A Comic Show #9 – “Wah Wah Wah!”

Aaron and Mike from A Comic Shop in Florida run down this week’s comics. Yes, yes, they get to read them all before you. Live with it!

And this week, the guys go a bit DC-crazy with a big name dropping of personal friend of Aaron’s, Tony Bedard and his Brightest Day Green Lantern Corps/R.E.B.E.L.S. work.

Secret Avengers #1 also gets major props with a money back guarantee from the guys – and they explain, rather graphically, why a love for “poop” makes for a good husband and father.

Nothing but class from these guys.
