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. Like Conrad's Heart of Darkness, but with complaints about left hand panel stacking.Running Time: 01:17:54Pick of the Week:00:02:46 - Hey Kids!

Conor's gone on some sort of vacation, so Ryan Haupt joins Josh Flanagan and they talk and talk and talk. Mostly about comics! Josh tries to remember Secret Invasion, but doesn't. But he does remember Dimension Z. The fact is, he has a cold and it's all a white knuckle cognition adventure. Plus we narrowly avoid the "sandwich" question.Running Time: 01:15:59Pick of the Week:00:01:19 - Batman #52Comics:00:11:09 - Captain America #200:17:54 - Mister Miracle #1000:24:29 - Death of the Inhumans #200:33:11 - Paper Girls #2300:35:54 - The Quantum Age: From the World of Black Hammer #200:37:54 - Xerxes: The Fall of the House of Darius and the Rise of Alexander #500:40:30 - Cosmic Ghost Rider #200:44:12 - Leviathan #1Patron Pick:00:46:20 - The Seeds #1Patron Thanks:00:55:25 - Hal Kay00:57:13 - Eric Williamson00:58:56 - Paul Ruggiero01:01:14 - Roger PriestAudience Question:01:02:33 - Josh from Westchester, NY asks about paradigm shifting comic book runs.
