Pick of the Week #26 – Ultimate Spider-Man #93
This week Josh Flanagan tells us why he thought Ultimate Spider-Man #93 was the best of the lot. We also discuss an iffy Superman, a strange creative pairing on Green Arrow, and of course, more Loveless. Some listener letters go over comic book prices, physics, and where to buy your books. Conor Kilpatrick's got a cold, and Ron Richards is away this week, yet iFanboy soldiers on.
