A decade old this month, The World Is Not Enough throws up varying emotions for Ian and Adham. Not only does it mark the final appearance of Desmond "Q" Llewelyn, but it is both the best and worst Brosnan entry to date in the minds of the hosts. In the crosshairs are the Bond franchise writers, a collective of irritating female characters, and technology itself as the episode struggles to resist the temptation of kicking Adham off of Skype!

It took me a long time to warm up to the idea of Batman: Arkham Asylum. In the months leading to its release the buzz grew and grew, but I did my best to ignore all of it. I guess I just couldn't fathom a game about Batman being worth all the attention. Great games based on superheroes tend to be few and far between, and the screenshots of a gritty, over-muscled Batman didn't exactly pique my interest. But even though I wasn't excited, it seemed like everyone else was. When it was finally released, and the praise for the game kept coming strong, I started to rethink my plans and gave the game a shot.

Last time we looked at reprinting books from two important eras: the Golden Age and the Bronze Age, where Jack did some of his best work with DC. But of all the comic pages the man illustrated, it is safe to say that he drew more pages for Marvel (in all of its incarnations) than all other publishers combined.
