From Batman to Punisher or Han Solo to Walter White, pop culture has been in love with their anti-heroes for a long time.  This week the crew take a look at some of the most famous, or infamous, anti-heroes of all time.  While at the same time ask, what makes a hero and anti-hero?

Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. has exploded in prime time and comic book nerds around the world have rejoiced.  Now your favorite agents Anthony, Andrew, and Elizabeth have gathered to discuss what they thought of Marvel's new hit show.  Where they want to see it go.  And what the hell happened to Coulson!?

Not to be out done, DC has announced plans to create a new show based on a young Jame Gordon in Gotham.  Listen as Andrew and Elizabeth explain to Anthony why it's a great idea and listen as Anthony sparks the great debate, can Gotham exist with Batman's presence?

Original broadcast date September 25, 2013. The original podcast post is here: https://pixelatedgeek.com/2013/09/comic-issues-137-return-to-the-lair/

This week the podcast crew is back at our favorite comic shop, the Villainous Lair! Joined by comic expert Beau Machado (aka the Secretary of Offense and #1 Cheeky Monkey) we talk about the latest issues from Marvel and DC; what's working, and what really isn't. We also manage to discuss geek porn. Again. (We tried to be good, but it's all Beau's fault.)

Original broadcast date September 18, 2013. The original podcast post is here: https://pixelatedgeek.com/2013/09/comics-issues-136-tying-the-knot/

This week the Comic Issues Heroes and Heroine get serious and talk about marriage... not to each other of course.  With the writers and artists of Batwoman suddenly leaving the book Anthony, Andrew, and Elizabeth ask DC why their characters can't get married.  Dan Didio says that to make their stories better that their characters need to be single, but we just can't stop missing Clark and Lois, Peter and Mary Jane, Arthur and Mera, Scott and Jean, Barry and Iris...

So why is DC "Anti-Marriage?"

Original broadcast date September 11, 2013. The original podcast post is here: https://pixelatedgeek.com/2013/09/comic-issues-135-geek-music/

This week the podcast crew talks about geek music in all of its glory. From rap to classical to 8-bit to rock, this music is for geeks, by geeks, about all things geeky!

What's your favorite geek-themed music? Leave us a comment or shoot us an e-mail at [email protected], because this is too massive a subject for one podcast alone.

Original broadcast date September 4, 2013. The original podcast post is here: https://pixelatedgeek.com/2013/09/comic-issues-134-villainous-issues/

With a woman down Anthony and Andrew searched high and low for a suitable stand in for the Every Transformer Loving Blue Eyed Elizabeth. No mere mortal could take the place of the podcast's only voice of reason, so they kicked reason to the curb and headed down to The Villainous Lair! Now with by their powers combined Anthony, Andrew and Sara from The Lair become... VILLAINOUS ISSUES!

This week the crew and Sara talk about some of her favorite comics out right now including the always popular Batgirl by Gail Simone and the surprise hit, He-Man? Listen in as the talk goes from comics, to insane fandom, and even to porn.

One of a geek's greatest fears is being bored (it's why we have such wonderful toys.) Podcasters hate it too, so even though we had no idea what we were going to talk about this week, we forged ahead and tried to make things interesting. And got even more goofy than usual while doing it.

Join our heroes and heroine as they ditch the format and ramble all over the place. Sure, they manage to discuss Ben Affleck as the Batman, Xbox's upcoming games, and Guardians of the Galaxy. But they also talk about Fantasy Shark Leagues, badass spiders, fiery bees, and whether or not you can be surprised by a cannonball.

Original broadcast date August 21, 2013. The original podcast post is here: https://pixelatedgeek.com/2013/08/comic-issues-132-wall-of-hunk/

This week the heroes and heroine of The Comic Issues Podcast go to the movies with their take on KickAss 2 and this week's The World's End, while Anthony starts over with Doctor Who beginning with the 9th.  That sparks The Great Davies vs. Moffat debate to find out who's the best Who scribe!  The tension is tangible and lines have been drawn.

Then things get sexy as the guys tease Elizabeth about her Wall of Hunk and Andrew trolls Anthony with his Twitter puppet, @Rumonger!
