Howdy, citizens! Welcome to another fun and fuel packed Grindhouse episode of Afronerd Radio airing this Saturday at 6pm. Listen to Daryll B., Capt. Kirk and Dburt at The Comic Shoppe where the trio will discuss the following "nerd-tastic" concerns: the crew reviews the recent release of J.J. Abrams' Star Trek: Into Darkness film; Marvel and Fox studios clash over the use of Quicksilver and the Scarlet Witch for their upcoming projects; the saga of the Black android gains prominence in Fox's new Almost Human TV series; a copy of Action#1 gets discovered in the insulation of a recently purchased home; Microsoft reveals its Xbox One video console and lastly, Dburt discusses his fondness for the new BBC America series, Orphan Black. Call the hosts live at 646-915-9620.
And then there's Afronerd Radio pinch hitting at 7pm eastern standard. Check for Dburt and Capt. Kirk's world view on the following topical concerns: continuing from Wednesday's show, President Obama and his scandals are they real, imagined or just distratactions?; a White Howard University student discusses her reasoning for attending a HBCU; and speaking of White students at Black colleges-stats show that the trend of reverse cross racial attendence at such institutions is on the rise; new developments in the Trayvon Martin case tells us that one's character matters; rapper, Chief Keef threatens pop tart, Katy Perry on twitter; iconic rap producer, Dr. Dre donates 35 million to USC (and not an HBCU) and lastly, actress, Zoe Saldana makes some POC uncomfortable with her recent comments in Allure magazine.
It's Saturday, It's 6pm & It's The Grindhouse @Afronerd!....AGAIN!

And then we have Daryll B. of The Shoppe latest blog entry. Imperius Rex!
-Yet another blow to my DC Comics stable...
http://www.newsarama.com/17853-james-robinson-announces-departure-from-dc-comics.html
...and just like that by November, I will be picking up NO DC titles... Earth 2 was the last bastion and that was because of Mr. Robinson. Help me out folks... what DC Title should I be picking up right now?
-Corey Blake at Robot 6 crafts this theory...
http://robot6.comicbookresources.com/2013/05/why-are-we-afraid-of-the-end/
Granted it was inspired by Johns departure from Green Lantern and to a lesser extent, Morrison's departure from the Bat-Universe, but as you saw from my comment about the article before, this is a true phenomenon. I can recall 6 or 7 instances where I left a title just because a writer/artist left a book. A good writer or artist is like a dependable warm blanket that makes you feel safe. (Yes I just went Linus on this topic....sue me..). The great writer/artist is a mindblowing experience for a reader. The best thing about this cynical cycle though is going back later and picking up stuff from a later writer and finding out how wrong you were to leave the book. Thank God for graphic novels in this regard.
-You knew that this was coming...
http://www.newsarama.com/17856-star-wars-rebels-new-animated-series-on-disney-xd-in-2014.html
With how successful and popular both versions of Star Wars Clone Wars were on the Cartoon Network, how long could Disney resist making a version of their own?
-Greg Hatcher checks in with this retrospective plea about Bill Finger...
http://goodcomics.comicbookresources.com/2013/05/18/last-bat-time-last-bat-channel/
I will admit to not knowing much about Mr. Finger compared to other creators that have gotten screwed over but let's say now I am intrigued in reading a biography or two. If he did create a lot of the bat mythos that have lasted through the ages, then Mr. Finger does needs to be credited...
-Kelly Thompson checks in with two artist friends in updating some heroines' looks...
As usual, guys lash out blindly in the comments in the usual fanboy rage. Although I don't agree with a lot of the changes because the style just doesn't suit my personal tastes, I do agree that her choices do need some updating... and in the case of Harley Quinn, let's just go back to the original Dini/Timm creation please... PLEASE?
-Looks ok...
..but help me out... why was Avengers Earth's Mightiest Heroes canned if the new show looks almost EXACTLY like it? Can you say redundant? Premieres this Sunday Morning on Disney XD Folks!
-Another sign that the age of innocence is over because of today's anxiety/stupidity....
http://robot6.comicbookresources.com/2013/05/preschool-bans-kids-from-playing-superheroes/
So because of a clumsy kid or insurance claim, no kid can use their imagination for fun at recess? What the f***?!?!?!
-Remember when I warned you folks a couple of blogs ago to keep a close eye on Comixology and Apple after the Saga 12 flap? Well..
http://robot6.comicbookresources.com/2013/05/comixology-pulls-56-digital-comics-from-ios-app/
Yeahhhhh.....
-Folks I have found my replacement....
Girl, I am just keeping this seat warm for you... wow!
-Finally, I had to do ONE Star Trek related post...
Scrooge McDuck as the Ferengi Leader for the win!
That's it for me this week Fantasy Fans! Until Next Time, Keep Fantasizing!
Doing another quick Link-Blog as I am standing in line for Fast and Furious 6. Chances are on Saturday at 6pm EST we'll be doing a Star Trek review along with talking Avengers 2/ X-Men Days of Future Past rumors, so I'll avoid putting those links in. Otherwise....

it's almost impossible to comment on this blog. That's a shame because I had quite a lengthy response to that infuriating Special Zimmerman Podcast.
You Dburt, Kirk and Stark made a lot of assumptions analysing this case and took too little actual facts into account. It's a shame because it makes you all come off as irrational and thats a shame.
