Those of you who are also huge Kevin Smith fans (or just wanted to catch a preview of next week’s The Walking Dead) no doubt checked out his latest show, Comic Book Men on AMC this past Sunday.  Having recently gotten my Smith fix at Kevin Smith’s Live from Behind event, I was ready for [...]

Review: Thief of Thieves #1

February 12, 2012 in Comic Talk

The following is a guest post from the most excellent Casey Dawson whose work you can also find on GeeksPodcast.  Going forward he’ll be a regular contributor here with his OWN account, but because I forgot to create it sooner it looks like I wrote this.  I didn’t.   -Joshua Thief of Thieves is a [...]

Jack and I have done it again!  That is to say, we’ve reviewed 3 more books, done a goofy skit, and shed our dignity for your entertainment.  Not like we’ve revolutionized solar power or anything in case you got your hopes up.  But, we did have a lot of fun shooting this episode so check it [...]

Review: Nightwing #5 – Unholy Matrimony

January 20, 2012 in Comic Talk

Initially I was a bit turned off by the cover of this one.  I mean, not just because it’s kind of gross but because after all of the great stories I’ve read from The New 52 having a cross between a klingon and what appears to be the fruit cellar lady from Evil Dead grace [...]
