Ron's Christmas Gift Vault Show

Tuesday, April 21st, 2009 – running time 26:53
What's in the vault this week? The last member of an intergalactic police force; an icon of truth, justice and the Soviet Way; and some young super-powered whippersnappers who don't know their place!

This week, iFanboy goes into the vault to take a look at two books that Ron bought the other guys for Christmas and... another random book. Apparently, Ron didn't get the memo. It was on Christmas themed-paper!

First up is Nova Volume 1: Annihilation from Marvel Comics. Writers Dan Abnett and Andy Lanning showcase their own patented style of throwbacky but modern comics in this mammoth hard cover that contains the first year of the book that redefined Richard Ryder.

Next is Superman: Red Son from DC Comics. What if a slight tilt in the Earth's rotation meant that instead of landing in the heartland of rural Kansas, Baby Superman's spaceship fell to Earth in the cold, unforgiving Soviet Union of the late 1930s? Things wouldn't be to good for America, comrade.

Finally, there is Young Avengers. The hardcover that collects the entire series from writer Allan Heinberg (Grey's Anatomy) and artist Jim Cheung hits on every Avengers-loving level. This is the book that caused Ron to first bellow the now infamous "Damn you, Heinberg!"
