      erislaughs is back! I love her! You guys could build her into the next big online star! I'd watch a cute girl talk about comics any day! AAAAAnd... she knows what she's talking about to boot!

      Wow, that floaty head Pete was distracting. Thanks for anchoring him in that monkey.

      Only book I read that you guys talked about was ASM. I'm still on the fence about this series. Some of it I really like, but half the time I still want to rip the comic in half and punch Quesada in the throat. Thiis occurs mainly when Jackpot says "tiger".

      Also, you guys should seriously see about hiring that chick in the video at the end. She talks like she's stoned, but I still couldn't help watching her three or four times. Good stuff.

      I vote in firing Pete and replacing him with the youtube girl. Pete my man, please give better reviews rather than just saying it's great or it sucks. Also it would help if you had on your web site beside the video what Alex, Justin, and Pete are currently reading.

      hey guys just wondering do you think all this skrull and clone invashion has anything to do with the "death" of Captain America? And on a completly different topic what charecter are you afraid might die in final crisis?

      Hey guys, first time commenter. Love the show.

      I also have a quick question...are there any past series or graphic novels that you highly recommend or love but haven't gotten to mention on the show yet?

      Thanks a lot, keep up the great work.

      You guys need to use, and read the forums. They are a much better venue for questions like these, and many may have already been discussed there.

    • richbob wrote on February 21, 4:26 pm

      I'm almost surprised that Pete was into the talky-talky-talky New Avengers #38. I was a little puzzled by it, really. I can imagine it reading better in a TPB than as a single issue.

      The user video from OdouglasJ was really interesting and informative. Nice history lesson!

      I totally agree with adding erislaughs to the cast, its hard to find a good woman and she seems like a keeper. A little estrogen in the show wouldn't hurt either.
      You can't get rid of Pete though he's the id to Justin's ego and Alex's super-ego. It just wouldn't be the same.
      But I also think Pete should wear the monkey suit for every episode, so what do I know.

    • Mr. Fantastic (anon) wrote on February 21, 6:57 pm

      I don't know what is with the hate-on with Pete. He is my favorite reviewer of the three... I pretty much agree with nearly every comic he critiques.
      :o

      Oh and I don't think the Stack needs a chick... I think the current three reviewer opinions counter-balance each other perfectly.

      All that being said, I think the extra dramatics and effects in the last two episodes are distracting, and I preferred the more conventional format.

    • Clive wrote on February 21, 7:24 pm

      Yeah, I'm with Richards here on everything. Pete's awesome. Theatrics not so much.

    • avin harr25 (anon) wrote on February 21, 7:39 pm

      first off great show, keep up the good work. i wanna know , in your totally un-biased opinion out of dc and marvel comics who do think is the best.

    • zeus417 wrote on February 21, 10:13 pm

      Eris is always awesome, that's why i subscribed to her on Youtube. On the topic of the video however, I'm glad the trade of Umbrella Academy will come out some time soon as I was a chump and missed the run cause I was out of the comics loop when it started. HUZZAH! Great episode as always.

    • kid who sucks but has potential (anon) wrote on February 22, 12:28 am

      Seriously, why dont you consider hiring erinslaughs! She has posted several times why not make it official?

    • Weker1 wrote on February 23, 8:10 am

      I agree She's awesome!

    • dirtywhitebrian wrote on February 22, 2:37 am

      theatrics yay! i wanna see justin and eris repopulate the zombie infested planet

    • comicsarecool.com wrote on February 22, 10:52 pm

      Where is Alex? Seriously. The guy is the glue that holds The Stack Together. He's the staples that keep the show's spine from falling apart. Re-animate him at once. As for Erislaughts, she's a bit of a comic chick cliche for my taste.

      "It blew ass man."

      erislaughs....yeah she was cute...but do i care about her opinion, when the thoughts she had didnt make it all the way down to her mouth.........*shrugs*.....Dyed black hair and dark clothing dont cover "True Blond" the way you think it would....

    • Bombardem wrote on February 23, 4:01 am

      Check out Blair in Fresh Ink, she gives great reviews, and doesnt have to stoop to pompous phraseology to get peoples attention.

    • Bombardem wrote on February 25, 1:22 am

      No, the word your looking for is professional and well-rehearsed and oh whats that other word...oh yeah...prepared.

    • Apocrypha wrote on February 23, 8:16 am

      Maybe it's just me but I don't really want to see videos of people giving sort of pseudo reviews of their comics they bought this week (or any week) unless it's you guys. I really don't care so, speaking for myself of course, it would be nice if you didn't use those. Something more interesting would be preferred like the guy with the "first computer drawn comic". He didn't say what it was like which is good because I didn't care. :-)

    • Doorman wrote on February 23, 5:55 pm

      I have a question. What would you say is one of your rarest comics, excluding those from Marvel & DC, and it doesn't necessarily have to be worth a lot of money.
      For instance I have a book from '93 called Doorman. Only one issue ever came out as far as I know. It was from Cult Press. The entry for it on comicspriceguide.com uses words like "ashcan" for #2 and "may not exist" for #3, but they definitely list #1 without any caveat. :-) No cover pic though. As if that wasn't good enough I have #1 of this book with a hand drawn cover by the creator. Black background with the main character drawn with one of those gold ink pens on top. I have no idea where it came from and I'm pretty sure it's quite worthless except for maybe sentimental value to the creator. :-)

      PS: The girl was cute but she didn't really have anything to say. Sorry. Maybe if she had a different schtick? I dunno. Or maybe you don't get that many video entries perhaps?

    • Bombardem wrote on February 23, 7:04 pm

      You never know. If the creator/artist hit it big some day with the fans then something like that is worth thousands. Just bag n board it and put it away.

    • Bombardem wrote on February 23, 7:08 pm

      Again, the forums are better for discussions like this.

    • inferno27 (anon) wrote on February 24, 1:04 am

      New Avengers #38 was a nice slow issue but I don't understand what Spider-Man was doing in it.

    • Bombardem wrote on February 27, 7:52 pm

      New Avengers is apparently happening pre-OMD still according to Bendis.

    • CharmingTrickster wrote on February 27, 1:54 pm

      This is just further proof that bad things happen when Alex is not around ;)

      Umbrella Academy was nothing short of amazing. I can't wait to see what comes next! I recently picked up the first collection of 100 bullets and was in shock of how good it was. What do you guys think of it?

    Comic Book Reviews: Umbrella Academy 6, Countdown 11 and more

    Thanks to Erislaughs and Odouglasj on YouTube for letting us use clips from their videos!

    We got another Newsarama Review from the floating head of Pete on the wrap up of the final Umbrella Academy. We thought this issue was well done and lived up to the hype. We give it 5 floating heads out of 5!

    As for Countdown to Final Crisis, Pete's floating head wasn't too happy with the issue, but we heard from artist Jimmy Palmiotti that the series is going to end with a bang.

    Wrapping up with New Avengers #38, it's all about the Skrull invasion. We thought it was a great read and a lot of fun so be sure to pick it up.

    In the Speed Round, we review Captain Marvel #3, Spooks #1, Green Arrow and Black Canary #5, Dead of Night #1, and Amazing Spider-Man #550.

    In the Mailbag you guys asked if we ever made our own personal comics.

    And finally, we're turning the cameras on you guys. YouTube user odouglasj reviews the first "digital" comic, Shatter from 1985 and erislaughs runs through some...
