Pick of the Week:
00:02:08 - Ron chooses The Amazing Spider Man #585 as the surprise Pick of the Week and now officially deems Brand New Day a spectacular success. Conor replacement Sonia Harris isn't quite as excited.
Comics:
00:12:04 - Ron thought Darkhawk #1 had a promising start yet fell apart towards the end. He's still buying #2 though.
00:15:28 - Josh bought Cable #11 and actually liked it. Surprisingly, the sky remains intact.
00:19:24 - The Immortal Iron Fist #22 made a tonal change which was Josh's Pick of the Week yet Ron hated.
00:21:04 - The Boys #27 pushes Josh dangerously close to not liking a Garth Ennis series. How is that sky still up there? On the other hand, Sonia loved the implications on American culture and gets into a big conversation about the whole thing.
00:22:38 - Buffy the Vampire Series #22 gives us Vampire Cats which Sonia describes as "funny shit."
00:30:20 - Ron loves X-Men: First Class - Finals #1 while Sonia hates it. It's 2 out of 6 for comics Sonia likes so far.
00:31:32 - Ron deems the best superhero title out there Dynamo 5 #19. And Sonia likes it! It's 3 for 7 now! Whee!
00:32:14 - Josh likes The Punisher #2. That sky's still up there...
00:33:34 - Secret Warriors #1 was complicated but good. The art's a bit rough though.
00:37:12 - Josh picked up I Am Lesion -- no, wait -- I Am Legion #1 for Conor. It's beautiful John Cassaday art but don't ask Josh what it's about. Maybe vampires.
User Reviews:
00:40:57 - CammyKnoxville enjoyed Astonishing Tales #1 which he likened to 2000AD.
00:42:03 - Neb did not enjoy Final Crisis: Legion of Three Worlds #3 as it was too confusing. The iFanboys agree this is standard for the Legion.
E-Mail:
00:43:45 - Don asks about if the iFanboys know about the awesome yet little known Untold Tales of Spider-Man. He also asks about 80's reprints and of X-Men: Alpha which kicked off the great Age of Apocalypse.
Voicemail:
00:50:45 - Brian from Richmond, VA wonders about Terry Dobson-esque cheesecake art. ‘Cuz he totally didn’t buy it for that!
Other Stuff:
00:56:14 - The iFanboys tie themselves in knots of verbal tenses trying to discuss NYCC and the "Hurm" shirts.
00:58:15 - The last day of the Coraline giveaway! There's a link to it in the show not -- no wait...
00:59:21 - The next video podcast is "Romance Comics."
