WHAT A WORLD WE LIVE IN?! The boys are talking about Marvels Mortal Thor from Al Ewing & Pasqual Ferry, with covers by Alex Ross. Next up, Mastermind out on Dark Horse from Zack Kaplan and Stephen Thompson. Immortal Legend Batman from the Radiant Black crew. AND FINALLY!!! My most anticipated book of the week is James Tynion, Brad Simpson and Dani taking on the Invisible Man as the next entry into Image Comics Universal Monsters set of mini-series. Have a safe and lovely holiday weekend to our US folks. We'll see you next week with another episode or two!
