Max is back in the co-host chair for our post Comic-Con episode and we’re keeping it quick this week and only reviewing the books—we’ve saved the comic book conversation for a super-sized Comic Con News episode. However, we do take a few minutes to discuss the recently leaked Avengers teaser and the first few preview pages of Justice League #1.
The show is embedded below and is now available on iTunes for subscription. Each episode will labeled "podcast" so you can link to previous episodes here on the blog. Refer to the Show Notes after the jump as well as a direct link to download the MP3.
Cape Town Comic Discussion
00:09:29 Daredevil #1: There is nothing but love for Mark Waid, Paolo Rivera and Marco Martin’s triumphant take on the Man Without Fear.
00:16:47 Ultimate Fallout #2: Brian Michael Bendis is joined by Jonathan Hickman and Nick Spencer as they begin to plant the seeds of the Ultimate U and we like what they’re giving us.
00:20:46 Avengelyne #1: This book is a winner! Unfortunately the prize is titled “Worst of the Week.”
00:24:21 Flashpoint: Wonder Woman and the Furies #2: We’re disappointed with the rushed feel of the artwork.
00:27:59 Flashpoint: Deadman and the Flying Graysons #2: J.T. Krul’s story stumbles a bit in this second outing, but the art stumbles more.
00:30:29 X-Men #15: The close of “First to Last” is solid, if a little anticlimactic.
00:34:10 Uncanny X-Men #541: We’re all for this Fear Itself crossover.
00:37:59 Fear Itself: FF #1: This issue carries on the tradition of (mostly) unsatisfying Fear Itself minis and one-shots.
00:42:13 Avengers #15: Chris Bachalo’s work is always welcome on the Avengers.
00:45:15 Invincible Iron Man #506: This is a #@%$! good book!

Thanks for the hilarious review of our book. I sort of love how Avengelyne can get rave reviews from some people and "worst of the week" from others. All my favorite movies and comics are divisive like that. I'd love it if you guys could continue to review our future issues, not just because I think we get 100x better with each issue, but also because it's helpful to hear contrary opinions, especially if they are as funny as you guys. We're trying to capture the fun of over the top 90's comics while looking like nothing else on the stands. I actually think you guys grasped the pulpy b-movie horror tone of the book for the most part, now you just need to give in and let yourselves enjoy it. :) Thanks for the review, hope to hear more.
Thanks Owen! We'll pick up the second issue and try to give in (I promise)! I always tell people that a review is a subjective thing--we got slammed a few times for not liking 'X-Men: First Class' when just about everyone else did. Again, thanks for taking the time to listen!
