Lots of fun this week at Arkham Comics and Games.  First John and DJ start a new segment, Arkham Mail Bag, and they take a trip down memory lane.  Then John gets a saying a little bit backwards and DJ has a little trouble recovering.  So much fun, so many books and a great discussion on the NEW Hulu series Y The Last Man in Kryptonite.  Lets not waste any more time....  42, 39, 54  HIKE!

First appearances – There’s a whole bunch of first appearances this week, primarily in DC books. After seeing some hits in the Batman titles with new characters last year, it seems DC are attempting to dip into the same well again, throwing stuff at the wall to see if anything sticks.Aquaman The Beginning #1 – First DelugeBatman #113 – first full PeacekeeperBatman Adventures Continue Season 2 #4 – first MuscleFlash #774 – first Dr NightmareSuicide Squad King Shark – A whole bunch. Queen Tiger, King Roach, Prince Nematode, Princess Peregrine, Man King.
