In the shocking season finale of Bags & Boards, the guys, along with guest host Mike Kaess of the 40s and 20s podcast, talk some mad Walking Dead (for a really long time). Also in this issue, Great Pacific #1, tons of Marvel Now number ones like All-New X-Men, Fantastic Four, Thor: God of Thunder, and X-Men Legacy! Rounding up the discussion in this extra-long episode is Death of the Family — Batman and Robin, Suicide Squad, Batgirl, and Batman #14s — followed by a discussion of the savagely weird and incredibly impressive return of Saga… and a very special outro.
This week’s recommendation is: Saga #7!
Matt Fraction to Comic Fans: “Make it hurt. I dare you.”
All of the proceeds from issue #7 of Bags & Boards’ beloved Marvel series “Hawkeye” will go directly to charity benefiting victims of Hurricane Sandy. Make sure to pick this one up in January, folks!
Director Bryan Singer tweeted earlier today that the rumors are true!
