Greetings adventurers, and welcome to this weeks installment of The Surly Nerd! After our prelude, we head into comics where DC Comics takes center stage this week. Sean Murphy tells us what’s next for the Batman White Knight series and we get an amazing new Superman trade we can’t wait to read. Level one comes to an end with Bendis finally coming to Action Comics and shaking up the very foundation of Superman’s world.
Heading into level two, Valve has acquired Campo Santo, and that’s a pretty huge deal. SEGA made headlines this week with announcements about retro games coming to Switch and their very own mini-Genesis. James ends level two with more heartbreaking news about the future of Castlevania.
Over in the world of entertainment, Firebase gets cancelled only a week after we talked about it. Doom is getting a new film, Stephen Spielberg is coming to a major DC Comics title and we finally know what the new Gremlins movie is…kinda,
Our epilogue this week is about the road to Infinity War.
As always, we appreciate all our adventurers who listen to the show every week and we look forward to your feedback on what we discuss! (info@thesurlynerd.com!)
