Too many comics to be contained within one episode, so we're giving you TWO episodes this week! This episode is a battle of the top seeds, where we let the big dogs fight for the prize of being the book of the week. Can Hank Pym sleep with enough skrulls to carry Mighty Avengers #15? Will Ellis' swan song on Thunderbolts #121 get the sympathy vote?
