This week, Vince and I have the pleasure of discussing an absolutely fantastic story arc which ran in Astonishing X-Men recently, penned by Greg Pak. “Exalted” is a great story involving alternate dimensions, complete with a kid Kurt and his adorable Spider-Man lunchpail. Seriously… I want to adopt that kid.

We both really enjoyed this story, though did have choicer words for some of what we’ve been reading; I’m looking at you Avenging Spider-Man, The Walking Dead and the Astonishing X-Men which followed Pak’s run.

Enjoy the show.
