Your host David A Price talks about New York Comicon, Steve Raker talks about the Year In Review in 1970, Pat Loika brings the new releases, David then returns to review Mighty Avengers, The Uncanny X-Men Annual, Young X-Men and X-Men: Manifest Destiny. David also compares Dazzler to Belle from Twilight by Stephenie Meyer. (Not really, but he didn’t leave Derek any show notes to work with and Derek gets bored easily so he just makes stuff up).

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Thank you, Derek.

The real show notes are:

We try to keep it brief this week, with our host’s intro followed by Steve and then Pat.  The above titles are mentioned, but there is nothing about Twilight in this episode.

WRITER: MARC GUGGENHEIM
PENCILS: YANICK PAQUETTE
INKS: SERGE LAPOINTE
In the wake of Messiah CompleX, there are no X-Men and young mutants Rockslide, Blindfold and Dust are alone and directionless.

“GOD AND COUNTRY,” PART 4
In the age of the Superhuman Registration Act, the only good hero is one that plays by the book — which the card-carrying Moon Knight most assuredly does not. Indeed, with Moon Knight fast becoming the poster child for recklessness and brutality, the question of the day is just how he got a Registration Card in the first place! As Tony Stark’s investigation unearths the ugly truth, Marc Spector braces himself for the consequences, unaware that an equally grave threat is preparing to strike. Carson Knowles — a.k.a. the Black Spectre — is back and he wants payback.
