Season 4 Episode 21 :: Infinite Robotics
It’s comic book time! Not too long ago we did an episode focusing on comic movies, but it’s been a while since we really got into it with comics. There’s plenty of stuff going on in Marvel and DC what with the new Spider-Man, Marvel’s Big Shots, and the world-altering Flashpoint event and we touch on all that good stuff – but that’s not the main event. This episode we fantastic interviews with some incredible indie talent.
First up is Kagan McLeod who’s recently-released graphic novel, Infinite Kung Fu, will shatter your rib cage with its otherworldly martial arts awesomeness. We talk with him about how his book rose from a self-published single-issue to a massive graphic novel, Chinese mythology, and more. Have a look at this trailer for the book and perhaps you’ll understand the power within its bindings:

Then we turn the interrogation lamp onto our very own Mr. Brian Clevinger and for the first time ever, Atomic Robo artist and co-creator, Scott Wegener. The latest volume of Robo has been collected, another is about to begin, and there’s a second series looming on the horizon – so suffice it to say we have much to discuss with these dastardly devils.

At least there is plenty of Nerdy Show listen to while I wait for D&D 15. I love the sound of a “Triforce Mike/Atomic Robo Power Hour”. I read 8-Bit for years and love anything Brian does, and I first listened to D&D before going on to Nerdy Show, so when I hear Triforce Mike talk it’s like Chair is on Nerdy Show. It made the dickisode quite funny.
Hey guys, thanks for the heads up regarding Infinite Kung Fu!
Regarding fighting by throwing your limbs, a certain Super Nintendo character had that stuff buckled down back in 1993.

Dude… I… freaking… LOVE PLOK! I could go on about that game for ages. I don’t remember if we got to talking about it in our Rare Game Retrospection episode in season 2, but we shoulda. I wanted to make that kind of episode a regular thing. That fire has been rekindled, sir.
@ChairFan
Glad you’re digging the shows man. You should try living with him! Fortunately IRL Mike is very clean of body (though not of room). New D&D so so so soon.
@Cap
Be still my heart. Suffice it to say I never expected anybody else, let alone one you guys, to know about it.
I don’t recall hearing about it back in season 2, but I am glad that we are able to share an “I know, right?” moment.
So uh, long time listener, never expected to contribute anything of value. Even if your machinations regarding retrospectives never come to fruition, thanks for making my month man. You guys keep being awesome at whatever the hell it is you decide to do.
