I picked Avengers:The Initiative #15 as the best book that I read this week because it gave us a new and fresh look at the Secret Invasion and this continues to be one of the more consistently solid book at Marvel. Er also discuss Robin, Green Lantern Corps, Two-Face Year One and more. After seeing the trailer for Watchmen, I finally sat down and read the book and Eric and I discuss what we think of Alan Moore's masterpiece and we finish off the show with all the new and crazy news coming out of this year's Comic-Con.Subscribe on itunes here!Or download the podcast directly here(Right click....save as)

April 5, 2007 - Dan Slott brough it with Avengers: The Initiative #1 and Ron ate it up . Justice Leaugue of America #7 almost was the pick, but boy did Conor dislike it. Meanwhile Josh thoroughly enjoyed Runaways #25 and Whedon continues his streak of quality with Buffy The Vampire Slayer #2. Also listener e-mail and voicemail is answered as well!
