    As always great show. I still need to read Batman so I skipped over that part, but glad to hear it got a six pack across the board.

    I agree that Saga is one of the best books right now. Definitely make sure I make it to my LCS when it comes out. And reading BKV’s description of that monster he sent to Fiona was awesome. I would love to see a collective aCBL letter in the back of Saga. That would be great.

    While I agree that we are probably seeing the decline of Vertigo, there are books still being announced. American Vampire is apparently only half done, but taking a year off so Rafael Albuquerque can draw more of the last half. Also there is a new Jeff Lemire title coming out from Vertigo called Trillium. Just letting you know that you there still are a few things coming out from them. And maybe Trillium will be Lemire’s next Sweet Tooth… maybe it will be even better? Who knows…

      Read Batman >:(!! (attempt at angry face)

      Trillium unfortunately isn’t going to be an ongoing series but I’m definately going to get it, I hope Lemire does another ongoing though, I really want Vertigo to stay around, I know Fables isn’t going to stop anytime soon and either is Unwritten, but it’s sad to see it shrink to such a small company,

    Bravo, another great issue. Batman and all bat related titles are killing it right now. Snyder is probably the best batman writer ever, thats write, ever!!! Luther Strode remains the most badass comic character i’ve ever read. And just watched Django a couple days ago, its totally TITTS!!!!! Only read the first 4 issues of saga but I plan to read the rest. If I could give a shout out to any titles right now it would be Chew, Invincible and Last But Not Least “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles” which has been consistently good from beginning to end.

    • -Jon (of aCBL) says:

      Okay so with Django being totally TITTS do you think I’ll like it? ;) hahaha jk

      I’ll have to check that out sometime, the comic book was pretty cool.

      Snyder is definitely rockin the Batman book right now for sure – and I hope we have his writing on this title for a substantial amount of time :) !!

      Have a good weekend Mr. Jackson and sorry for the delay!

      I didn’t keep up with tmnt, but I did like the first couple issues, I should check that out. Are you getting excited for Invincible 100? they are going to have like 10 covers for that book.

    So Tom, the wife is pregnant? (25:00) Congratulations man!

    Another awesome episode guys. Thank you for the entertainment.

    • tomstewdevine says:

      Yes thank you, And when I say pregnant, I mean super pregnant, she is due 2/20 so it could be anytime.

      Some of you know I have two girls, but the doctors are telling me this is going to be a boy. So I won’t be totally out numbered in my house anymore! :)

    Well the shakes are passed now that I got my CBL fix. I was going to wait until monday when I do my paperwork but couldn’t wait. Great reviews and thanks for the shout out.
    Could you guys talk about what you think digital will do the Value/loss to the physical issues. I buy trades but almost never buy individual physical copies anymore. I also have and I-pad and feel it is half full with comics. Watch out for that Tom, it will fill up fast.
    i would be a blast to be on the show. Heck I would be the Alfred to your Batman for the chance to hang with the CBL crew.
    I am done with Tbolts and don’t know if I have kicked DA yet. I picked up Young Avengers again. I am sure you will like that Jon. I am looking to collect old issues now and wait for Digital sales.
    Tom thanks for the Review on Luther, I bought on his recommendation on the first Luther series.
    So as I learned with comics “love’m or leave’m”.

    • tomstewdevine says:

      Thanks for tuning in again ‘Merica, Thats a great question about digital comics, and we will totally cover that in the next episode, and we also can’t wait until you come on the show….Alfred. :)

      • Sgt. 'Merica says:

        Thank you Master Thomas…Also I was wondering if you would ever do a show on Story Arcs? Top three and Bottom three?
