They've gone from kid stuff to nerd stuff to ruling the box office, the internet, and popular culture at large. Comic books are no longer merely the province of sweaty outcasts, they're a legitimized vehicle for visual/textual storytelling. Plus superheroes are still pretty cool. In this week's issue of Midnight Breakfast, host David Sharp (@DavidAndSharp on Twitter) is joined by comics geeks Andy Sell (@Andy_Sell), Becky Kluger (@BigDickBecky) and the Brainy Shana as they go deep into their shared histories of nerdery. From Spider-Man, The X-Men, Punisher, Superman, and Batman to all your favorite indie stuff and philosophical graphic novels, we cover a full trade paperback's worth of comedy on the experience of being a COMIC BOOKS fan.

Far from the sterile atmosphere of a studio, Midnight Breakfast gives the listener a seat at the cool kids table with some of the most unique personalities in comedy. David and his friends offer a well-balanced meal of intimacy, philosophy, and silliness, with conversations edited for brevity and hilarity.
