iFanboy - Comic Books

It's time for a generationally huge week of comics. Had we read these in physical form, their bulk would have required building permits and licensed forklift operators. As it is, Conor's iPad is almost too hot to touch. There are, however, many artistic goodies to be found among them, as we celebrate these riches. Oh, and do you hear that ringing in the distance?
