Comics : 00:15:43 - Detective Comics #826 warms the cockles of Conor's heart with Paul Dini's tale of The Joker. 00:19:00 - Conversely, Batman Confidential #1 did the opposite. 00:23:48 - Is it possible that Justice Society of America #1 could have been ANY better than it was? Probably not, cause it was awesome. 00:26:22 - Why did we buy New Universal #1 ? We have no idea. 00:28:22 - One of the few constants in comics, Jonah Hex #14 delivered the goods yet again. 00:30:27 - Unfortunately the Marvel Holiday Special 2006 did not deliver.
