Tame the Dragon: Maxim Searches Dragon Con for the Hottest Cosplay

The secret about uberhot cosplay is out and even Maxim has begun to take notice. Cosplay is most easily described as a costumed depiction of a pop culture figure; think Darth Vader and Spock and not Benjamin Franklin and Abraham Lincoln. Maxim was on hand at this year’s Dragon Con, ready to visually capture the moment, targeting the higher spectrum of cosplay participants in a recent post on the online portion of the ubiquitous Men’s magazine. Girls of Dragon Con, a two-part gallery (part 1 and part 2) dedicated to the stuff of fanboy’s wet dreams, featured a variety of fan favorites, including Psylocke and Phoenix from the X-Men (unfortunately, no Emma Frost), a vintage Silk Spectre, and even a Stephanie Brown Robin (you`ll forget all about Dick Grayson and Tim Drake). These costumes often take dozens of hours to complete, and a dedication to detail and accuracy often reserved for a period film. It is the duty of fellow geeks to take some time to appreciate the hard work and dedication of these attractive young women. Here a few highlights:

Marron’s Comic Quick Pick

Every once in a while, a girl’s got to go back to her roots. Oh, sure, I’m gung-ho over Blackest Night and I always have at least one or two indie comics or comics from smaller publishing companies every week, but once upon a time, I was a one comic company kind of gal. Every [...]

When Goofs Attack:The Legal Battle for Captain America’s Shield

You would think that the year Captain America gets to be reborn would be a good time for Marvel’s red, white, and blue avenger. Yet some fans just won’t let it happen. First there was the Rob Liefield vs. Yellow Hat Guy incident. If you missed that one some douche bag known [...]

Anthony Hopkins Joins the Cast of Thor

Since announcing that an almost unknown Australian actor would be playing the title role in Kenneth Branagh’s Thor, Marvel Studios has added some pretty significant players to co-star with Tom Hiddleston. First Natalie Portman was revealed to be playing Jane Foster, Thor’s mortal love interest, and now Variety is reporting that Anthony Hopkins will [...]

After the Fact: A Look Back at Judd Winick’s Recently Concluded Batman Run

I’m trying out a new column here at eatsleepgeek called After the Fact. I’ve consistently read comics of some sort for the last 25 years. In that time I’ve gone through different phases, bought into fads, gone against the grain of what was popular, and had a commitment to the medium that was anywhere from [...]

Eat Sleep Geek’s 1st Annual Super Hero Pro Bowl – TEAM MARVEL on Offence

After taking a look at Marron’s highly ambitious 5 part geek Halloween Costume blow out, I thought about how awesome multi-part posts are and decided to do one myself. As I’m sure you know the first month of college and NFL seasons are in the books, and the CFL is getting ready for Canada’s [...]

The Second Best Thing Cool Terry Pulled This Week

Well here it is better late then never I guess, so since it’s so late I’m going to talk about some of the stuff I have read in the last couple of weeks. This should have been up sooner but between working up north and packing all of my meagre belongings up for the move [...]
