Live from Jim Hanley's Universe in New York City, it's part one the 200th episode of iFanboy's Pick of the Week Podcast!

What are the best comics we've seen this year? What are the titles you should be looking out for? We go through all our favorite titles of the year so far!

Welcome back zappers, Im Devin Curry with http://Shazap.com. Your online video source for comic book news and reviews. This book takes a pretty big step back in the time line. It takes place on the day of the invasion. It follows the character of the crusader who is a skrull that has chosen to betray his people and live his life as a human. It is an interesting back story for the character and a pretty compelling look at the decision of where to put his loyalty but like most of the Secret Invasion tie ins it is pretty insignificant. They also make it look in the end of the book that the earthlings are starting to win the fight when we know from the other books that the opposite was true and Nick Fury had to show up and get a bunch of people out of there to regroup. The only cross over that I ve found to be worth while and really necessary to the story is the New Avengers book because it actually has a unique story that is moving forward. I did enjoy the Run Aways/Young Avengers book but it is not essential to the story. If you re into the initiative and the characters of that story then you ll probably enjoy this one but if not it can definitely stay on the shelf.

The brave and the bold is a collection of one shot team ups with the major DC characters. They are good reads on light days and when they involve your favorite characters. This issue, written by Mark Waid and drawn by Scott Kolins follows and adventure with Nightwing and Hawkman. This was a really entertaining story. As someone who loves the character of Nightwing it was cool to see not only his position with the other heroes in the DCU but also his brilliance for strategy and leadership. Hawkman wasn t really involved much other that antique consultant and letting Nightwing borrow his flying device. We got a bonus in this issue also with some good green arrow and dead man action as well. Again this issue was a really good read but if they re not characters that you re into then you can do without this title.

So the Mighty Avengers book has taken on the duty of showing us how each of the avengers was replaced by a skrull. We ve seen Sue Richard s story, Jessica Drew s, and now they show are showing us how Elektra was killed. This is the best one that I ve seen yet. Electra put up an amazing fight. She took three super powered Skrulls down before they could take her out and there are some great action sequences. I didn t think the art was a very fitting tribute to send Electra off for her second and possibly final time. The art made her look like an old woman instead of the sexy, deadly warrior she is. The artist also doesn t do a great job of catching the characteristics of the characters. I mean if it wasn t for the costumes you wouldn t be able to tell who they were. Next issue is Hank Pym. I m starting to get a little impatient with this story. I love the story but I would like it to start moving again.
