Graphic Novel Review: "A Princess of Mars"

Last night I made a visit to my local bookstore, and the cover of this book immediately caught my attention. I think it was the color scheme (being an art lover and all, I'm drawn to nice-looking books). But did I ever learn to not judge a book by it's cover. I read this book in about an hour last night. Before this point, I was not familiar with the story of John Carter. I know, right? GASP! I mean...I'd heard the name and that, I suppose, was my only saving grace. I quick Google search revealed the correlation I suspected in my head: "Hey...this WAS adapted for the movie screen by Disney". Ah-ha! I am ashamed to admit that I've never read "Under the Moons of Mars", but this graphic novel has seriously gotten me interested! I think it's a good intro for people like me who are a little on the Science Fictionally Challenged side (I just made up that condition. You owe me a quarter every time you use it. My paypal account is....nevermind.). In all seriousness, it was great for the purpose of introducing the concept of John Carter's journey...science fiction in general...etc. But that's about where the greatness stops. Except the art. I can't forget the art. That's for later, though.

Random Geekery: "Anti-Matter" Show Episode #5!!

I have a new hero. Her name is Kaitlin and she's all about kicking some guy ass using that giant brain of hers! Seriously, though. I LOVED Episode #5 of "Anti-Matter" simply because it's nice to see a girl put so many guys in their place! Hahaha. I know, I know. I sound like some feminist but here's the thing: I'm not. Swear to Thor! Kaitlin is just what all geek girls strive to be. I don't want to give away anything, so I can't really say much. What I AM going to say is that I enjoyed this episode of "Anti-Matter" because of the humor. It was tied into the skit in a clever, sneaky way. Way to go, guys! Show=SUCCESS! Here's a shout-out to my buddy Chris Walker! I believe in what you're doing and you have my support 100%! Just keep it up, ok? <3

Webcomic Review: Sakana No Sadness!!

Today, I decided to review a webcomic and am I ever glad I did! Thanks to a reader suggestion, I have decided to bring you "Sakana No Sadness" (by Simon H)! What's funny, is I know many, many guys who seem just like the main character, Hideo. Hideo is the stereotypical nerdy guy who lives in his parent's basement. He never leaves and spends his days in the dark surrounded by the soft, artificial glow of a computer screen. Hideo has a robotic assistant named Pin. When a package is delivered one day, Pin is the one to go to the door to receive it. The package is Baking Soda and Hideo is excited beyond all belief. The story shifts to Hideo finishing up his creation: a robot who comes to decide that her name is Sakana.
