info_outlineThe Fellowship is pleased to present our ideas on who we would place in Marvel's "Trinity." Social media feedback (thanks to all who responded) were swayed by the movies, and we tried to steer it back to the comics (as we often do). Oh, and Star Wars tangent, anyone? And as always, our picks of the week.
What we're up to this week:
Blu-ray extras for the third Hobbit movie (not necessarily the movie, though)
The Black Monday Murders first arc - genius in every way
Spookhouse (Eric Powell) and Motor Girl (Terry Moore)
The revamping of our website and a new logo - coming in January :-)
Teen Titans omnibus

Marvel's Trinity: Link to Tom's editorial from back in 2011
And of course, leave it to us to find a way to list more than three options each for a "trinity"…
[Also, a brief apology for sound quality; the new microphone I got crapped out spectacularly last week (hence the missing show). I had to go back to the old one this week, so I sound like I'm 10 feet back from it. Another new one will be here in time for next week's recording. Thanks for your patience.]
