Discovering The Doctor

A little over a year ago I realized that I needed to make a change in life.  That change was really quite simple because I wasn’t changing who I was, just enjoying it more.  I decided to embrace the fact that I am in fact a geek and I shouldn’t be ashamed of it.   I…

How Microsoft SHOULD have launched the Surface

What feels like not long ago I found myself sitting on an airplane next to a lawyer at Microsoft. As I pulled out my iPad, a conversation ensued to which I naturally asked her about the upcoming Surface. Although she had not had a chance to have any first hand experience with it, she had…

Quips From A Clerk: Won’t Somebody Please Think Of The Children?!

This week, we’re going to bring our aim to the younger crowd. Comic fans are getting older, spawning off their own offspring, and they want to bring their young into the scene. But what to show them? Batman gets a little dark. Superior Spider-Man might be a little hard to explain to a 4 year…

Bachman’s Best – Pacific Rim

No shocker here. The best thing I saw last week, which was actually last night, was giant robots fighting giant monsters, Pacific Rim! The new love child of director phenom Guillermo del Toro is a tour de force smashing sci-fi epic. 255 tons of total bad assery indeed. This is my favorite film of the…

One of the hottest debates right now is Superior Spider-Man. I have argued with my co-host on All Things Good and Nerdy (along with a few guest hosts) and was asked to come on Comic Book Legends podcast to continue the debate. I’ve talked to numerous people in the comic shop, in conventions and on…

Wednesday’s Webcomic: Manly Guys Doing Manly Things

I love comics that are as intricately layered as a well-made buttery, chocolate croissants. Manly Guys Doing Manly Things is good enough to be relished with only the finest cappuccino. On the surface is a hilarious rough-and-tumble parody of macho video game heroes and their chest-beating tropes, but if you peel back the surface you find…
