  1. In regards to the Amazing Spiderman. It is actually still on with the three weeks on one week off but the first issue of this three week run was the closing up of the freak storyline and then this arc started.

  2. Yay Darrel’s back!

  3. Hey, I called Grand Dirtector, too!  I want my props, dang it!!!  Heh.

  4. Director*

  5. Great show as always, guys.

    I dunno about best single issue since ’91, but Spawn #10 definitely gave me more to think about than Y #1 did. I read it when it came out in ’93; it was completely different than anything else I had ever read before. Or since, really. I remember that used to be my favorite comic when I was like 12 or 13. And I wasn’t a big Spawn fan. Spawn really has little to do with the issue–it’s really underrated, if you guys haven’t read it. The narration is just so ominous at times, and Cerebus is such a great foil. 

    How amazing that so many #1 issues were clustered near the top of Wizard’s list. It’s almost like they just picked the #1 issues of their favorite series or something. And Sandman #’s 69 and 75 were both much more amazing than #50 (I think Wizard’s just keeping up appearances, because I seem to remember they picked #50 on some other best-of list quite a while ago, when I used to read Wizard. (In issue 60, maybe?) I guess THINGS NEED TO BE RANKED and they NEED TO STAY IN THEIR HIERARCHY A-L-W-A-Y-S.

  6. DDevil 1964 is right. it did come out three times this week the first week was just a lame one shot with freak (that i didn’t buy)

  7. The fangirls of the Internet thank Conor for mentioning both the Stephanie Brown-memorial controversy, and Nightwing’s ass.

    We haven’t decided how we feel about the Kitty Pryde pregnancy hypothetical.

    /speaking in collective first person

  8. wat

  9. Greatest POW podcast ever!! The Ron and Josh stand up act on Red Skull was epic.
