If you are anything like me, your walls and shelves are adorned with posters, plushies, and action figures from all things even slightly nerd related. We take pride in collecting things from games, movies, films, and animes that we thoroughlyย enjoy, and Mark Hamill‘s new showย Pop Culture Quest celebrates that very venture.
You may recognize Mark Hamill as Luke Skywalker, or maybe as The Joker, or maybe even as the Trickster inย The Flash.ย Needless to say, Hamill really needs no introduction. Now he is teaming up with Comic-Con HQ to bring usย Pop Culture Quest.ย The internet show will provide viewers with not only a look at Hamill’s personal collection but his conquest to add more to his collection. Hamill is joined by a puppetedย friend, Pop, voiced by Dan Milano, and together they delve down the nerdy rabbit hole. Pop Culture Questย is a 10 episode series that will provide background on anything fromย Power Rangers ย to sneakers. Unfortunately, the series is only available the Comic-Con HQ’s subscription service, but lucky for us, the first two episodes are available on YouTube.

The first episode features Hamill visiting DC Comics’ headquarters to speak with Jim Lee, one of their main comic artists. After a brief summary of Batman’s history with Detective Comics and aย brief look into their archive, Jim Lee draws up a Joker sketch that would make anyone jealous.
