Once upon a time in 9th grade, one nerd met another nerd and built a life-long friendship over comic books. Now older, ornerier, and opinionated, Andy and Mike talk about all things comics, games, and joint pain.
Join Andy and Mike every MONDAY as we explore growing up in the 80’s and what it’s like to love comics now! With the help of some guest hosts, we talk comics, having comics with kids, comic conventions and surround it by picking issues to read and review!

Grant Morrison’s All-Star Superman, the Hero for Everybody? Plus more Star Wars talk!

In this episode, Andy and Mike talk about the prequel Star Wars movies. I'm not sure what went wrong. But then we talk about Grant Morrison's love letter to Superman, All-Star Superman. Twelve issues of extreme Superman by Frank and Grant. We go through all 12 issues as fast as we can and Andy is unsure about this reread and whether he liked it. Mike decides Andy has no clue what he's talking about, but we both agree the prequels are great. Just kidding. Enjoy the episode!

In this episode, Mike and Andy are joined by Matt2 and we talk about the first 25 or so Marvel Cinematic Universe movies (except Captain Marvel). What movie was our favorite? Who is our favorite characters? And why does Matt love every one of them? We chat about our favorite scenes, who we want to see on the big screen next, and why you should always watch old movies before showing them to your kids! A little loss of audio in the middle so I pieced together around the Deadpool comments but it’s all good.
As always, thanks for listening. Now with Chapter headings!

Please note: this episode was recorded WAY before we found out Neil Gaiman was allegedly a total scum bag. And praise of him has since been extinguished. I’ve left the episode in its original version however.
In this episode, things continue to look up for the books we are reading and down for the microphones we are using! Still, it's a pretty good episode of singing, partying, and lovin Neil Gaiman's Sandman from DC/Vertigo! Mike talks about finally looking through some dollar bins! plus we chat about somethings that lead to our first direct to Patreon exclusive stories (because we don't want to sound like terrible human beings on the regular feed). All this and more on this episode. Tell a friend!

In this episode, Andy and Mike continue discussing the last six issues of Marvel's Secret Wars from the 80's written by Jim Shooter and art by Mike Zeck and Bob Layton. We try to find the romance and love of the series since it's coming out on Valentine's Day but admittedly that's a tough one. We discuss our favorite couples in comics, our favorite couple in this series, Kickstarter’s that we participated in, MST3K, Miami Vice, and we do some more crazy voices while trying to act old and crotchety. Join us for this fun chat of two old friends. This one has a weird echo and I apologize for that.

In this episode, Andy and Mike talk to Kevin. That's it. Just talking. . . okay, Kevin is a new comic collector and we wanted to know what that was like since we are old and bitter. So we ask him questions and he asks us questions because we think we are a fountain of knowledge. A fountain I tell you! Kevin also is a founding member of show sponsor, Thunder Chicken, and we get to ask him questions about one of our favorite bands! Mike comes into the show a little late but we make it so you never know! Trust us! A great conversation which covers all the essentials to comic collecting. Maybe . . .
