NERD! Episode 34: Youngblood (1992, Image Comics) with Special Guest Mike Slater

Join mega nerds Dre Alvarez and Jeff May as they geek out on a different nerdy cultural touchstone every month. Part reminiscence, part historical deep dive. This month, Dre and Jeff are joined by the incredible Mike Slater (who is not only a great musician, but he actually recorded a theme song for THIS SPECIFIC EPISODE) as they finish their season on "Comic Origins" with Rob Liefeld's Youngblood.There's a lot to unpack about this significant comic series that may have kickstarted a market crash, so let's NOT string up our bow, copy a bunch of our own art and character designs, and put style WAY over substance, as we take a look at four issues that would change the landscape of comics forever and is also financially worthless. And, of course, don't forget to follow Mike (@slatron11) Dre (@nerdnumbers) and Jeff (@heytherejeffro2 or @heytherejeffro) on the socials, and have a nerdy day!AND CHECK OUT MIKESLATER.COM for more, including detailed show notes by our incredible guest, as well as Patreon.com/jeffmay for early access to shows like this and Jeff Has Cool Friends, and so much more!
