Yay! Episode #16 arrives with a semi-lengthy discussion of a dearly departed Marvel title called X-Factor written by Peter David for quite some time. Neil discusses why he has loved this book for so long and Matt is now itching to read it since picking up an issue from a few years ago. Next is the return of the Comic Swap where Matt and Neil discuss Battle of the Atom #1 written by Brian Michael Bendis with Frank Cho doing the art. This is another winner with high marks from both the guys. Matt chooses to have Neil pick up the villain book Grodd or Flash 23.1 for review. This one is written by Brian Buccellato and art is done by Chris Batista. Both Matt and Neil enjoy this, but this leads into a larger discussion about alternate realities and more importantly time travel. With that in mind the Special Feature focuses on time travel in comics: Great storyline enhancer or not? Hope you enjoy the show.
