It's time for a generationally huge week of comics. Had we read these in physical form, their bulk would have required building permits and licensed forklift operators. As it is, Conor's iPad is almost too hot to touch. There are, however, many artistic goodies to be found among them, as we celebrate these riches. Oh, and do you hear that ringing in the distance?

It's a dig for gems on a week where there were more comics than we thought. We're constantly weighing the value of nostalgia in comic book properties, and how much it adds to the experience of comic book stories. We reached no conclusion.

Finally, once more, we need to ask forgiveness from the Italian comic book community.
