Comics did it to us again. Multiple contenders for Pick of the Week status, and plenty of good books to talk about fill up the show very quickly and easily. There's a dash of nostalgia and the continuing conversation about what we as individual readers expect from comics, and if that's OK. Can't they just be superheroes, though? And is it OK to want that? Also, we tease an all-media podcast we might just record.
