The Infestation comes to a dramatic (ish?) conclusion, rolling through the universes of GI Joe and the Ghostbusters. We talk about some surprisingly good writing, and discuss the differences between books that tie in to major events and books that stay hands-off. Plus, zombie, vampire, technovirus boobs!

This week we start off our Ultimate Wacky Cross-Over Mania series with the first part of IDW’s Infestation. We read Issue 1 and both the Star Trek and Transformers minis throughout this zombie assault on licensed comic book properties. Are these big publisher-wide, universe-affecting events really worth all their hullabaloo, or are they just a cheap ploy to get your dollars and nerdrage? We talk about all of that, and science.

We jump forward about 50 years from last week by reading the “Ultimate Galactus Trilogy,” a tome of a story arc spanning three miniseries and a one-shot. It’s a huge tale with a long, savory buildup. But do we like these Ultimates or do we want our old helmet-head back? For more information on past or upcoming episodes, visit www.AtomicPoweredSuperCast.com!
