Pick of the Week #7 - X-Factor #1
Yes, oh yes, Ron can finally relax, as he celebrates the release of X-Factor #1 as his Pick of the Week. Marvel's What If...? and Secret War are the duds of the week. We read some listener e-mail and answer their questions and Josh realizes he completely missed out on Alex Robinson's graphic novel Tricked.
