5 Comics Worth Your Money This Week (One Almost Got Us Banned) - Multiverse Comics Podcast
**What Are We Reading? | Comic Talk**
The guys sit down and dig into what’s been in their read piles this week.
Steven can’t stop talking about Bruce Jones’ run on *The Incredible Hulk* — a horror-conspiracy thriller that puts Banner front and center and only unleashes the Hulk when it hits hardest. If you loved *Immortal Hulk*, this is required reading. JR Jr., Mike Deodato, and some of the most underrated covers in Marvel history.
Scott’s on *Justice Society*, where the Spectre is back — and it’s actually Jim Corrigan this time. Plus a very unexpected panel from old-school *Hellblazer* sends the conversation somewhere nobody expected.
Jason picks up *MASK #1* — now in the Energon Universe with Transformers, Void Rivals, and a villain who everyone thinks is crazy... until you remember what universe they’re in. Also: *Absolute Catwoman* impresses with a first-issue reveal that could steal the whole Absolute line.
Then all three dig into *Avengers Armageddon* — is it an event? Is it the Avengers book right now? Does Cap being naked in hell work? They break it all down, plus where Doom fits into all of this before he shows up on the big screen.
Also: blind bags, Rom rights, Chip Zdarsky’s hits and misses, and a deeply unsettling plan to share a reading space.
