Join Dustin every Wednesday and Saturday as he dives deep into what's going on in the Nerdy Culture from comics and RUMORS  to movies and TV. Then also, when we take deep dive discussions into topics that matter, or for interviews with some of those Nerds who have influence on the culture.

It's Tuesday which means it's time for...the news! On this episode of Comic Talk Today, Martin talks about the Amazon exclusive Invincible in development, some follow up on the Walmart/DC deal and why it's a great thing for the industry, Disney dropping buckets of money to ensure their acquisition of Fox and why the Young Avengers is the future of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Plus, a jam packed Comic Predictor with a ton of new comic book day recommendations including a few series finals, the return of some familiar faces in Multiple Man and the Sentry, a great selection of horror books, and why you should pick up Mike Hammer from Titan Comics!

It's a new week so that means it's time for Martin to talk about some of his favorite reads from last week's new comics book on the Top of the Pile. This week, Martin discusses Tony Stark, Iron Man #1 from Marvel Comics, The Wild Storm #14 from DC Comics, Fathom #1 from Aspen Comics, The Lost City Explorers #1 from Aftershock Comics, Ruin of Thieves #2 from Action Lab and Shanghai Red #1 from Image Comics. Thanks for listening!

Welcome to the first installment of Top 5 on Comic Talk Today! For this first edition of the new segment, Martin talks about some great comic book universes that he wishes would see return to comics. The list includes the Dakotaverse (Milestone Comics), the Ultraverse (Malibu Comics), the Sigilverse (Crossgen), Red Circle/Impact/Dark Circle, and Earth 295 (Age of Apocalypse). Plus, stay through to the end for some bonus picks and some universes Martin hopes never return. 

DC announced that they will be releasing 100 page giants starting next month which will be reprinting some New Age of Heroes and New 52 material alongside brand new original stories from writers such as Jimmy Palmiotti, Amanda Conner, Tom King, and Brian Michael Bendis. This all sounds great until you learn that these books will be exclusive to Walmart stores in the United States. In this episode, Martin dives into these books and what the exclusivity deal could mean for comic and non-comic fans alike. 

On a special Therapy Thursday, Nick Wetmore from the Nerdy Legion podcast joins Martin to discuss some hard hitting topics! Will Batman and Catwoman actually get married? Should creators on top selling titles get paid more and how should that affect the price of the book? Is Grant Morrison really the best (yes)? Plus, Bendis did a great thing, Nick and Martin's top Spider-Man artists, and Nick partakes in the Spider-Man trivia challenge!
