Disney might buy parts of Fox, but what does that mean for the Marvel Cinematic Universe?

What does this potential purchase mean for the MCU?

Greetings adventurers, and welcome to this weeks installment of The Surly Nerd! After our prelude, we head into comics where New York is about to honor Bill Finger.

Heading into level two, we give the deets on what Super Mario Odyssey sold and cover all the big news that came out of Blizzcon. There’s also a (strangely) cool announcement from GameStop and microtransactions take center stage again as we talk about Monster Hunter World.

Over in the world of entertainment, we debate if we want/need a prequel movie to “Night of the Living Dead”. Fans finally get the Friday the 13th/Evil Dead crossover they have always wanted and arguments have to be made for and against wanting a new Twilight Zone reboot.

Our epilogue is week is all about the possible acquisition of Fox properties by Disney.

In case you didn’t know,
Jack Kirby was kind of a bad ass

Greetings adventurers, it’s time for an all new episode of The Surly Nerd! This week we come at you with all the geeky news you need, while spinning off topic more than usual! After the prelude we jump into comic news where we tell you all about Marvel’s X-men ’92, Jack Kirby finally getting the recognition he so rightly deserves and close out Level 1 talking about the Death of Wolverine and why Wonder Woman is so important to comic history.

In Level 2, we go into the changes that Nintendo is trying to undergo to become relevant again as well as why Sony is having internal issues. We wrap up gaming news with the closure of Microsoft’s entertainment division and why that hurts their current console more than helps it.

In the epilogue this week we get a little serious as we talk about video game movies in the context of modern comic book movies.

How excited we are for the Deadpool trailer

Greetings adventurers, it’s an all new episode of The Surly Nerd! Join us as we wade through the plethora of news coming out of San Diego Comic-con. So much happened in the last week in the world of nerdy news but does ANY of it have to do with comic books? We kick our show off with that thought as we go into the winners of the Eisner Awards and from there move into what’s new for Superman in his comics as well as Marvels plans for their newest acquisition – Angela.

We slide from those comic topics over to the world of video games. John Romero tells us what he thinks about the PC vs Console war, we get deep into what makes HALO a true franchise and we bitch more and more about Ubisofts sexism. We try to talk about happier things in Entertainment News with Evil Dead television series but just end up angrier from where we started. Avengers theories, Batman V Superman rants and a discussion about the Deadpool “leaked” trailer close out our show. Get comfy with us as we get into super geeky comic discussions on episode 101 of The Surly Nerd.
