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

Running Time: 00:59:00

Pick of the Week:

00:02:13 - Josh went with yet another sterling example of Jonah Hex for his Pick of the Week. Issue #27 was more grisliness.

Comics:

00:09:44 - He doesn't try to go against the grain, but Josh still didn't like Teen Titans: Year One #1 as much as everyone else did, Conor and Ron included.

00:14:12 - After some crossover lag, Conor lets us know that Paul Dini is back with an excellent issue with Detective Comics #840.

00:17:30 - It appears that "Messiah Complex" is still going on with Uncanny X-Men #494. Ron's loving it, and Conor's ready for things to get moving.

00:23:20 - Josh wasn't thrilled by The End League #1, and Ron was less un-thrilled, but still hopeful.

00:28:33 - Rick Remender offers a second title this week in Sorrow #3, which only Ron has read or knew anything about.

00:30:27 - The modern-swearing vikings are back in Brian Wood's Northlanders #2, and Ron and Josh are still mostly behind this one.

00:33:52 - Josh didn't love Lobster Johnson: The Iron Prometheus, but that last issue was pretty good.

00:35:31 - Countdown to Final Crisis #17 finally gets things moving. Plus, no ret-cons!

00:38:34 - Warren Ellis is back schilling for the man with Ultimate Human #1, and it was pretty swell. Scary Hulk!.

00:40:20 - It's another two-fer with Warren Ellis with Thunderbolts #118, who does some things good, and some things bad.

E-Mail:

00:42:32 - Andrew from Saugus, Massachusetts wants to know if more indie comics are going to leave him sad and alone.

00:45:57 - EGB D. has some continuity nit-picking, and gets shouted down, and everyone learns that they all deal with continuity glitches in their own way.

00:47:49 - Nick M. reveals why fans have to deal with Frank Cho's late books, and iFanboy checked, and he's right.

Voicemail:

00:51:15 - Chris from St. Louis, Missouri has good news! That latest issue of Iron Man was the first good issue in a while.

00:52:21 - Sam from Wisconsin drops some knowledge on Ron about when and where to start reading Star Wars comics.
