Welcome to Two-Headed Nerd Episode #673, featuring New Comic Reviews from 7/27 and 8/3!  As always we’ll be using our rating system of Buy It, Skim It, or Leave It, which might do more harm than good but it’s ours and we can’t think of a better one. This time our review pile is pulsating with gothic-haunted Batman mysteries, Superman growing up in the ’60s, Ant-Men from across the time stream and a senior citizen take on Lord of the Flies. What more could a nerd ask for?
