We talk through a lot of great comics, run the Picks of the Week by the numbers, and then if you’re not a Band of Brothers fan, you might want to skip the end bit. We don’t recommend this course of action. It’s the last regular show of the year! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Band of Brothers, Scooby-Doo, Friday Night Lights, drugs, and Conor’s sex comic! Also we go with the more traditional “talking about comics” routine.

After the 5th week last week, comics are back this week, and we're here to talk about fun, and the culmination of Stan Lee's fantasy. Not that one. We're not even sick of talking about new, excellent Marvel #1 issues, so off we go. Josh will try very hard to get on topic, with little success. Learn more about your ad choices.

The culmination of Mike Costa's "Arms of Doctor Octopus" caper takes the gold in a typically oddball fifth week of comics.

Mike Romo is here! Mike Romo is here! Paul took a powder this week, and we forge ahead, some of us broadcasting from a car in the garage, triggering grim deja vu. The comics were hot and the car kept getting hotter, but we've got books of the week, and most of them were #1 issues. We check in on some of the comics announced at New York Comicon as well, and weigh in well before it's wise. Also, we...

Something must be in the water, or maybe in the air, but whatever the reason, it's a meandering episode of the Pick of the Week Podcast as Conor Kilpatrick, Josh Flanagan, and Paul Montgomery discuss the week that was in comic books, as well as the dangers of Times Square, the final season of The Wire, and the proper pronunciation of a certain New England fish.

Here, the man beneath the cowl is both mythic and utterly human, an enigmatic soul dedicated to a safe...

On this alarmingly sexy edition of the Pick of the Week Podcast, Josh Flanagan, Conor Kilpatrick and Paul Montgomery get all hot and bothered over a teetering tower of terrific comics books. Conor selects a (quite frankly) brutal bit of superhero deconstruction for the lead discussion. Later, the guys talk two potential television projects from DC Entertainment, then wander down memory lane to rem...

The Marvel Studios Movie Universe expands to the small screen with the debut of Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.! Paul Montgomery and Conor Kilpatrick team-up to discuss the pilot episode--what worked and what didn't work? How was the cast? And what about Agent Coulson, who was last seen bleeding out on the floor of the S.H.I.E.L.D. helicarrier? All of that plus speculation on what we'll see in fut...

A new era unfolds, but much remains the same.

Total Running Time: 01:06:36 You're pretty much gonna be talking about what happens at the end, but before all of that, there's a lot of great comic book discussion. Also, Josh is laid low with a cold, and a deep sense of denial. If you like greek yogurt, you should probably skip this one. Also: the Junk Reading and threats! Learn more about your ad choices.
