This week is all about The Wolverine, the latest from 20th Century Fox. We do a non-spoilery discussion about our thoughts on the movie and then (with LOTS of warning) we break down the film WITH spoilers, so make sure you to pay attention for that segway if you haven't seen the movie yet.

And of course, we discuss our lives, the news and our favourite comic books of the week which include: Steed and Mrs. Peel, Rocketeer and Spirit: Pulp Friction, Amazing Spider-Man, Amala’s Blade, Batman 66, Superior Spider-Man, Gamma, Hunger, Hawkeye Annual, Young Avengers and more.

On this week's show, we discuss all the big news to come out of San Diego Comic Con (SDCC) and there is a LOT of good things to bring up.

Bobby also regails us with some stories from his trip to Israel (the reason why we were away for a couple of weeks).

We also go through a long list of our favourite (and also not so favourite) Books of the Week. Some of those titles include: World’s Finest, Red She-Hulk, Fearless Defenders, Avengers Assemble, Batgirl, A+X, She-Hulk Diaries, Joe the Barbarian, Locke & Key, Y: The Last Man, Red Sonja, JLA, Quantum and Woody, Sheltered, Ghosted, Superior Foes of Spider-Man and more.

This week we're doing an all-new segment for you that we hope to continue on as a regular monthly special. Today we bring you the first edition of: Talking Comics Radio Theatre!

Thaaat's right! The whole gang (Bobby, Steve, Bob and Stephanie) read you a couple of comics from the good ol' days. They started things off with Whiz Comics #2 (and you'll get a history lesson from Bob too!) and then work our way into Captain Marvel Adventures #18... the first appearance of Mary Marvel! HOLY MOLEY!

If you want to follow along with the comics as we read them (voice acting and all!), make sure you visit the awesome folks over at Comic Book Plus.

This is the [link for Whiz Comics #2](http://comicbookplus.com/?dlid=20715) and this is the [link for Captain Marvel Adventures #18](http://comicbookplus.com/?dlid=15858).

Our fearless leader, Bobby, is away for some rather fancy business so we are bringing you a shortened show that's not our regular thing, but we hope you will enjoy it nonetheless.

This week we bring you an oral history of the Fantastic Four with Mr. Bob Reyer and even though we don't really have Books of the Week so instead, we decide to take you Off the Beaten Path and introduce you to some comics that we haven't talked about on the show yet. I won't spoil anything for you, but take a listen and learn about some new comics that you may or may not want to check out in the future.

This week's show is a bit different since Bobby is off on exotic (work related) adventures. He'll be away for a couple of weeks, but don't fret and don't you frown! We will still be bringing you weekly podcasts in his absence - and some really special ones at that...

On this week's show, the internet cuts out for a little bit and Stephanie gets kicked off the line, but in the meantime before her [triumphant] return, the guys talk about Daredevil, Hawkeye, Strange Attractors, Lazarus, Batman/Superman, Age of Ultron #10 A.I. and upon Stephanie's [triumphant] return she brings up The Wake, Aquaman, X-Men, Jupiter's Legacy, Batman/Superman and a few others.

Our Topic of the Week is the gang talking about the great things on in the comic book industry. We read out some more comments and questions from you, our wonderful listeners and try to bring things back to a happy place.

Tons of news gets discussed such as Jim Carrey’s controversial comments on Kick-Ass 2, Dr. Strange and more. We also take the time to discuss Naughty Dog’s latest game, The Last Of Us (even Bob chimes in… sort of).

And some of our Books of the Week for this last hot, humid week of June include: Batman and Batgirl, Mara, Brother Lono, Age of Ultron, Last Of Us (the comic!), Amala’s Blade, 6 Barrel Shotgun and Battlepug (aka the BEST COMIC EVER… really, go read it right now), My Little Pony, Doctor Strange: The Doctor Is Out, FF, X-Factor, Captain Marvel and more.
