In which The Off-Panelists elect a new Pope of pull-lists and struggle to spell out the podcast's name, as a surprise guest joins the show in mid-session! Following the discovery of a conspiracy to exploit one man's love of shrimp, join the Southerner, the Sloth, and the Scotsman as they delve into the week's books and review some standout favorites, including the "Requiem" issue of Batman & Robin, perhaps the craziest installment of The Manhattan Projects yet, a baffling choice in the pages of Batman, the return of a long-forgotten character in the pages of Wolverine And The X-Men, and the introduction of a historical figure with a twist in the pages of Fantastic Four. Plus, a one-man lightning round, discussion of the Comixology implosion, and at the end, a theory about the one appendage Bruce Banner retains consciousness in when becoming The Hulk. One hint: It's not his brain.

In which The Off-Panelists entertain a guest host who isn't really a guest, as Mercé Mueller makes her short-lived return to the inner-circle of sad geekery abound! But if you think that's the biggest surprise of the episode, you'd be wrong - very, very wrong - because one of the panelists reveals a secret so shocking, so life-changing and unexpected that it leaves the group speechless. Which is saying something. Following discussions of some DC hits and misses, debate over a regular Vertigo title, and a few other choice mentions, the four struggle to get to the week's topics amid call dropouts, leading to some awkward mid-conversation returns including what would happen if a "Justice League" movie were done in the style of Se7en, one crippling announcement from Marvel NOW, two consecutive questions from a reviled listener, and plenty of Aquaman jokes. In short: Damn Muties!
