It’s the first issue for the new year, so we’re pretty much doing what we did last year. Which means we look at Marvel’s Cosmic 2013, helping Peter David recover and a geeky proposal. THEN we look all the Guardians of the Galaxy casting rumours. PLUS our kicks-ass pick of the week, Ant-Man: Season One by Tom DeFalco and Horacio Domingues.
Our next reading assignment: Punk Rock Jesus by Sean Murphy (DC/Vertigo).
