Titles we spoil this week: BOOSTER GOLD #1, FLASH #231, JUSTICE LEAGUE OF AMERICA #12, PROGRAMME #2, CAPTAIN AMERICA #29, FRIENDLY NEIGHBORHOOD SPIDER-MAN #23, NEW X-MEN #41, SPIDER-MAN FAMILY #4, SUB-MARINER #3, SUPER VILLAIN TEAM UP MODOKS 11 #2, TERROR INC #1. We also discuss our day at the Lehigh Valley Comic Con, shrimping, we dissed Rusty, being next to CJ Henderson, meeting Chris Ring (and promptly getting his name wrong, good ol' Dutchy Digest, is Erica Henderson hot, RIP Mike Wieringo (and, uh, Mike Mignola’s cat), Manga blows, we love LunaticRadio.com, ChaosRadioShow.com, KomicsKast, Panelologists, and Comic Book Noise, send in your nominations for the Noisies!

It was nice being next to CJ Henderson, he’s a wondefully nice guy, but he’s TOO nice, because he talked me into buying half his damn library! It’s cool - he gave me several copies of "Cthulhu Sex" to share with Kwipette, so she didn’t beat me for spending all that money. Just, you know, for coming back with a bunch of Cthulhu Sex…

And, uh, don’t mention I was inquiring about his daughter, would you? With as many books as he’s written on the Cthulhu mythos, he’d probably have Hastur showing up at my door.

Chris Ring did a great pic of MODOK on his site, but I wish he had a copy of the print I bought to show you, it’s really great.

Dutchy Digest is the perfect companion to our profanity-laced selves. Granted, Bruce couldn’t do much when I was making lewd gestures towards the young girl in the mini-mini-MINI-schoolgirl skirt, but there you go.

RIP, Mike Weiringo. Everyone says you were a Hell of a guy, and I’m sorry I didn’t get to meet you. Mad props to Scott Kurtz for posting such a touching story about him.

Manga blows, Lunatic Radio and Chaos Radio are some great internet radio shows we’ve been digging, but you should also be listening to the Panelologists, the Comic Book Queers, KomicsKast, and Comic Book Noise. Oh! And Derek is taking nominations for the Noisies.

This week’s breakdown:

14:23 - Just the Tip
20:08 - Dr. Sexy’s Love Lounge
30:14 - HappyJack’s Hall Of Hate
36:18 - Kwip’s Clueless Corner
41:33 - Closing Thought(lessness)s

We were a bit short this week. Likely that's because we dissed Rusty and we were pretty damn tired after the show.

Some of the titles we spoil this week (because I forgot to write them down and am too lazy to look them all up): BATMAN #667, BLACK ADAM THE DARK AGE #1, COUNTDOWN 38, FABLES #64, GREEN ARROW YEAR ONE #3, GREEN LANTERN #22, JACK OF FABLES #13, DAREDEVIL #99, NEW AVENGERS #33, PUNISHER WAR JOURNAL #10, X-FACTOR #22, BOYS #9, BLACK SUMMER #1. We also discuss HappyJack’s honeymoon exploits, if the Comfort Inn Airport really an airport, Gail Simone is a goddess that gifts anything she touches (hopefully she’ll touch me), Color Of Magic on TV, Vinnie Jones is the man, Neil Young references cause fights, who said I hate Nightwing - I confess, I’m an idiot, Palmiotti’s a funny guy even if we do hate all his creations, what does a 99 entail, brief interruption with some terrible misogynist jokes, and check out our new format. It’s n3rdalicious!

Gail Simone is a blessing on anything she touches, but she really out-did herself on the Teen Raider cartoon. Check it out on Gametap’s website.

The preview of Jekyll looks pretty cool, I must admit. I’m not sure if I’ll ever get around to watching it since I never have any luck with my Pay Per View, but maybe I can pick it up on Pay Per View someday.

Despite the guys and I coming to blows over it, you can make up your own mind about Neil Young in a graphic novel.

I haven’t seen Hogfather yet, but supposedly it was very well done, so that offers some hope for Color of Magic.

Vinnie Jones is THE MAN. I’m not saying that a Juggernaut movie is a great idea or anything, but it’s cool that Vinne at least has a sense of humor about the whole thing. He’s still the best thing about that abomination X3.

So I had to catch a rash of shit for hating Nightwing. I still think he sucks. But still! Milo Ventimiglia is a dipshit for wanting to screw up the Batman franchise when it’s just barely got it’s feet back under it after the debacle it’s become.

So no, we don’t like anything he’s ever done (and Jason hates him because… Well, just because), but Palmiotti is funny as hell at the Who Wants to be a Hero panel.

The Lehigh Valley Comic Con isn’t on the scale of New York or Philadelphia, but Bruce tells us it’s a pretty good time. Doubtful we’ll get a table, but we might drag ourselves away for a weekend to check it out.

Dr. Sexy totally set me up for some crazy story to happen, but it turns out it was just a great night with an awesome writer. Joss is cool, what can we say?

Apparently, we can say a LOT of things. This show is the HOLY MACKEROLEE RELAUNCH of our show. I’m not sure why we felt the need, but I’m insane like that, so we’ve re-tooled the show with some new segments. If you’re in a rush or happen to hate one (or more) of us and want to jump through our segments, we break down like this:

13:06 - Just the Tip
17:54 - King of the Cons (with Mad Rusty)
27:17 - Dr. Sexy’s Love Lounge (a discussion of things that came out this week we loved)
43:55 - HappyJack’s Hall of Hate (a discussion of things that came out this week we hated)
57:15 - Kwip’s Clueless Corner (books for people that don’t have a clue about any comic universe/history/lore and just want a good read)

I keep catching crap from people because first, I don’t put our email address on the site. Then if they DO find it (by doing such terrible acts as listening to our show), they get mad when I don’t read their email “on air.� And I won’t even go into how rarely we use the Skype line (but in my defense, I have a LOT of trouble getting that damn thing working on the second computer). BUT - allow me to post here, in nice big letters, our contact info:

Email: N3RDCast@gmail.com
Skype: N3RDCast
Phone: 646-797-2763

I don’t know why I’m bothering, you’re not going to use it anyway! Oh, you SAY you will, but you never call… And who am I… After all I’ve done for you…

Titles we spoil this week: COUNTDOWN 39, DETECTIVE COMICS #835, FAKER #2, JUSTICE SOCIETY OF AMERICA #8, METAL MEN #1, MIDNIGHTER #10, WELCOME TO TRANQUILITY #9, DAREDEVIL BATTLIN JACK MURDOCK #3, DARK TOWER GUNSLINGER BORN #7, IRREDEEMABLE ANT-MAN #11, NEW AVENGERS ILLUMINATI #4, NEW WARRIORS #3, SHE-HULK 2 #20, THOR #2, UNCANNY X-MEN #489, WORLD WAR HULK #3, CLOCKWORK GIRL #0, GARTH ENNIS CHRONICLES OF WORMWOOD #6, KILLING PICKMAN #1. We also discuss how pedophiles (pedos) do NOT buy you good food, thank God Rob Leifield’s back because we need more pouches and shoulder pads, Dan Slott and Gail Simone are National Treasures (and also need to marry AND adopt me), a secret message for our one listener, have I mentioned I love the Panelologists, Jason Becker OBVIOUSLY owes EVERYTHING to us, a challenge to Palmiotti fans, and never trust an Aztec.

Does anyone else find the humor in the fact that we just finish talking about how pedophiles always bring McDonald's food to their prey and Dr. Sexy then thanks me for getting him some Bacon Egg & Cheese biscuits?

Kevin Smith really dropped the bomb on this asshole, and it's a beautiful moment. Love that guy. Not the asshole - I mean Kevin Smith. Seriously, though - you can’t mess with a guy that’s got the mic, you know? Well, unless you’re Joe Rogan.

Is the name “Pickman� from Killing Pickman from Pickman’s Model by HP Lovecraft?

These pics of the girls from the Comic Con are amazing. You have to have a lot of confidence in your body to dress up like Emma Frost, that’s all I’m saying. Fighting mutant killers with just those panties? Hawtness.

Palmiotti’s working on Defenders Of Freedom, a comic from the ACLU. No, seriously.

The Serenity Collector’s Edition is a must-have for me. It’s a shame, really: You could have the exact same thing as the original release, but put a new cover on it and tell me it’s a “Collector’s Edition?� Gotta have it.

Bill Willingham’s new project about the old super villains just sounds awesome. Can’t wait for that thing to come out.

Jason Becker: Hair Band Guitarist. That was a little weird when I was trying to tell people about him and they googled his name.

John Singleton has a tough choice ahead of him: Black Panther or Luke Cage. The way Black Panther’s being written nowadays, it’s no choice, it’s stupid as Hell. BUT - if you take the Priest run on Black Panther… Damn, that’s some good stuff, there.

Hero Envy’s Philly Recap is great stuff and I feel stupid for having taken so long to put a link up to it, but you can see us in all our glories in the coverage.

By now you’ve already read it everywhere else, but yeah, Marvel Super Hero comics are going on sale. I got the DC ones, so I’ll probably knuckle under and get the Marvel ones as well, since I’m dumb like that. Not impressed with their line-up (other than The Thing), though.

If you’re going to Chicago Wizard World, you really need to check out the Comic Book Queers’ Guide to Chicago. I sooooo wish we could make it. Next year!
