Better late than never, the difference between PopCultureShock and these other podcasts is that PCS run on CP time (as explained in detail in the intro of Part 2 here lol). Jokes aside, we also hit a bunch of more serious topics in our two-part wrap up.

Comicon is over but Ernie, Shola & Jon are here to leave you with some final thoughts.

SDCC Wrap-Up, Part 1
• How Comicon has changed over the years for press, fans and retailers
• Our cool swag
• How to pick up geek girls

SDCC Wrap-Up, Part 2
• The difference between CP time and BP time
• Comics on Kindle
• News wrap ups for Archaia, Dark Horse and more



The WHC crew tackles a huge stack this week — a trio of Blackest Night books, a couple Ultimate Comics debuts, Marvels Projects and more.
