NolaNerdCast
We're just a couple of guys from New Orleans who like talking about comics, video games, anime and movies!

Hi! This is episode 74! Of the NOLAnerdcast. This is Chris. I get to type the intro this week! Now I get to be the one who makes bad jokes and gives Matt a stupid nickname. Let's see. Comics jokes. Guardians of the Galaxy? More like, Avengers in Space am I right? That is comedy gold. And comedy platinum. Hell, its the comedy Metal Men! This week we talk about more Age of Ultron, more Marvel NOW goodness, and more. Pretty light week overall, so let's jump right in! Join the NOLAnerds Matt "Is a Big Jerk Face" Finneman, Chris "Dietary Restrictions" Robinson, and Scott "Meh, Guess I am Here" Brehm as we talk about another week in comics!

March Madness has begun! The March Madness of Comics that is. Not so much March Madness per se. Well, there was some madness involved. Did you know that we people actually LIKE Bachalo's art on stuff? Crazy I tell you, crazy. Next you'll tell me there are people out there that are actually non ironic fans of Ramos drawing Spider-Man. What a world we live in. This week, the NOLAnerds discuss the newest Marvel event, say goodbye to another Before Watchmen tale, laugh at Chris for his terrible choice in comics, and much more! So join the NOLAnerds Matt "Dr. Fate" Finneman, Chris "Stupid Pick of the Week" Robinson, Scott "Massacre" Brehm, and Andy "Crying Cop" Niemann as they take you into the wonderful world of comics.

Seventy episodes baby! Each time we hit a nice even number with a 0 in it, I stand back and am impressed that a group of notoriously procrastination prone nerds can actually stick with this. Kudos to us I guess. This week is a relatively light week in comics considering what came from us last week, but we had a lot of gems! This week we bid farewell to Greg Rucka's Punisher, end several story arcs from books like Flash and Aqua Man, revel in the glory of Kieran Gillen, and more! So join the NOLAnerds Matt "Punisher Beard" Finneman, Chris "Loki Bacon" Robinson, Scott "Joker Grin" Brehm, and Andy "Huck Finn" Niemann as they talk to you for an hour or so about comics!
