Well here we are folks. No new milestone to speak of today. No 200th episode. No 50th episode. Just an episode commemorating freaking Wobbuffet and some killer comics. This week we continue the weird amalgamation of Secret Wars tie ins alongside post Secret Wars relaunches. We enjoy some new Image debuts. We welcome a whole buncha Batman into our lives. And we continue our love affair with Starfire. So join NOLAnerds Matt "Sex Crimz" Finneman and Chris "Bloodstone" Robinson as they talk it up for you.

September was a massive month for Sony. Between being the only console maker with a real presence at this year's Tokyo Game Show to releasing a ton of games to announcing its first price drop, to celebrating 20 years in America, this was a big month for them. This month gave us our first taste of the holiday gaming rush with Metal Gear Solid V: Phantom Pain and Destiny: Taken King as well as a wealth of downloadable goodies. So join NOLAnerds Matt "LEGO-riffic" Finneman and Chris "Hates Fun and Joy" Robinson as they nerd it up.

Sure last week's 200th episode was a major milestone for us. But hey! The 50th episode of the 2.0 era is just as important! Right? Right. You get it. I could tell you were a smart cookie. This week was MASSIVE. We had the continuation of Secret Wars AND the premature relaunch of the Marvel universe. We had every single Star Wars book release on the same day. We had a volley of quality DC books, several new Image debuts, and so much more! So join NOLAnerds Matt "Jughead" Finneman and Chris "Star Wars Overload" Robinson as they share their love of comics with you!

Something seems special about this week's comics show. Maybe it's because it's a fifth week? Fewer comics...more annuals... no, that doesn't sound right. Maybe it is because THIS IS THE NOLANERDCAST'S TWO HUNDREDTH COMICS EPISODE?? It's hard to believe it has been four years and some change since we began this little endeavor. So come and join NOLAnerds Matt "Craves a High Five" Finneman and Chris "Loves Pokemon Porn" Robinson as they celebrate this crazy milestone.
