This week we're analyzing House of M, to continue our WandaVision-inspired comic reads. This 2005 Marvel Comic's event, done by Brian Michael Bendis and Oliver Coipel, tells the story of how the Scarlet Witch uses her powers to create a world in which mutants are in charge, by rewriting reality and the memories of the Avengers and X-Men.

Check out our new comic picks this week, mentioned in our No Comic Shop For Old Men segment (00:53:44), below:

Inspired by the recent episodes of WandaVision, we're taking a look at  Young Avengers (Vol.1), created by Allan Heinberg & Jim Cheung.

In addition, the crew also broke a tiebreaker between Brian Bolland & Dave Gibbons, to announce the winner of the next artist spotlight (00:42:59 ), and talked about some of the best new/recent comics, out right now (00:46:43).
