Comics:
00:11:20 - Conor's way down with Gotham Underground #2.
00:14:31 - 52 Aftermath: Crime Bible: The Five Lessons of Blood #2 was much better than the first issue, but still has the worst title current in comics.
00:18:59 - "One More Day" becomes a cruel and ironic title in The Sensational Spider-Man #41.
00:25:16 - Conor thought he had it, but then he lost it, with Faker #5.
00:27:40 - Ron wants you to read the Popgun, Vol. 1 Anthology. But it's big, so he'll let you know if it's any good after he reads it.
00:30:39 - Conor's the last man standing on Batman #671.
00:31:03 - Conor stands alone a bit more on Death of the New Gods #3.
00:32:07 - Chris Bachalo confuses some more on X-Men #205.
