If you have ever thought to yourself that your head just doesn't quite hurt enough when you read your comic books, iFanboy has the show for you. This week, the guys get caught in a self-referential loop as they explore comics that break the fourth wall.

One thing that never happens in comic books is self-referential stories and humor. Ha ha, just kidding - that happens all the time! But how did it start and who has done it best? From creator as co-star to deep, meaningful examinations of existence, the iFanboys have got it all this week when it comes to fourth wall breaking, post-modern meta comic books stories.

These books will take you through the looking glass:

Fantastic Four Omnibus Vol.1 by Stan Lee & Jack Kirby

Essential Nova Vol. 1 by Marv Wolfman, Len Wein, John Buscema, Sal Buscema, Carmine Infantino, Gene Colan & Ross Andru

Animal Man Vol. 1 by Grant Morrison, Tom Grummett & Chas Truog

Sensational She Hulk by John Byrne

Deadpool Vol. 1 by Joe Kelly, Ed McGuinness & Kevin Lau

Casanova Vol. 1 by Matt Fraction & Gabriel Ba

New Avengers Vol. 2 by Brian Michael Bendis & Steve McNiven

Doctor Thirteen by Brian Azzarello & Cliff Chiang
