Do you qualify yourself as a geek or a nerd?

On this exciting episode of Comic Issues, our heroes attempt to answer the ultimate question: "What is the difference between a geek and a nerd?" Then they take it a step further and start going through each subset of geekdom and nerdom finding where each stands. From Otakus to Furries, this is a discussion you can't miss.

Many Bothans died in order to bring you this podcast.

Last weekend, in a city not far far away, our heroes gathered to pay homage to one of the biggest geek movies of our time. From the trilogy to, yes, even the prequels, Star Wars has been a part of our lives for over three decades. From discussing Rancors to lightsabers, join us on this exciting adventure as we relive the phenomenon.

(No Bothans were actually hurt in the production of the Podcast.)

Peter Parker is bitten by a radioactive spider and gets "amazing" spider powers. What would happen if the freak accident that gives you your power happened inside a comic shop? Would you be granted amazing powers, or just something kind of mediocre?

Tune in as our heroes discuss and grant each other some very special powers. Speaking of power, do you remember the Comic Code Authority, when comics essentially had to meet a particular standard or be censored? We revisit that time and ask the question, "Should comic books be rated?" Lastly we create the ultimate two-person team-up; whom would you like to see working side-by-side?

With the more then sad news of Atomic Comics our heroes take a moment to remember our favorite comic shops while discussing the current state of the industry. Then it's time to monkey around as resident host: Anthony Silva returns from his trip to the movie theater with a scenario: essentially if there was a monkey uprising, (wonder what flick he saw?) put together a 5 member team from comics to combat them. Let's just say this topic is more fun then a barrel full of monkeys.

I'm certainly glad Doc let us borrow the Delorean for this episode.

Our heroes travel to the far reaches of the future to discover what gaming is like there. Will we still need our dice and books for table top RPGs, or will it be a tablet top society?

This week on Comic Issues, our heroes return from a much deserved birthday celebration of fellow team mates Anthony Silva and Darran Caldemeyer. But suddenly, an emergency strikes and our heroes are needed out in the Big Apple! They discuss the newest Ultimate Spiderman: Miles Morales.

As the Spider-antics slowly come to a "crawl," it's clear that there is a "crisis" right around the corner. With a showdown of Megaverse vs Multiverse in the Comic Industry.

It's Wednesday, which mean it's time for another exciting episode of Comic Issues. This week our heroes get their movies on. They battle with the Barbarians of Conan and then hit up the galaxy far far away with some Lego Star Wars. Also if you thought Gringotts was cool, you should check out our vault, a collection of movies that you just wish weren't made (prequels...*cough* *cough*).
