It starts off punchy, and then eventually gets to hazy. But in the middle is some genuine comics analysis and introspection, and some damn fine books out this week. Jim Viscardi (comicbook.com) fills in for a recreating Conor Kilpatrick, and tries valiantly to hold on while Josh Flanagan descends into fatigue based insanity.

Conor Kilpatrick, once again on walkabout, requires Josh Flanagan to bring in guest host and old pal, Jim Viscardi from Comicbook.com.

Okay, first of all, Josh Flanagan was traveling this week so sitting in for him is iFanboy buddy and grand poobah of ComicBook.com, Jim Viscardi. Second, Ron Richards was also traveling this week but he dialed in from his hotel and therefore his audio isn’t that great. We apologize for the hum. Third, there’s a lot of Star Wars talk this week. Like, a lot. Get used to it–we’ve got a long way to go until December 18th. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Conor is in the wind, and Jim Viscardi of comicbook.com and Let’s Talk Comics ably joins the fray with Josh Flanagan, who has trouble keeping time, and is worried what Conor will say on his return. But there is agreement on the Pick of the Week, and many good new comics out this week that need vigorous discussion. Mostly vigorous anyway. There are also a whole lot of #1 issues.

Paul Montgomery is away somewhere, so his media rival Jim Viscardi has taken up the chair, and has been forced to endure the antics and bad french of Conor Kilpatrick and Josh Flanagan. And yet, as always, there will be comics talk, unshakable references to television from the 90s, and nearly genuine camaraderie. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
