Finally, the picks of the week. Alex says, “If you’ve been getting Log Horizon, I recommend getting Season 2, Collection 2. Otherwise, Lupin III in Voyage to Danger has caught my interest.” Blaine says, “I see nothing particularly noteable (trusting that everyone already has the Doctor Who episodes in one form or another.)”

  1. I’m curious to see Hardcore Henry. I’m not sure if my stomach will be as interested. And, of course, I’m psyched to see The Killing Joke.

    • Remarkable though the Killing Joke comic is, I’m a tad concerned about the alleged expansion of the Babs Gordon plot in the adaptation to include a past sexual relationship with Batman. If true, that feels really off.
