Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in!" Richie Garofalo (not Michael Corleone) referring to James, Chirs and Joe after they wax poetic about Nightwing and Batman/Superman:World's Finest, in the latest Book Club Edition episode.
   The Fab Four are back to ponder, pontificate, and pursue the merits of two of DC Comics' best-selling current ongoing books:Tom Taylor and Bruno Redondo's Nightwing and Mark Waid and Dan Mora's Batman/Superman
World's Finest.
    The boys do a deep dive into the inaugural runs on these two very popular comics. The themes of family, friends, and fun are explored in detail. Who's there to pick up Dick Grayson up when he falls? Who made Dick the hero and man he is today? How deep is the friendship between

    And with the current run of Taylor and Redondo's Nightwing  coming to an end, along with Waid and Mora moving over to Justice League Unlimited, who will be taking the reins of these two fan-favorite
titles?
