Pick of the Week #68 – Batman #663
Conor polarizes the iFanboy community with his pick of Batman #663, but Ron and Josh are on board. Justice Society of America #3 was good, Thunderbolts #111 -- not so much. But none were as fun as Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes #6. We also answer listener email and voicemails.
