Pick of the Week Podcast
Show Notes
After the haze and delirium of episode #350, the guys are back to the regular show, and Ron Richards’ got his letter writing hat and something to say! We can say that there are a lot of comics to talk about, and in some of those comics, there are a lot of genitals. Sit in, and find the secret of Conor Kilpatrick’s full name. Also: Michael Bolton and Kenny G! “This will not stand!”

Comic’s take a backseat to the NFL(to me)… but I hope this is good for a half-time run.
I’m embarassed by how much I love the song Purple Rain.
Excellent choice, person that picks the opening song. Excellent.
I was laughing to myself when I wrote the Black Kiss II review. I’m glad the guys appreciated the jokes. As was suggested I read the book again and I agree that there is a definite story; but, I still wouldn’t give it more than a 3/5. I’ll be sure to read #3 more than once before I review it again.
Thanks to Ron, Josh and Connor for the excuse I can now give my wife: I’m reading it so I can review it.
I know Conor and Ron didn’t say “Ratings, ratings” or give their rating for the book like they did for the number one issues, but is it possible to do this for all of the first Marvel NOW issues ?
I second this!
Damn shame about Near Death. It was one of my favorite ongoings. I’m really hoping we see more someday.
In the meantime, I will definitely be checking out Point of Impact.
We should have a segment where Josh reviews a title he doesn’t want to read. Because with his now begrudging readings of Black Kiss II….the comedy you could mine would be amazing.
I love that you talked about Punisher! It has been so awesome since the start!
The Darwyn Cooke issue of Solo from DC is totally worth checking out too, the best one from that run (although that whole series is great, and needs a collection).
I’ll just leave this here:

Glad you are commenting on Before Watchmen, I wondered about the Alan Moore book, I might have to go back and pick that up.
The bit where Ron discovered the Allred cover online was one of my favourite iFanboy moments ever.
Great show, guys. (I loved the Allred cover showing up too. That was great.) Excellent reviews and great choices for the books.
One thing I was surprised not to hear mentioned was that Howard Chaykin had a letter published in Hawkeye #2’s letters column praising the first issue! I thought given how much Chaykin and Hawkeye have both been celebrated recently, that letter would definitely get a mention. Not so!
Thanks for a quality show and I look forward to the next edition.
What happened in Erik Larsen’s Savage Dragon letters column?
