You would have been 52 today, and we all still miss you.
It’s been a rough year for most of us, but in Geek Culture there have been plenty of bright spots. In the spirit of trumpeting some of the good stuff, here’s my Annual Holiday Gift Guide: HOLLY JOLLY: CELEBRATING CHRISTMAS PAST IN POP CULTURE Written by Mark Voger • TwoMorrows • 192 pp. • Hardcover,…
The 1980s were littered with small production companies, many of which had one or two notable successes and a lot of schlock. As the audience tastes changed, and the blockbuster became ever more important, these houses – Golan-Globus, Cannon, Avco Embassy, and of course, Carolco. That latter studio had one surprise smash hit, First Blood,…
Several hundred thousand people — mostly girls, mostly under the age of fifteen — already have very strong opinions on this book in particular and Raina Telgemeier in general, and it’s unlikely that anything this One Old Guy could say will shift any of them in the slightest. (And most of them love it and…
My first reaction to this book is idiosyncratic and petty; it may also come off as a minor spoiler. So flee now if you need to. If you call your organization the “Knights” of something, it implies certain things: people chosen for specific qualities, organizational structure, a martial bent.

That one covered the bulk of the war: how Rene got into it, his capture and transfer far…
HBO’s adaptation of Michael Crichton’s Westworld is an interesting barometer of geekdom’s temperature. The first season arrived and it was a cause celebre, given its rich, sprawling cast, topical questions about the role of AI in our lives, and plenty of violence and nudity. The second season clearly went off the rails and people questioned…
It is an odd and interesting thing: the biography of someone whose life is badly-recorded and full of gaps. It’s even more quirky when that person didn’t really do anything in his life, and even the records of where that person was are messy and often missing. But Bill Griffith, cartooning king of all things…
We just wish Dennis O’Neil were here to see this. Bruce Timm takes the Dark Knight back to the 1970s for a supernatural-laden martial arts extravaganza in Batman: Soul Of The Dragon, the next entry in the popular series of the DC Universe Movies. Set in the midst of the swinging 1970s, this Elseworlds adventure…
Nobody would want Brian Fies’s career, not matter how many books he sells and how many awards he wins. Two of his three major books to date have been pure “making lemonade” activities: he went through things no one wants to and came out the other side to write about them. First was Mom’s Cancer,…
