Our friends over at Aspen Comics have rolled out some pretty legit content over the last couple months. Believe me, I am reading a bunch of their stuff and for Nerdbot’s weekly independent comic discussion we will turn our eyes to a rather unique series called Executive Assistant Iris. For those of you who aren’t familiar with the material, and this can also double as my brief recap, Iris is… just like the title says, an executive assistant. You probably know someone in that exact same position, working the nine to five office grind. Only I’ll bet you my car,…

The way DC has been making headlines the past couple weeks it’s almost as if Warner Brothers is fully committed to reinstating the glory of the once hailed comic book universe. To add to the growing number of announcements this month, Variety.com reported on September 24th that DC’s female led ensemble project Birds Of Prey will arrive in theaters on February 7th 2020. Only fourteen or so months away. It will be here before we know it. Director Cathy Yan will bring Margot Robbie’s Harley Quinn together with the likes of Black Canary, Huntress, and Renee Montoya to battle a…

Alright internet… it’s time for everyone to chill the hell out. You know what I mean. Last week Todd Phillips dropped a couple unexpected bombs on us via Instagram from the set of the solo slash, origin slash, who the hell knows what’s going on Joker movie which is currently filming. Not only do we have an actual confirmation that it’s being made, but we also got a couple photos of our new Clown Prince Of Crime, Joaquin Phoenix. I’m sure you’ve seen them by now. The Before: The After: If you look online you’ll also find a few new…

The wheels are in motion over at Warner Brothers as DC’s Birds Of Prey begins the casting process. We already have Margot Robbie reprising her role as Harley Quinn in a female led ensemble film that fans everywhere hope will erase Suicide Squad from history. On September 20th, TheHollywoodReporter broke the news that the parts of Black Canary and Huntress are currently up for grabs. The studio has ushered in an impressive roster of talent to test for them. Gugu Mbatha-Raw (Belle) along with Jurnee Smolett-Bell (Underground) are reading for Black Canary. Janelle Monae was rumored to be in the…

It’s Aspen time here at Nerdbot and this week we’re taking it back to the futuristic landscape of New Zheng as we get ready for a brand new chapter of Nu Way. Since I have been reading slash reviewing comics from Aspen I’ve had to kind of jump into the series. No joke, diving face first without any prior knowledge or familiarity. So what makes me happy is this will be the first time I’ve gotten to continue the discussion of the material the same way I do with my coverage of DC’s Doomsday Clock. We open “Urban Brawl” right…

When it comes to all the DC Drama, have you ever wondered… what’s the point of all this nonsense? The only reason I ask is because this past week Henry Cavill, surprisingly not Ben Affleck being Ben Affleck, was the main topic of discussion as we found out his tenure in the Superman costume may be limited. The typical internet fodder followed the announcement which included heartfelt tributes, outcry from fans, cryptic Instagram posts, articles claiming a Man Of Steel-less DCEU is the best, and worst thing since The Dark Knight Rises. Thorough, intelligent points were made on all accounts…

For those of you die hard Westworld fans that I’m sure are on your fourth rewatch of season two, let me give you a reason to get excited about next year. On September 13th TheHollywoodReporter.com broke the news that Breaking Bad’s own Aaron Paul is joining the cast of HBO’s hit show. Of course, the details of his character are being kept very close to the chest. After this year’s finale, anything is possible. For all we know Lisa Joy and Jonathan Nolan will introduce Methworld, where Paul plays a host that’s story is a chemistry teacher turned drug lord.…

Aspen Comics drops yet another new series on us this week! Hopefully by now you’ve picked up a couple of these books we’ve reviewed as there are some very special things happening in the world of independent publications. The folks over at Aspen have been kind enough to give us a copy of Dellec Vol #2 Issue #1 so let’s take some time to discuss what’s going on with the story and hopefully entice you to check it out for yourself. To launch a comparison, Dellec is very similar to John Wick. Who doesn’t like John Wick? A kind of…

If you think you’ve been waiting forever for The Winds Of Winter to come out, please consider what it’s like to be a fan of the band Tool. The last time the psychedelic metal ensemble released an album it was 2006. Twelve years, not quite 10,000 Days, but with the amount of stories about them being in the studio, this record should have came out a while ago. It didn’t. Well, now there might be a light at the end of the tunnel. On September 10th, ConsequenceOfSound reported on a tweet sent out by lead singer/wine maker Maynard James Keenan……

Believe me, Nerdbot was in full effect at this year’s Long Beach Comic-Con. Have you ever heard of Reggie and the Full Effect? Yeah… it was like that. Nerdbot was fortunate enough to have the opportunity to partner up with Mad Event Management, the excellent team of convention show runners lead by Martha Donato to help make LBCC…well… a little more nerdy. Nerdbot heeded the call full throttle by bringing the house to the LBC that even included live interviews on our Facebook page, the Nerdplay Girls partying at their booth, and life sized Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles costumes, And yes,…
