Join our heroes this week as we get our kung fu grip on with some toy stories. Marvel as we travel down memory lane and remember those toys we weren't allowed to have.

With plenty of iconic comic book cities to choose from, what city would you want to live in?

Our heroes face the challenge and discuss the pros and cons for each city. While you may have your favorite hero there to protect you, there is still the issue of the city's super-villains. Though the debate goes a little off the rails, our usual banter takes a heightened turn for fun. Then it's off to talk about those geek genres that we all know and love, figuring out which one is our favorite and what draws us to them.
