iFanboy - Comic Books Pick of the Week #143 – Uncanny X-Men #500
We're in San Diego for Comic Con, and in between our hectic con schedules, we gathered to record an abbreviated Pick of the Week. Running a little shorter than usual, we talk this week's comics and that's all. We'll be back at full strength/length next week! No show notes though, we'll try to get them done when we get back from San Diego.
Running Time - 00:35:48
Guest Show Notes by Tork! Thanks Tork!
Pick of the Week:
00:02:53 - Ron chooses Uncanny X-Men #500 as his Pick of Week... we think...
Comics:
00:10:54 - Rucka does unspeakable things to Daredevil #109 but that's okay because it was awesome.
00:13:04 - Cyclops has a jet pack... and that's just silly.
00:13:23 - Liberty Comics gives the CBLDF benefit and gives you Hulk balls... wait, that came out wrong...
00:15:13 - Mark Millar churns out military action superhero style once again with War Heroes #1.
00:17:54 - The New Avengers #43 (otherwise known as Secret Invasion Weekly #17 or so) probably isn't very popular in the PETA offices this week.
00:21:50 - The Immortal Iron Fist #17 somehow manages to still be good without Brubaker and Fraction though Ron did not love the art.
00:23:48 - Ron and Conor amuse themselves with British pseudo-profanity while Josh talks of his love for Dan Dare #7.
00:25:30 - Conor enjoyed the art of the mysterious Juan Doe on Joker's Asylum: Scarecrow but don't ask him what the story was about quite yet.
00:26:17 - James Robinson gives Superman #678 Kirby dots and random Zatanna references but Josh has faith all will make sense soon.
00:27:50 - Conor would talk of Green Lantern Corps #26 and Two-Face: Year One #1 but something called a "con" prevented him from reading either yet.
News:
00:28:45 - The iFanboys give their reflections of the San Diego Comic-Con: Conor burned his head, Gordon scared the poo out of Ron, and Josh got the rickets.
