Mild-mannered reporters by day, Greg Phillips and Nick Duke share an intense love of comic books that has made them the Hard-Traveling Fanboys. And if there’s anything that fanboys love, it’s debating what book is better than another book or which character is “cooler.” Enter Countdown, a monthly episode where Greg and Nick will each give a top five list and debate the merits therein. In preparation for the coming release of the movie “Justice League,” the boys offer their respective lists of the five best issues of writer Geoff Johns’ five-year stint on the Justice League comic book.

Did anybody really notice that Fandral had been recast? Shazam! Is what Gomer Pyle would say to that. The guys just hope you enjoy it. And stay tuned for a look ahead to Thor: Ragnarok!

On this edition of Go Home in a Box, Chris & Joel put a spotlight on Happy Death Day, the #1 box office sci-fi/horror film that may be of interest to you comic book nerds, because it was written by Scott Lobdell!
