We thought most of this week’s books were good, but were surprised by the turnaround on Superman.

Cape Town Comic Discussion
00:03:05 Wolverine #5.1: Don and Jerry both agreed that this was a stronger issue without the party scene.
00:11:30 Ultimate Comics Spider-Man#153: Don was hoping for a little more training in the training sequences, but this was still a good issue of UCSM.
00:17:48 The Flash #9: Don liked this issue more than Jerry, but both agreed that Hot Pursuit is not a spectacular superhero name.
00:26:20 Batman and Robin #20: Peter Tomasi and Patrick Gleason are off to a strong start—but will it end too soon?
00:33:51 Ultimate Comics New Avengers vs. The Ultimates #1: We noticed some continuity gaffes but enjoyed the story—especially the art by Leinil Yu.
00:40:52 Batgirl #18: Jerry enjoyed the story more than Don, but we agreed that this book is the pleasant antithesis of most of the Bat books.
00:50:24 Superman #708: Finally! A good issue of the “Grounded” storyline!

01:02:58 We’re excited that Michael Rosenbaum is reprising his role as Lex Luthor for the Smallville series finale!
01:08:28 We discuss what happened with the San Diego Comic-Con ticket fiasco and how attendees might be compensated for their troubles.
