In which Esad Ribic is the best at Doom; Star-Lord and Kitty Pryde is the best at fun; and you are probably underestimating the importance of colorists.

REVIEWED:

  • Secret Wars #5 (00:58)
  • *Star-Lord and Kitty Pryde #2 (05:16)
  • Year of Future Past #4 (08:08)

*Pick of the Week (12:45)

NOTE: To the best of our knowledge, no actual murder has occurred in the Murder Basement. It’s just kind of generally terrifying.

Week of August 5, 2015:

In which we introduce Castle Sexy Dracula and (briefly) lose Miles to a scheduling S.N.A.F.U.; the kids are pretty into Giant-Size Little Marvel AvX; we’re pretty into X-Men ’92; and whether or not you’re pretty into Age of Apocalypse will probably depend on when you started reading X-Men.

REVIEWED:

  • Giant-Size Little Marvel AvX #3 (00:59)
  • *X-Men ’92 Infinite Comic #6 (2:43)
  • Age of Apocalypse #2 (5:16)

In which there are suddenly a lot of books; stuff goes down in Secret Wars; Giant-Size Little Marvel remains delightful; and Doc Sampson trumps noir Wolverine.

In which the fact that we’re biased doesn’t mean we’re not also right; we disagree about which Silent Hill game makes the best metaphor for E is for Extinction; and Miles probably does not actually have the Legacy Virus.

REVIEWED:

  • Uncanny Avengers #5 (3:01)
  • *X-Men ’92 Infinite Comic #3 (5:17)
  • E Is for Extinction #1 (7:18)

*Pick of the Week (13:20)

In which force lightning is probably gratuitous, Old Man Logan continues to be intriguing, and we continue to be huge dorks.

REVIEWED:

  • Magneto #19 (00:26)
  • Old Man Logan #2 (03:37)

Pick of the Week: Thors #1 (05:12)

In which one series ends better than another, Marguerite Bennett is your god now, and Secret Wars continues to be a suspiciously well-constructed summer event.

  • Giant-Size Little Marvel AvX #1 (11:04)
