...I'll probably touch on most of that.  Should be a fun one!

Probably not this week...

I'm unlikely to record a podcast this week.  I have a toothache that is causing my gums to swell and talking isn't much fun right now.  So I'll do some write-ups over the next couple of days, and barring any further oral disturbances, I'll record one NEXT week.

Thanks for your understanding.

Until I can do the full write-ups, here's a list of comic books I bought this week...

• Morning Glories - Issue #12
• Justice League International #1
• Detective Comics #1
• iZombie - "uVampire" trade
• Brightest Day hardcover

...expensive week!
