  1. IFanboy brought to you by Superman.

  2. Josh’s joy at recounting the Kang lore he had researched was delightful. I hope Kang Corner is a reoccurring segment.

    The nice thing about The Walking Dead was it was consistent. It’s frustrating when books like Saga or Low go on hiatus because I may or may not notice when the book comes back. Also I probably lost the story thread in the interim so I have to go back and reread the last few issues. I would argue this sort of thing hurts Image’s line up. It makes me want to wait for the trades. I wonder if that’s true for the majority of the prospective Image buying audience.

    Low came back for a couple issues in the Spring, but I almost didn’t notice and I love that book. It’s still fantastic.

  3. I noticed that Josh mentioned having seen Gurihiru’s art before but never followed up on where? Was it Gwenpool? I was surprised by how much I liked that series (Since I’m not a Deadpool or Gwen Stacy fan) but it quickly became my favorite series of the past decade (maybe ever).

    I always thought you guys would like it but I also assumed the title turned you away so it would be really cool to hear that Josh read it at some point!
