Episode 554: Valiant's Nintendo Comics (Patreon)

Nadia: Children of the '80s learned a valuable lesson early in life. Why make your parents agonize over a Nintendo addiction or a comic book addiction when you can do both and make them rend their clothes over your enthusiasm for Nintendo-themed comic books? Truly Satan came to our houses disguised as Valiant's Nintendo Comics System, a short-lived series produced by some surprising comic legends. Nadia puts her head together with fellow weirdos Matt Green and Daniel Kaszor and they kibbitz about this weird hiccup in Valiant Comics' history. From Mario's goofy adventures to Link's valiant quests to, "This rendition of Samus is pretty hot, actually," they talk about it all.
