    Should Comics Be Fun? #152 [BLack Nerd Podcast]

    Comic books without a doubt have become more mainstream in recent years but recently due to several internal & external issues, their public perception of them had somewhat gone downhill especially the rise of Japanese comics. A lot of people state the rising success of manga over comics is due to the balance of a fun story alongside a story with depth. Certain companies have adapted to these critiques while others have continued the stereotypical comic path. Some may feel comics are fine the way they are, others may feel this change is needed. Do comics need to take themselves less seriously & have some fun or does the audience need to change? Let’s see.

    You Still Scared To Be A Nerd? [Black Nerd Podcast]

    Why We’re Still Hiding Our Power Levels In an era where The Mandalorian is mainstream and anime is the most-streamed genre in the world, the "Blerd" should be at peak confidence. But for many of us, the trauma of the "blerd-calling" era hasn't fully healed. Whether it’s hiding the manga volumes when company comes over or "code-switching" our interests to fit a specific image of Blackness, the fear of social exile is real. Today, we’re peeling back the layers on the internal and external pressures that make us hesitate to go "Full Weeb." Are we afraid of being nerds, or are we afraid of losing our connection to the culture? It’s time to level up.

    The Fall Of WWE #149 [Black Nerd Podcast]

    While "falling" is a strong word—especially since WWE remains a multibillion-dollar powerhouse—the product has certainly entered a "cooling-off" period in 2026. After the massive highs of the "Renaissance Era" (2022–2024), fans and analysts are pointing to several cracks in the armor.

    "Blade/ Supergirl" Crossover: Big Publishers Finally Taking Risks? #148 [Black Nerd Podcast]

    In a move that caught the comic world off guard, Marvel and DC have bypassed the traditional "Event Comic" hype machine to drop an exclusive digital crossover: Supergirl/Blade. Written by CRC Payne (Batman: Wayne Family Adventures) and featuring the atmospheric art of Mikel Janín, this one-shot marks a massive shift in how the "Big Two" collaborate. Trapped by the interdimensional media mogul Mojo in a literal "Vampire Romance" reality show, the Girl of Steel and the Daywalker have to navigate a world where the tropes are as deadly as the villains. But beyond the fun of seeing a Kryptonian accidentally incinerate a vampire with heat vision, this episode dives into the deeper implications of this specific pairing.

    Nerds To The Moon! #147 [Black Nerd Podcast]

    History is being made, but is it being made for us? This week, Marcus breaks down the monumental Artemis II flyby, discussing the profound impact of seeing the first person of color and the first woman head toward the lunar far side. We’re moving past the "Hidden Figures" era and into the "Main Character" era of space exploration. But it’s not all heavy science—the pod dives deep into the "cosmic" trend taking over nerd culture this week. From the orchestral magic of the Super Mario Galaxy movie to the brutal reality of The Boys Season 5 premiere, we’re asking the tough questions: Can Butcher actually pull it off? And why is Homelander still the scariest thing on television?
