Mo and Joe: Fighting Together Forever, by Dean Haspiel and Jay Lynch, is much more like an adult graphic novel than the other two books we received. The layout and formatting are very much like a typical comic book, and the illustrations are a lot more realistic. Greg preferred this book over the other two, [...]

Out of all the books we received, Stinky was my personal favorite.
Written and illustrated by comic newcomer Eleanor Davis, this book follows the story of Nick, a young boy who has just moved to a new home, and Stinky, a monster living in the woods behind Nick’s new house. Nick is building a tree house [...]

Our recent post on kids and comics caught the attention of some publishers who were kind enough to send us several kids’ graphic novels to look over, so Greg and I decided we’d review them this week for our readers.
Jack and the Box, the first book we read, was written and illustrated by Art Spiegelman, [...]

So about a month ago, we were approached by the folks behind the new series Kirill, a sci-fi drama being showcased on the web. The show is a collaboration between MSN UK and Endemol UK, and stars British actor David Schofield as the lead character. (You might be familiar with his work in Pirates of [...]

As you all know (unless you live in a very remote area of Siberia without any outside contact whatsoever, and in that case, how the heck are you reading our blog?), the US Presidential Elections are being held this Tuesday, November 4th. This election is extremely important for America, and it’s imperative that we all [...]

So, I’m not sure if you guys have caught on to this or not, but I’m a HUGE fan of the X-Files. I started watching them when I was a third grader. Season one, episode one. And I watched religiously until the series finale on May 19th, 2002. Needless to say, seeing the era of [...]

So I was doing my RPG thing on Saturday (Mage this week) and Greg decided to hit Elite Comics for our weekly fix.
It was a light week and he had some of his weekly comic budget left over, so he brought me a surprise.
Some boys bring their ladies a dozen roses.
Mine brought me a dozen [...]

Every Saturday afternoon, I get together with my good friends Bill and Josh to play either Mage or Dungeons & Dragons. I’ve always kind of been baffled at the parents who shield their kids from RPGs because they’re “full of Satanic rituals,” and all that crap. I remember my dad telling me the same thing [...]

A lot of you have probably already seen this super-hot, super nerdy Nintendo bikini by John Nouanesing. The Geekini, as he calls it, is just a prototype and isn’t for sale yet, but may be available by next summer for your favorite geek girl to wear.
We’ve all seen the standard t-shirts featuring Mario, Princess, Bowser, [...]

As most of you hardcore nerds probably already know, Iron Man comes out at the end of the month. It will hit stores on Tuesday, September 30th. That’s only two weeks! Can’t wait for that one. Both a regular version and a 2-disc collector’s edition will be released for DVD and Blu-Ray. Interesting fun fact: [...]
