We also get an exclusive first look at Taschen Books’ upcoming 75 YEARS OF DC COMICS: THE ART OF MODERN MYTHMAKING (special thanks to Sarah Boyd of Taschen) and feast on a glut of other books: THE NOBODY by Aaron’s favorite cartoonist, Jeff Lemire; DAYTRIPPERS by Ba & Moon, ORC STAIN by James Stokoe, ULTIMATE COMICS AVENGERS Vol. 1 – NEXT GENERATION by Millar & Pacheco, SCARLET #1 by Bendis & Maleev, PEEPO CHOO by Meltcast fave Felipe Smith, BATMAN #701 by Morrison & Daniel, THE SIXTH GUN by Cullen Bunn & Brian Hurtt, THE MAN WITH THE GETAWAY FACE by Darwyn Cooke, SUPERMAN #701 from JMS & Eddie Barrows, GIRL COMICS #3, and AVENGERS ACADEMY by Gage & McKone.
Reunited… and you know the rest.

Topics include whether Amanda Conner is drawing too many (or too few) panty shots of Power Girl, except this week we have a female to balance out the testosterone, and balance is nice.

The gang also discusses new (and old) releases including more PHONOGRAM, a (whole) lot of THOR, and SWORD (all by the excellent Kieron Gillon), BLACKEST NIGHT madness from DC, GREEN LANTERN, DAYTRIPPERS by Gabrial Ba and Fabian Moon, and a brief smattering of new releases including PUNISHERMAX #2, GHOST RIDER, REALM OF KINGS: IMPERIAL GUARD and others. Aaron finally reads the wonderful first six issues of ALL-STAR SUPERMAN, and we discuss Frank Quietly and some of his past projects.

Music by Tyrese… mmh hmm bringing the sexy…
