Description
Once upon a time in 9th grade, one nerd met another nerd and built a life-long friendship over comic books. Now older, ornerier, and opinionated, Andy and Mike talk about all things comics, games, and joint pain.
Join Andy and Mike every MONDAY as we explore growing up in the 80’s and what it’s like to love comics now! With the help of some guest hosts, we talk comics, having comics with kids, comic conventions and surround it by picking issues to read and review!
