This week's iFanboy Pick of the Week is sponsored by Jim Hanley's Universe and NetFlix!

Running Time: 00:59:56

Pick of the Week:

00:01:11 - Conor's Pick of the Week came from out of left field, with Garth Ennis's Dan Dare #1, from Virgin Comics.

Comics:

00:11:20 - Conor's way down with Gotham Underground #2.

00:14:31 - 52 Aftermath: Crime Bible: The Five Lessons of Blood #2 was much better than the first issue, but still has the worst title current in comics.

00:18:59 - "One More Day" becomes a cruel and ironic title in The Sensational Spider-Man #41.

00:25:16 - Conor thought he had it, but then he lost it, with Faker #5.

00:27:40 - Ron wants you to read the Popgun, Vol. 1 Anthology. But it's big, so he'll let you know if it's any good after he reads it.

00:30:39 - Conor's the last man standing on Batman #671.

00:31:03 - Conor stands alone a bit more on Death of the New Gods #3.

00:32:07 - Chris Bachalo confuses some more on X-Men #205.

00:34:20 - One half of Countdown to Adventure #4 is fantastic. The other half? Not so much.

00:36:49 - Fear Agent #17 is back on the horse. The alien, robot horse.

E-Mails:

00:38:36 - Doculright wants to find the love for Marvel's Annihilation books.

00:40:25 - Glenn from Texas is feeling a bit in the doldrums about his books. Can we save a comic reader?!?

Voicemail:

00:48:30 - Rob from Detroit, Michigan tells us we missed out on the first two issues of Proof.
