Good show guys.

Ron you were cracking me up in wrap up. "I'm spectical."

Another good one guys.

I'm a little shocked how much my POW matched up with yours. That never happens!

Super show, guys. Doesn't get much better. I read Powers 25 on Saturday night and was still jazzed from it when I listened to the podcast. Your analysis was dead on. It's a great time to be a Powers fan.

Your review of Criminal made me wish that I had stayed with the series. I'm lovin' Sinestro Corps (though not as much as the aftermath of Cap's death or the Avengers' Skrull invasion). Not so hot on Countdown this week, but hope springs eternal. One so-so issue does not a bad series make. I really dug Daredevil. It was POW worthy. Can't wait for issue #100. Bendis and Brubaker continue to rule. So do you guys.

Steve, you stopped reading Criminal? Why?

Great show, guys. Criminal was my pick this week. I'm collecting Powers in HC (so I'll be caught up when I'm 87.)

Maybe he's switched to trades. Myself, I'm moving to trades with Daredevil after next issue, I read the first two arcs that way and enjoyed them twice as much that way as I do now in floppies (which is still quite immensely.)

I think that of all his books, Daredevil is Brubaker's only work that I could see benefiting for the trade format because I find the intricacies of the plot forgettable when compared to Captain America or Criminal, which I remember every little detail of for some odd reason.
