The Onion’s AV Club has a killer bi-weekly feature called “Comics of Note,” which you should definitely check out. We totally missed, however, that they reviewed us a month and a half ago. Oops!

 Finally, for those who like smart, informed talk about superhero comics, the three hosts of “The Stack” video podcast—Alex, Justin and Pete—run through the current highlights of the mainstream and indie-hero realms with a lot of charm and insight. Nerdy but agreeable, The Stack’s trio trade off-the-cuff lines but rarely waste their seven-to-nine-minute timeslot, instead running through the reviews quickly, with lots of illustrations, a fair amount of friendly disagreement, and none of the snooty pissiness of many Internet comics critics. They’re the kind of guys it would be fun to talk comics with down at the local. The Stack is available via pulpsecret.com, or as a direct download to TiVoCast-enabled TiVos. B+
