User Submitted Comic Book Reviews: Blood's Own and More
For this edition of The Stack, we're reviewing viewer submitted comics. First up is Brian Andersen's debut issue of So Super Duper. This comic book is about a super hero who might be gay but he doesn't know it. We think it's worth a look. Then we check out Warlash #0 from Asylum Press, which we think feels like Judge Dredd meets zombies. And finally we review Blood's Own #1 from Antidote Comics. We're a little critical of this comic, but we definitely enjoyed it and think it's worth picking up. We're looking forward to the second issue. See more from Antidote Comics at Antidotecomics.com Check out the other issues at SoSuperDuper.com and Warlash.com. In our panel discussion we talk about whether comics should be free. Alex thinks so. Watch and find out why.

All Ages Comics! Power Pack Day One, Wolverine FC and More!
We're checking out all-ages titles in this episode. Starting with Power Pack Day One #1, which is a retelling of the Power Pack's origin, Marvel's premiere team of super kids. We really enjoyed this book and not just because there's ponies in it! Then we take a look at The Goblin Chronicles #1. We're split on this one. It's being billed as Shrek meets the Lord of the Rings. The art is great, but there are some issues here. We picked up Wolverine First Class #1, another all-ages title this week. Pete didn't like the berzerker rage that Wolverine goes into. And Alex, the Kitty Pryde fan of the group, has a lot to be happy about here. We really enjoyed this title and hope you pick it up, too. Then, we discuss: Are all-ages comics necessary? Comics are supposed to be for everyone, so why are there all-ages comics? As a kid, wouldn't you rather read a title that's more adult? We'll talk about all these issues in this edition of The Stack!

Comic Book Reviews: Batman Detective Comics 840, Teen Titans
Today we've got a really fun show for you. In between fits of laughter, we review Batman Detective Comics #840, Teen Titans: Year One #1 and The End League. Then, in the speed round we give you the buy or pass on Metal Men #5, Doktor Sleepless #4, Omega the Unknown, Exiles: Days of Then and Now One Shot, and Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season 8. In our viewer mail we talk about superheroes we can personally relate to.
We enjoyed Powers Annual #1. It does a good job as any annual should of telling a good story that stands alone, while being part of the current story line. Then we check out Locke & Key #3 which we all really liked. It's really well written and horrifying without being overly blood-spattered. Plus, the artwork is top notch. Iron Man: Legacy of Doom #1 gets a 2 out of 3. Justin's just not on board because of "schlockiness". And that's exactly why Alex liked it - it's old school and feels like an old comic. Then in the Speed Round we've got Green Lantern Corps #23, Scud: The Disposable Assassin #23, Criminal #2, Suburban Glamour #4 and Echo #2. Rounding out this edition of The Stack Alex gets back to you with answers to viewer mail.
