To me getting an independently published comic to review is like opening your stocking on Christmas morning. Sure they’re not the main event but they are always a legitimate surprise. DC, Marvel, Dark Horse, and even Image are sort of like the presents under the tree, you have expectations of what you want [...]
Another glorious week for comics, I think! Comics are seeping into our lives and our culture a little bit every day. Some people I’ve talked to don’t even realize how influenced by comics the TV show Heroes really is, for instance. And still other people I’ve met have started reading comics after watching blockbuster movies [...]
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 [...]
After an unexpected hiatus last week, I’m back to spread the word about all of the awesome comics that are coming out this week. For those of you that don’t know, I’m also and artist and a graphic designer, and I’ve been working on a project for a national charity that’s been eating up my [...]
Here we are, the end of the week and only two weeks left until Halloween! We’ve seen the best of the best and the worst of the worst as far as superhero Halloween costumes go this week, so what’s left? Well, I’ve got a few things here for us to take a look at. Just [...]
We’re winding down now and getting into the last two days of my five-day guide to comic book related Halloween costumes. So far, in part 1, we saw the best male costumes (I got a lot of twitter comments about that one!); in part 2, we saw the best female costumes (which elicited a few [...]
You’ve seen the best superhero costumes for both guys and gals to geek out in this Halloween, but what about the rest? Sure, there are some decent costumes out there that I didn’t list — but there are also some horrible costumes that should be avoided at all costs. Let’s take a look at some [...]
It’s hard to find good female superhero costumes that are tasteful, but there are a few out there! Today, we continue on with my five-part guide to superhero Halloween costumes. In Part 2 of the Geek Chic guide for Halloween, we take a look at the best adult female Halloween costumes!

Here we are; a week closer to Halloween. Last week’s comics were pretty good. Did you enjoy them? What about this week? What’s going on that you’re excited about. It seems like when there’s too many comics for me to choose from that it becomes far too difficult for me to narrow down my top [...]
It’s been a busy and productive week. I can’t go into too many details right now, but your Friendly Neighborhood Marron is working on a project for a huge nationwide charity organization that involves drawing a comic. For those of you who don’t know, this geeky lover of all things comic and Star Trek-related is [...]
Heroes: Chapter 5: Tabula Rasa
Peter/Hiro/Emma:
After fainting in Peter’s living room last week, everybody’s favorite paramedic brings his buddy Hiro to the hospital. When Hiro wakes up he thanks Peter and tells him that now when he’s jumping through time that he is brought where he needs to go, but ever since he learned how to [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
I don’t think that anyone was expecting this.
This November, Playboy is going to be issuing a very special issue commemorating the 20th anniversary of The Simpsons and the bombshell that is concealing her assets behind the white glossy chair is none other that the ravishing blue haired wife of Homer J. Simpson.
No more will you [...]
