San Diego's facilities, to engaging in a mutually assured destruction nuclear showdown with the United States Navy.

Otherwise, the big comics news of the week was that DC Comics finally shared some details about their long-teased Rebirth event. And while story details are still scarce, we talk about how DC swears this isn't a reboot (Even as all but two of their titles are being renumbered to #1), why DC needs to do something like this, what titles we can look forward to starting in May, speculate about what creative teams we'd like to see on those books, and complain that none of those books are Ambush Bug.

We also discuss American Monster #2, written by Brian Azzarello with art by Juan Doe, and Standoff: Welcome to Pleasant Hill #1, written by Nick Spencer with art by Mark Bagley!
