What happens when people with this attitude with comic books? Let’s get into it…

In the picks, Kenny goes with Aquaman, and Blake chooses Wolverine and the X-Men and the final issue of Tiny Titans. Contact us with comments, suggestions, or anything else at Showcase@CXPulp.com!

My Saturday Morning Shuffle
A little while ago, chatting with Erin and Mark on Facebook, we call came to the conclusion that there just aren’t any good shows on Saturday mornings anymore. Certainly no decent cartoons. And I decided that the only way to remedy this, at least until I take over television programming, is to get an enormous DVD player capable of holding dozens of discs and placing the episodes on random shuffle. So I looked at my DVD collection to decide what I would put on that shuffle if I could do so right now…
- Animaniacs Volume 1 (I so gotta find the rest of these)
- Challenge of the Super-Friends Vol. 1, 2
- Chip and Dale Rescue Rangers Vol. 1
- Count Duckula Season 1
- DC Super-Heroes: The Filmation Adventures
- Danger Mouse Seasons 1 and 2
- Darkwing Duck Vol. 1
- Ducktales Vol. 1-3
- Dungeons and Dragons: The Beginning
- Exosquad Season 1
- Flintstones: The Complete Series
- Galaxy High Vol. 1
- Garfield and Friends Vol. 1-5
- Legion of Super-Heroes Vol. 1-3
- Looney Tunes: The Golden Collection Vol. 1-2 (I desperately need the rest of these)
- Max Fleischer’s Superman
- The Muppet Show Seasons 1-3 (Not a cartoon, but I dare you to tell me these don’t deserve to be here)
- Peanuts 1960s Collection, 1970s Collection Vol. 1-2
- Pinky and the Brain Vol. 2 (Still need more!)
- The Pixar Short Films Collection (Because they’re cool)
- The Real Ghostbusters Vol. 1
- Rocky and Bullwinkle Season 1
- Star Trek: The Animated Series
- Star Wars Animated: Droids & Ewoks
- Superman: The Animated Series Vol. 2
- Tiny Toon Adventures Season 1 Vol. 2
- TransFormers: The Complete First Season Vol. 1
- Walt Disney Treasures: Mickey Mouse in Black and White; Silly Symphonies Vol. 1; Oswald the Lucky Rabbit; The Chronological Donald Vol. 2; The Complete Goofy
Looking at this list, my collection seems woefully inadequate. Why have I never finished the Looney Tunes collections? Or Animaniacs, Tiny Toons, or Pinky and the Brain? Why don’t I have the Batman cartoons, Batman Beyond, or the Justice League? (Why has Warner Brothers not yet released a complete set of Static Shock?)
:sigh:
Someday, my friends. Some. Day.
It was a huge week for comic book news, and the guys sit down this week to discuss the DC restructuring and the end of Wildstorm Comics.

In the picks, Blake presents Darkwing Duck #4, Kenny digs Incredible Hercules: The Mighty Thorcules and Mike goes with Booster Gold #36.
