Comics:
00:13:54 - Josh is fairly certain that he really liked The New Avengers #36. Ron and Conor had no such qualms.
00:18:12 - Did anyone else see what happened to Spider-Man in Avengers: Initiative this week?.
00:23:05 - X-Factor #24 made Ron even happier about the giant X-Men crossover, "The Messiah Complex."
00:26:20 - So....World War Hulk is over. But how about those sound effects?!
00:29:17 - Wolverine #59 makes Ron ask why hasn't Marc Guggenheim been the regular writer on Wolverine all along?
00:30:43 - Ron and Conor are over the moon about Green Arrow and Black Canary #2, and Conor has some bad news for Michael Lark.
00:33:30 - Booster Gold #4 is starting to rub Ron the wrong way just a bit.
00:36:14 - Conor is all hot and bothered by Chuck Dixon's return to Batman with Batman and the Outsiders #1.
00:37:55 - DC is on a roll, because Teen Titans East also made Conor happy.
00:40:06 - Finally, Conor almost can't take the great issue of Nightwing #138. It might just be too much good DC this week.
