Comics N3RDCast 1/5/09: No Resolutions Whatsover
Posted by Kwip on January 5th, 2009 6 Comments 
I’ve often discussed on the show how surprised I am that there aren’t crazies out there trying to be the next Batman. Well, I need ponder no more! Although the NY Times has a brief article about these “real” heroes, Rolling Stones has a very in-depth and pretty interesting read about one hero in particular. It’s disturbing, amusing and just a bizarre read to see how some people delude themselves. And that’s coming from a guy who believes he can lose weight whilst eating Ben & Jerrys.
Pittsburgh Comic Con has been delayed until September of 2009 (and one of these days they might even get around to updating their site). I think there’s a lot of split opinions on the whole move – some of the folks were upset that they didn’t find out before now, some folks are upset at the new date, and some folks are just upset at change, period. This will be hard for HappyJack, since Leadslinger Studios was going to premiere a number of their new titles in Pittsburgh,
Dr. Sexy has finally designed and ordered the official Dr. Sexy Muppet. I’m of course very jealous because I can barely afford to make a Kwip sock puppet, but I’m sure Dr. Sexy will get many miles of usage out of that Muppet!
Congrats to Dr. Bruce finally hit his 100th KomicsKast recently. We were hoping for a downward spiral of drunken debauchery, but I guess we’re the only ones that get up to that sort of chaos during our shows.
Paul Adams joins us on this show. Among his other distinctions, he is also the new drummer for Sobriety Starts Tomorrow, a Panama City punk band. If you’re into the punk scene, you should check these guys out – tell them the N3RDs sent ya!
Titles we spoil this week (and we really do have some spoilers in there, watch out!): SECRET SIX, WHAT IF SECRET WAR, JSA #22, AVENGERS INITIATIVE #20, WOLVERING #70, CAPTAIN AMERICA #45, KICK ASS #5, GOON #31, BATMAN CACOPHANY #2, BATMAN #684, PUNISHER WAR ZONE #4, VENOM: DARK ORIGINS #5, DAREDEVIL #114, TEEN TITANS #66, ATOMIC ROBOT #5.

I didn’t bother with the music interludes on this show. I’m still not sure how I feel about them – I like using music to break up the show, but it’s kind of hard to break our show up since we bounce around topics so much. I’d ask HappyJack and Dr. Sexy what they think, but they never listen to the shows, so why bother? Regardless, this show I only use a clip from Paul’s band at the end of the show, so enjoy!
Also, there’s not much point in doing notes for this show, since we don’t talk about much else other than the comics, but if you want to skip over our blathering and get right to the comics talk, that starts around 18:30.

The bad thing about listening in the car while driving is that when I think of a comment I can’t write it down. Had one from earlier in the show but can’t recall now.
Later in the show when you started to talk about JSA I had to drive while holding my fingers in my ears and going nah nah nah, so I wouldn’t be spoiled. Luckily I managed to keep the car on the road as well.
Thanks for the KK well wishes.
it’s atomic ROBO, dummy!
heh, Shawn’s sooooo stupid!
How ’bout go fuck yerself!

No matter what anyone says or what voicemails you may get in future. Jason Becker is not a real person. It was an internet hoax I devised as a way to sell comic books. It did not work.
Hey Thomas,
Guess that internet hoax wasn’t that effective. *zing*!
