New is good isn't it?
Well with a new theme and all new features we hope you'll enjoy a new direction for Nine Panel Nerds.
Please let us know what you, the listener, thinks'!
Enjoy and we hope you enjoy!

Believe it or not, there were other summer movies besides the two powerhouse juggernauts' of Iron Man and Dark Knight.
So in our continued court mandated public service, the panel looks at the other films that were released in 08 but may have been overlooked.
Plus some listener mail.

Wow this show is huge!
Not from the stand point that it's important. (It's not.)
But episode 51 is loooong. Like close to an hour 45 long.
What have we to talk about for so long?
Well it starts off with previews then we delve into the new season of nerd television shows and what WE think of them.
So join us!
You'll be glad you did.

The Panel is back together as we discuss on-going series compared to finite ones.
What makes a better read?
Which of us thinks finite is better, or the other way round?

In this special Dave sits down with Brian and Scott as they regale us about their road trip to Las Vegas for the Diamond Comic Retailer Summit which happened on September 7-9th.

In this special episode, Luke sits down with comic book writer Dwight MacPherson, the writer of a number of small press titles including "Archibald Saves Christmas," "The Surreal Adventures of Edgar Allan Poo," and "M-Theory."  They talk about writing, the comics business, Hollywood, mullets, and anything else that might occur to them at the time.  Visit Dwight on-line at www.myspace.com/dwightlmacpherson.

What cartoons did we grow up on?
Prefect topic on a rainy night down at Buried Under Comics.

It's interview time once again, and today, Cross sits down with famed 
penciler Chris Batista. You've seen his work for DC Comics, most 
recently on Robin, but also on Firestorm, Legion of Super-Heroes, and 
JLA. And if you read Marvel Comics back in the early 1990s, you saw 
his art there as well, gracing such books as X-Factor and G.I. Joe. 
Listen in as Cross and Chris talk about heat waves, breaking into the 
comic book business, animation, and midgets...I mean, "little people."

A few shows ago one of our audience members asked "When did comics become more than funny books to you? So we take up the issue (no pun intended) and tell you what comics or specific issues are the one's that changed how we looked at comics as a medium. Then the Panel weighs in on a issue close to Boss-man Brian..Should low selling comics be cancelled to make room for better selling ones?
