Pick of the Week #64 – Ultimate X-Men #78

iFanboy is sick. The plague has ripped through iFanboy, but sick or not, we're podcasting! Ron picked Ultimate X-Men #78, but it was a tough call because Ultimate Spider-Man #104, 52 Week 7 and Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes #5 were also good. Also, we talk Absolute DC: The New Frontier and our new video podcast. We also answer listener email and voicemails.
