Pick of the Week Podcast

iFanboy, Greatest Comic Book Podcast That Will Ever exist.
Great Doctor Strange stories you may not have thought about:
* The infinity Gauntlet: The Doc is a MAJOR character in this crossover.
* Doctor Strange: The flight of bones 1-4 (not collected. Marvel get on that): Tony Harris did the first 2 issues but did not finish (and probably the reason that this book is not collected)
* Doctor STrange from the vault one shot: Brilliant one shot issue that tells you why this character is a GREAT character
* Marvel Masterpieces: Doctor Strange Vol 1 and 2: STEVE DITKO Dr.Strange. Gorgeous art and really shows how a story can be told over 8 pages.
Love the show and love the song selection!
Thanks for answering my question guys! Keep up the good work love the show, and thanks for the additional info @g0ofgnewt i will check some of that stuff out
@Neeks No problems mate. I’m a huge Dr.Strange fan
Oh and I forgot Dr.Strange/Doctor Doom: Triumph and Terror. Mike Mignola art!
Torment not terror (oh to have an edit function…)
“How was the podcast?” “It was great, Josh was naming people who committed genocide of the top of his head.”
And Ron, in the early days the sentiment was, “Swear away, it’s the fucking internet.” Now you’re apologizing in case there’s kids listening. I did not agree to download a podcast with standards.
On a serious note, whenever you guys get a “What’s the deal with ____” question, you should really direct people to the awesome “Where Do I Start?” series Chris Arrant has been doing for you guys. There’s a Dr. Strange one here.
@ABirdseysView We’re growing respectable in our old age.
Also, I was thinking of Chris’ articles, but I honestly didn’t think he’d done Strange. Sometimes I lose track myself.
@josh Although in your defence it does not make your answer any less valid.
you know, it’s sounds like you’re saying Sir Pentor, not Serpentor. Sir Pentor is proberly a nice dude
@edward Sir Pentor sounds like he hangs out in the club with Wooster, drinking and playing darts in a Whodehouse story.
I have to repeat myself here and say that it’s about time Venom started getting the recognition it deserves.
Another great show, Venom seems to have passed me by but I’ll be sure to check out issue #5
Also, gotta love the song selection of Fucked Up this week!!
Never seen G.I. Joe in my life, but I was crying with laughter during that segment.
In case anyone really needs it.

Watch this video right now. THIS. I COMMAND.
@Latimagic Man is he a bossy f*ck. That’s gotta get old.
@kennyq I imagine he’s kind of a dick during the company softball games, but they like him because he plays a good LF and hits doubles.
I just don’t get Ron & Conor’s disapproval of Mark Brooks on X-Force, i think he’s awesome!
But they love Jock, and Jock just looks like scribble-scrabble to me. ( sigh ) To each his own. lol
I have to wonder if Rememender has actually read Age of Apocaplypse.
Yes it’s an alternative universe but the one he’s portraying is Not AoA.
Orange Hulk- Iron Ghost? AoA had different versions of 616 characters but they were slightly different or never took on their traditional roles for Tony Stark died in the early restance never really becoming Iron Man or anything like it-
These new characters here look more like Amalgam comics than AoA.
Amazing how opinions differ. Connor mentioned the thing dragged the book down was the art. I LOVE Mark Brooks’ art and think the book took a step up when he came aboard.
Just my take.
@Latimagic AWESOME!!!
and Serpentor. SIGH!
One of the greatest moments in comics – when Zartan put that amazing long range arrow right in Serpentor’s face!
By the way, Thanks for using my review guys! Awesome.
Hey just thought I would mention, that zombie sentry is actually not a new idea, in the marvel zombies series, the plague is spread to that world by a zombie sentry.
I haven’t read this issue of xfactor yet, but I woul dbe more curious if his zombie-ism is contagious or not. If so how is it contained?
