In this week's episode, Ryan makes Jamie continue to read the currently ongoing series, The Ultimates, as well as the One Year In one-shot. Written by Deniz Camp, art by Juan Frigeri, and guest art by Chris Allen and Jonas Scharf.

The also go on tangents about the 616 and Netflix versions of Luke Cage, the lesser known Human Torch, the references to original Norse Mythology made by issue 11, and a recital of Chip Zdarsky's James Gunn/Kevin Feige fan fic.

Unfortunately, there was a technical issue with one of the microphones from 1:01:24 onward so.....sorry about that.
