Cammy’s Comic Corner – Episode 97 (9/25/09)

The format for this episode is a tad bit different; instead of a Pick of the Week and a Fast Five, I give you TWO Picks of the Week because they were both THAT fantastic! Picks of the Week include Fantastic Four #571 (Marvel) by Jonathan Hickman and Dale Eaglesham, and Detective Comics #857 (DC) by Greg Rucka and J.H. Williams III.

Format for next week should be back to normal, but I just really felt the need to highlight two amazing comics this episode.

Cammy’s Comic Corner – Episode 32 (6/6/08)

It was quite the lame week for comics. Sadly no comic stood out as ‘Pick of the Week’ material, so on to the Fast Five! Picks include Nova #14 (Marvel), Kick-Ass #3 (Icon), The Boys #19 (Dynamite Entertainment), Criminal Vol. 2 #3 (Icon), and Detective Comics #845 (DC).

Hopefully, next week will be more eventful.
