Toucan & Macaw Talk Comics: New to Comics

This week the birds wrap up IN YOUR SKIN (with anger), discuss the bummer that is Eli Roth while praising the glory of THE DEADMAN and decide if they're going to get involved with their first comic event - BATMAN: BAD SEEDS. Plus, get absolutely donked over the first half of House of X/Powers of X, because the birds sure as shit did.Void Rivals Tp Vol 1_21:16-44:10In Your Skin #4_44:30-51:12The Deadman #3_55:21-1:10:34Batman #12_1:13:50-1:32:27House of X/Powers of X (Pt. 1 - The first three issues of each)_1:32:57-2:11:32X-Men #105_2:15:12-2:32:15
