Pick of the Week Podcast
Show Notes
Sometimes, “it was a good book” is all you can manage, and that’s cool. Sometimes. This week, we go through the books, and say what was right about a lot of them, and what was wrong with the rest. We have some character growth as well, which helps our individual arcs.

Josh is indeed correct: James Stokoe and Brandon Graham both live in Vancouver and are friends. (Graham is doing the cover for Orc Stain #8, if memory serves.)
Wow, Fearless Readers is sponsoring you guys? That’s awesome. I find crazy awesome deals there (though I had to stop because I have no room left). I would like to co-sign the iFanboy ad.
http://www.dccomics.com/vertigo/comics/?cm=21501 Looking at this cover, I’m thinking the bones are Catcher.
Thankfully the boys from Jackass has kept the Rip Taylor legacy alive for a few minutes.
I remember my dad had to explain who he was after watching one of the movies cause he didn’t make a lick of sense to me. Now I wish I carried confetti everywhere when I go out.
For quite a while ORC STAIN had the highest POTW percentage. I was really hoping it would come out on top. Still, a good chunk of iFanbase seemed to enjoy it, so I guess people DO recognize a good thing, when they see it. Gronch!
Don’t forget Dark Reign: Fantastic Four, Hickman’s first actual work on the characters.
You should check out Voltron Force, which kinda picks up several years in the future. I’ve been enjoying it big time. The only show better than that has been Thundercats, which has been an AMAZING reboot of the franchise. Frankly, the new Thundercats cartoon has really interesting themes that seem more complex than a kid might necessarily appreciate.
