Brant and I talk about all the news that came out of C2E2 this week. Our thoughts on a few comics that came out this past week. Sadly no Zone 4 segment this week. Then Brant and I conclude with the Weekly Rundown of comics coming out the week of May 7th, 2014.

*Apologies in advance, I was very tired this week due to a REALLY busy schedule and Brant was really awesome and came on the show to help keep me going so I didn't fall asleep mid-cast. Alos, we had a lot of great conversations, and great times as always.

The crew returns with another episode of your favorite Friday Night Delight!

This week, it's Brant, John, Cary and Frank.

We discuss, in a loose format, several news stories and go off on tangents of the X-Men film and so forth. Then we dive into Topic Time talking about our favorite comic films in the past 14 years (though the guys never seem to keep it in that time frame!).

Finally, the guys wrap things up with some announcements.

Chiditorad:

Nerds and nerd-friends! The Chicago Nerd Social Club is proud to be participating in Chiditarod Chicago this Saturday by running the checkpoint station at Emporium Arcade Bar! Chiditarod is now in its 9th year of causing creative mayhem for a good cause: raising funds to benefit local organizations fighting hunger, and raising food donations for the Greater Chicago Food Depository. Last year the Chiditarod Foundation awarded $20K in grant money to organizations fighting hunger, and the event raised over 17K lbs of food and over $34K in funds. If you're interested in helping us smash those records, there are two ways you can do so: 1) Donate funds via our First Giving link - each checkpoint team is doing their part to raise funds for the Chiditarod Foundation. Help us show Chiditarod just how awesome the nerdy, geek community is - whether you're a Chicagoan or from out of town, we'd love to have your support in any amount you are able to give. http://www.firstgiving.com/fundraiser/ChicagoNerdSocialClub/chiditarod-2014 2) Donate food to the checkpoint! Emporium will have a food donation collection box at the bar through the race this Saturday! For a list of what would help the GCFD, go here: http://www.chiditarod.org/race-day-logistics/ And if you're interested in checking out the race, spectators are welcome at the starting line and you can come visit us at Emporium, where we'll be staffing our checkpoint in Star Wars cosplay, with fun games for racers and the ORIGINAL trilogy screening at the bar. Also, Emporium will be carrying a SPECIAL LIMITED BREW from Illuminated Brew Works: ChiditaRye - a dry French Rye Saison, so come on down and try it! Bonus: Emporium is donating a portion of the day's profits to the event! Learn more at www.chiditarod.org.

It's "New Classic" as Cary Kelley and Frank Raynor make their official debut as full co-hosts along with John and Brant. Technical issues abound, just like classic Zone 4, and hilarity ensues. It's a touch of RaynMan, free-flowing classic Zone 4, and our usual brand of insanity!

We discuss the Superbowl commercials, including the trailers for Amazing Spider-Man 2, Captain America: The Winter Soldier, and Transformers: Age of Extinction. And we break down a couple of lists we came across ranking the X-Men and Justice League.

This is it! The 250th episode of Zone 4!

We've promised huge announcements about the future of the show, and boy do we deliver!

The crew opens up with one of their famous radio drama skits to kick things off with a bang. And then it's into a very loose-format show this time around. No headlines, no Topic Time, just general conversation about comics, TV, film and much more!

We do have Facecbook Shout-Outs this week, four of them! And we do have plugs.

And then, of course, there are the announcements. We start sprinkling them throughout the show, then just barrel them out toward the end. There are also audio clips from certain individuals who you'll be hearing from a lot in the future!

Our special guest, Chuck Moore, had to back out sadly, and we missed him, but he'll be back!

So sit back, strap in, and grab some bacon candy... and let the celebration begin!

Welcome back to the Hall of Toys!

Brant and Chris are back with tons of discussion on toys, video games, card games and board games. But this time they have a special guest, as Lisa Moore joins them for the whole show!

First up, it's Toy Talk, with possibly our longest list of toys yet! From Power Rangers, to Power Batteries, from Tribbles to Transformers, we cover it all!

Then it's Game Gab, as Lisa kicks things off with a discussion of Hearthstone. From there, it's Nintendo's Network being down, Kickstarter games, Game of the Year and more!

After that, it's Table Top Talk, as we learn a certain video game and comic franchise has a game on Kickstarter, plus the Woodbury Expansion for The Walking Dead and more!

And finally, it's And... Action Figure! All three give a pick, plus an honorable mention

Kick off your New Year with HALL OF TOYS! And listen to Zone 4 #250 this Friday for a special announcement about the show!

And don't forget to check out the Dark Avenger INC online store, where you can now purchase a Hall of Toys t-shirt!
