Happy Holidays to our ever loyal citizenry! Yes, we are broadcasting (or is that podcasting?) tonight, starting at 6pm. Join Dburt, Daryll B. and Captain Kirk on The Comic Shoppe as they discuss the following comic book/sci-fi/fantasy topics: our thoughts on the new animated shows and returning series-Ultimate Spiderman, The Avengers: EMH, Ben 10: Ultimate Alien's conclusion (and what to expect from the next iteration-Omniverse) and Thundercats; AVX aka Avengers versus X-men, Marvel's big crossover event limited series starts off without a hitch; FX's POWERS show is powerless-the cast has been let out of their contracts...but does the show still go on; and lastly, our meanderings concerning DC's upcoming He-Man comic adaptation.

Next up, the boys are back in town! Afronerd featuring Captain Kirk airs after the Shoppe at 7pm eastern standard time. The issues to be pondered are: yet even more information has come up relating back to the Trayvon Martin tragedy (i.e. the firing of an NBC producer for speculative splicing and Neo-Nazis patrol Sanford, FL); and news that is "tangentially related," Dburt is fumed over an exchange between Fox's Bill O'reilly and progressive professor, Dr. Marc Lamont Hill; A discussion on the passing of iconic journalist and documentarian/broadcaster, Gil Noble of Like It Is fame, and if time permits, as science and technology delves deeper into the world of AI and robotics, a Huffington Post article denotes growing human unease with machines that exhibit humanoid characteristics.
