[caption id="" align=“alignleft” width=“180” caption=“Seriously, this comic has some awesomely gross art.”] [/caption] The Defenders #2 - Remains the funniest mainstream book I’ve been regularly keeping up with. Lots of fun. X-23 #20 - I thought this was the last issue, but apparently it’s the penultimate. Pretty good friendship issue between Laura and Jubilee. It was an absolute joy to have Phil Noto back. Irredeemable #33 - The crossover event continues. What a stupid-crazy last page! I almost don’t like it because of how out of left field it was. It’s gonna mean neat things for the story. ...

Too bad Phil Noto isn’t still on it… ...

Dan: Electric Boogaloo Eric: You feeling good about your selection? Dan: Oh, totally Eric: So this week I decided to go with Amazing Spider-Man #673. This was somewhat of a tough choice for me because it’s an epilogue to a long Spider-Man event but I thought it also worked really well on its own. Also, it just so happened to be the best of all the books this week. ...
