Even though it's been a relatively quiet couple of weeks for comics news, Paul and I still somehow managed to put together an hour and three quarters of discussion of the Saga/Comixology shenanigans, the first transgender character in the New 52, the sad passing of Carmine Infantino and the July solicitations. We've also got reviews of Avengers Assemble AU, Batman and Invincible Universe, and the Official Handbook of the Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe is going swimmingly. All this plus Bob Harras's trousers falling down, what AU really stands for and Marvel's most confusingly numbered ongoing series.

As usual, we want to know what you think about the big issues of the week, including but not limited to:

  • Does the Saga & Comixology fiasco show that there's a problem with the current digital distribution system?
  • Who's the most adaptable villain in Batman's rogues gallery?
  • Are you looking forward to the Trinity War storyline?

Also, let's not forget that we've got a new merchandise store, where you can get our super snazzy shirts. Check it out!
