After a slew of technical difficulties and a lot of cursing, we still managed to put together a show this week.  However we aren't quite as positive as we normally are.  After weeks of praising Marvel NOW comics, the releases this week take an unexpected turn for the worse.  Lets hope this is just a minor hiccup and not a sign of things to come.
