That’s right, wonderful followers of Comic Impact’s Podcasts, it’s Wednesday, which means it’s time for the new Pick of the Week Podcast! I know how happy you must be right now. I truly envy you. I wish I had the opportunity to listen to myself every single week. I mean I do, but I know what I’m going to say before I say it. You get to listen to it without knowing, with fresh ears. Anyway, Ken had the arduous task of picking the week for the POW this time. Shockingly, he decided to go with Uncanny X-Force #11. Astounding, maybe even, uncanny? Along with Ken, we got Simon and Ian to join in on the fun. This week the team discusses: Batman Beyond #6, Hellboy: The Fury #1, Flashpoint #2, Flashpoint: Abin Sur The Green Lantern #1, Flashpoint: Batman Knight of Vengeance #1, Haunt #16, Amazing Spider-Man #663, Fear Itself #3, Moon Knight #2, and X-Men #12! We also share the results of last week’s Poll of the Week which was about those Super 8 mini comics that were in all the DC books. So, check it out!

Guess what everyone! Not only is it time for a new POW, Pick Of the Week podcast, but last week was Simon’s birthday! Hooray for the birthday boy! What an amazing, special occasion. So, of course Simon had to lord it over everyone and maliciously steal Ian’s pick! Wotta’ prick! This week, Simon picked The Mighty Thor #2 by Matt Fraction and Olivier Copiel. If there’s one thing Simon likes, it’s French people. You better listen to this week’s podcast if you know what’s good for you! Where else will you hear Ken channel the spirit of Don Knotts? Plus, find out why Ian, if Simon hadn’t so cruelly stolen his pick, wouldn’t have picked any DC book this week regardless of how good it may have been.

Wednesday, the best day of the week! New comics and a brand new Pick of the Week podcast to go along with ’em! Does it get any better than this? I say, no way! And this is one POW you are not going to want to miss my friend. Not that you would ever want to miss one of these gems. This one’s got everything! It’s got comics, talking, and talking about comics! This week Ken had the pick and he decided to go with X-Men #11. Sure it has a terrible cover, but it’s what’s on the inside that counts. And what’s inside is a pretty damn good story starring Professor Xavier, himself. Simon, Ian, and Ken also discuss: FF #3, New Mutants #25, Chew #27 (hey what happened to issues 19 through 24?), Flash #12, Flashpoint #1, Elephantmen #31, Amazing Spider-Man #660, and New Avengers #12! That’s what I call one kick-ass podcast!

What a week! There were so many comics last week, I barely had enough time to read ‘em all. If only there was some sort of audio program I could download onto my MP3 player that was about all the comic books I enjoy reading. Where could I possibly find such a thing? Wait I know! The ComicImpact Pick of the Week Podcast is exactly that thing I described earlier. Those ComicImpact guys sure are nice for doing that, specifically for me.

I wonder sometimes if MARVEL has a time machine and goes into the future to see what will be going on in the world. In the past week we have seen the tragedy in Japan and now the U.N. is taking actions against Colonel Gadhafi in Libya. It would seem that Marvels Fear Itself event is timed perfectly for this, which is why the P.O.W. for March 16th is Fear Itself: Prologue Book of the Skull , One -Shot. It is a long title but a great book written by Ed Brubaker and drawn by Scot Eaton.

What?! You’re kidding me. I don’t believe you! It is not March already! What?! It is?! Well how the Hell did that happen? Who am I talking to?! Well, it looks like it’s time for the Pick of the Week Podcast for March 2nd already. I have no idea where that came from. We got a super special POW for you this time because this week you are getting the very first Director’s Cut for a Pick of the Week! And this isn’t going to be like that lame Director’s Cut version of Payback starring Mel Gibson. This is going to rock your friggin’ socks off! Oh yeah. You don’t believe me? Well you’re gonna have to listen to find out.

Oh, man! Finally, it’s time for another POW, Pick Of the Week Podcast! I know you couldn’t hold your anticipation much longer, and you’re a real trooper for toughing it out. Good job! Ian has the pick this week and he went with Amazing Spider-Man #655. Unfortunately, Simon, Ken and Sheldon couldn’t disagree more. The podcast reaches riotous proportions as the group lets Ian know what a dumbass he is for such an irresponsible pick. He may be fired. Simon also starts to realize that he’s more of a fan of 1990’s comics than he thought, Sheldon is going to follow Bucky to Russia to help him fight bears and Ken can’t find his cat. It’s a show for the ages, my friend! Don’t listen at your own risk!

It’s a good, clean, fun romp for the whole family…okay, it’s not very clean or family oriented, but it is fun and there is DEFINITELY some romping going on. Just listen, find out and be disturbed.
