The new Overstreet’s here! The new Overstreet’s here!

| March 29, 2009

Overstreet Comic Book Price Guide No, I’m not sounding an alarm like Paul Revere. It’s more an homage to Steve Martin in The Jerk – sort of a The Nerd version. Anyways, Spring is here and that brings new hope, new beginnings, the Phillies, and, of course, the new Overstreet Comic Book Price Guide! Being [...]

X-Force/Cable: Messiah War Review

| March 28, 2009

Intern’s Corner Ok, so I walked in the door today, and went over to the new comics section. Instead of letting Dave pick out a random comic for me to read and review I decided to pick one up myself. Since I was a kid, I have absolutely loved the X-Men. Comics, movies, cartoons, video [...]

Michael Sarver is gone! Our American Idol contest just got easier!

| March 27, 2009

Last night, Michael Sarver was eliminated from the top ten on American Idol. Not to brag, but I called that one – nice guy, but not in the league with most of the rest. So… your chances of calling the correct order of the final 7 just became a little easier. In case you haven’t [...]

| March 25, 2009

Last week was X-Men/Wolverine week and this week there is a hefty selection of Dark Reign and War of Kings titles and everything Avengers (Don’t believe me? Have a look at the New Comics List). I love that stuff, but let’s not overlook these other “four-color” charmers. Click on the images for a full description [...]

Geekdom and Ring Tones

| March 23, 2009

Kita’s Corner So it has been made abundantly aware to me that more and more of us are customizing our ring tones. When someone calls you it is more likely that a sound far from that of a phone ringing will alert us to pick up. I am guilty of this just like everyone else. [...]

Time to Confess, so Paul will make a contest out of it

| March 22, 2009

For our faithful readers of this site, you’ve gotten an incite into some of the likes and dislikes of Dave and Kita recently. Jesse the Intern has been given the task of reviewing comics that perhaps he wouldn’t have read, had not Dave given him the assignment – I think we may have a convert. [...]

A Quick Review of Transmetropolitan #1

| March 22, 2009

Intern’s Corner Ok, so I’m going to go ahead and use this to write about comics and such whenever I get a chance. I will review whatever comics are handed to me by Dave, Joe, or Kita. Earlier this week, Dave handed me the Transmetropolitan #1 Special Edition. This comic is part of Vertigo’s “After [...]

This Week’s Must-Read Comics (3/18-3/24)

| March 18, 2009

I could have filled the whole page with X-Men and Wolverine titles–they are all coming out this week. But don’t let some of the smaller titles like Phantom get lost in the “X” wave. Click on the images for a full description of the picks. Check out the cover gallery for ALL of this week’s [...]

SciFi Becomes Syfy In July

| March 17, 2009

Uh, say what now? “SciFi Channel will change its name to Syfy Channel on July 7th, when it launches the new series Warehouse 13, according to TV Week. The network believes that the new name more accurately reflects content on the channel, which is broader than traditional science fiction.  Warehouse 13, about a secret government [...]

Book Review – The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao

| March 16, 2009

In what seems like the start of a trend, I present a review of something other than a comic, again written by someone other than me (don’t cheer too hard), and again written by a bold woman. The reviewer is a dear friend of mine who through her intelligence, inquisitiveness, and sense of humor has [...]
