As you’re all probably aware, I’m fairly new to the geek world and its wonders. I had always been a weird human being. I had never really fit in anywhere and never really understood why. Now I know. I am a geek, and I am proud of it. Since delving into the geek world, I have been overwhelmed with the new. All five of my senses have been filled with the fantastical and I want to share with you my top ten discoveries since diving headfirst into the wonderful world of geekery.
10. Geek Art
I am an art admirer but recently I have discovered the overabundance of geek art floating around cyberspace. Most of the art I like best is created by the talented fans of yonder. My favourite type of art is pixel art and below are a couple of pieces that I made myself, inspired by those online:
9. Graphic Novels and Comic Books
I never really got into graphic novels until very recently, and even now a confession I must admit to is not yet owning any comic books. Having read more graphic novels, I have pretty much become addicted to them. I can now really appreciate the work and skill it takes to create such masterpieces and I will be continuing on with this love.
8. Marvel and DC
Yes, I know what you’re all thinking. I did enjoy these universes before but I skimmed over them with the same apathy I have for celebrities and make up. Now, however, I have fallen head over heels for these universes and with each moment I spend with them, whether it is reading the comics or playing the games, I love them more and more.
7. Fellow Whovians
They actually exist! I knew that there were other people out there who enjoyed Doctor Who, but never had I met a fellow Whovian who loved the programme quite as much as I do. Upon discovering all those who love the show as much as me, this was my face:
6. Simon Pegg and Nick Frost
In short, these people are geniuses. Another confession here: I only saw Shaun of the Dead about five months ago. Yeah, it’s true. These people can make me laugh with a simple look and have me rolling on the floor with a single line. Smart, talented and fellow geeks. Perfection in a box, but, not in a box, just perfection.
5. Gaming as a Way of Life
I used to be a casual gamer; my Xbox used to be sat silent for days, sometimes weeks. Now, however, there isn’t a day that goes by where I’m not sat screaming at my TV because my character fell off something I didn’t want them to fall off or that damn fish ate me again! Gaming is now a part of not only what I do, but also who I am.
4. Archer
This programme is absolutely hilarious. I watched most of this whilst slowly dying in bed but there wasn’t a moment whilst it was on that I wasn’t smiling. The writing is genius, the graphics are dark and sophisticated and there is never a dull moment. I guess we’re in the danger zone.
3. Firefly
I’ve done an entire article on this programme so I won’t restart my love rant. In short, this programme is the epitome of perfection and it will always be in my heart.
2. Invader Zim
Just because I watch cartoons doesn’t mean I am a child. It means I am a child living in an adult’s body. Upon discovering this programme, I power housed my way through every single episode and loved and laughed through it all. Not only is the writing amazing but the graphics are wonderfully colourful and there isn’t a single boring moment on the screen.
Plus Gir. I mean, that robot is the cutest thing to grace my screen since I used to watch My Little Pony.
1. The People
Finally, the people. Whilst writing for Geek Pride, I have met some amazing people. Each person has different likes, dislikes, loves and hates. Each person has their own personality that is as individual as a snowflake. I never thought that I would find people who I would be able to hold a conversation with without having to talk about stuff I don’t really know about. If I’m excited about something, I can scream until my lungs are sore and not one of them would give me a single weird look.
I think this is my personal best discovery since becoming a geek. I have finally found a group of people that make me feel like I finally belong somewhere.
Comics for Equality (or ComiX4=, depending on how cool you feel like being) is running a competition entitled *deep breath* The European Award for the Best Unpublished Comics by Authors with Migrant Backgrounds. It’s a mouthful to say and a handful to type, but it’s actually a pretty simple concept: write and draw a short comic falling into one of the three categories -Stereotypes; Stories of Migration; and The Fight Against Racism- and you could win €1,000.
Now doesn’t that sound like fun?
Also, this logo is frickin’ adorable
The deadline for submissions is July 30th, and entry is open to EU member states, EFTA countries and countries on the way to membership. If you have a story you want to tell, hustle on over there and get scribbling! If you don’t, get over there anyway and have a read through some of the entries, because they are epic- I’m particularly fond of Petronela Dostalova’s short-but-sweet “Red Met Yellow”. You can also vote for your favourites by clicking the Like button.
As I had a month off from university I decided to set myself a challenge: a month of movies.
Every night for the period that I was off university I would watch a film that I had never watched before. I figured that it would be pretty educational… if I was doing film studies, which I’m not but I don’t care, you can’t stop me, I’m doing it anyway, seeing as I can’t drive to Chicago and jump on a float to sing Twist and Shout Ferris Bueller style.
There isn’t a proper list that I’m following and a lot of the movies will probably be chosen spontaneously depending on my mood. There are some movies that I plan to watch as it seems that everyone else in the world has seemed to have seen them except for me, some are recommendations and some are picked because I’d heard of them or seen their name once and am intrigued by them. Not all of the movies will be geeky but I figure planning a month of movies is a pretty geeky thing so why not let you, the great readers of Geek Pride, follow my month? I’ll be posting weekly updates, listing the films I watched in that week with brief reviews on them and any recommendations I have. Like I said, the list isn’t set in stone so any recommendations are much appreciated.
So I guess I should probably say what kind of viewer I am…
I love movies (duh! otherwise I wouldn’t be doing this) and am pretty good at recalling scenes and lines from scripts. I watch pretty much any genre except I don’t watch horrors, I just can’t deal with them. I have an overactive imagination and highly vivid dreams and I can just imagine that the next week or two would be filled with dreams of being chased by clowns with chainsaws or ghosts like Casper or whatever happens in horror films – I’m really not well informed about them. I’m not embarrassed okay maybe I’m a little bit embarrassed to say that I can cry easily at a film so I sometimes need to be careful that I don’t cry a flood as I don’t have an ark to save myself with. I can watch pretty much anything else although I can get easily distracted so it takes something very interesting to stop me from pausing the film and procrastinating from watching, which you may not think is possible but it definitely is. I try to be fair to films but I’m not afraid to rant about them if they disappoint me.
Anyway, that seems to be enough information for you to go on before I embark on my epic cinematic journey through the world of movies with no decided route. Will I make it out alive? Will I take the blue or red pill? Will I make it back from Mount Doom with my gardener? Will I find my way back from Wonderland? Will I [insert reference to a famous movie which details a sort of journey or decision which is epic in proportion and will make you fear for my life while respect my bravery]?
See you for week one’s update and don’t be shy to send any recommendations my way in the comments!
Unlike pretty much every other celebration in the western calendar, I actually find I enjoy April Fools Day more and more each year. This owes a lot to the vast amount of respectable companies who can’t resist trolling us all. And man, these guys are pros…
Coming from HBOWatch.com, fans were held on the end of the slightly-fraying elastic band of “Such a reputable source… but it’s April 1st! Gah!” before HBOWatch revealed their prank with the following epic image…
Seems that the way to a geek’s feels is to tell them a popular show will lose its main or most beloved character, as bloody-disgusting.com also used this tactic. Andrew Lincoln lives to shoot zombies in the head another day, which is just as well because when you have the chance to kill zombies -even if only for pretend- you grab it with both hands and do not let go.
This was one that James Buckingham and I came up with right here on Geek Pride- I supplied the premise and the Miley quote, Bucky whipped up the logo and a pro-sounding news article. I’m impressed that a fair few people were fooled- if only until they spotted that the first tag on that piece was ‘April Fool’…
It wasn’t just us though, director Bryan Singer also floated the idea of Dazzler on the big screen, tweeting:
[quote]“I can finally announce @ladygaga is joining #XMen #DaysofFuturePast as Dazzler. One of my all-time favorite characters. Can’t wait!”[/quote]
Some April Fools excite fans, only to cruelly let them down. Most revolve around dishing out bad news that people will drop to their knees and pray to any deity who’ll listen to make it all go away.
Twitter announced that they would be charging users for vowels and instead forcing them to wrt lk ths ll th tm or shell out $5 per vowel- this sentence alone would cost $250, unless you count Y, then it’s $260. Brutal.
I’m not sure if that would be amazing, or terrifying. Possibly both, definitely fake. To be fair, I can understand why people would fall for this- Virgin launched trips to space years ago, frankly there’s nothing they can announce that I wouldn’t believe. Except maybe “Virgin Atlantic Staffed Entirely by Virgins”. Maybe.
Welcome to our first feature of character fan art. The geek umbrella covers a number of different mediums from TV to comics to gaming, each featuring a range of beloved characters. To celebrate the diversity of our interests I intend to bring a regular selection of different artists take on one character.
Today’s chosen character is Wario, I know, an odd choice, but I didn’t want to go for the obvious characters first. Making his first appearance in Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins for the Gameboy back in 1992, this antagonist has gone onto have his own range of games.
Interesting fact I didn’t know: The name Wario is a combination of Mario and the Japanese adjective warui meaning ‘bad’ thus a ‘bad’ Mario. I just thought they had turned the M upside down.
Let’s start with a cutesie version of this bad boy, Poutty Wario by sillysimeongurl:
This final piece of Mass Effect 3 DLC is a great swan song for the trilogy and is the best bit of Mass Effect DLC since Lair of the Shadow Broker. The Citadel is split into two distinct sections, the first half concerns investigating and fighting against a mysterious group of mercenaries before you get to relax while meeting comrades both past and present in the second half.
It begins with Commander Shepard being ordered to take some long overdue shore leave on the Citadel by Admiral Hackett and is given Commander Andersons plush apartment to stay in. However you soon find yourself under attack by a group of Mercenaries led by an unexpected enemy and you must rally the crew (past and present) to find out why they want you dead.
Unfortunately the mercenaries prove to be uninspired enemies; as little more than generic reskinned Cerberus soldiers they fall in droves without posing much of a challenge apart from in one or two instances. The new locations were interesting, the Citadel archives hold plenty of fascinating references to important Mass Effect events but I expected slightly more impressive areas to fight through.
A nice feature is the crew competing in cut scenes between missions to accompany you, as if they know this is their last hurrah and begin complaining when they get left behind. Those you don’t choose do nonetheless feature in missions, forming separate fire teams who you see fighting nearby as you progress through each location. It’s a nice, purely cosmetic touch, as you fight alongside all your comrades one last time.
Throughout the story there is some great dialogue with plenty of hilarious one liners and comic moments between Shepard and his crew. It’s some of the strongest writing in the Mass Effect series which is all well delivered by some tremendous voice acting, especially from fan favourite Wrex. The first half is all neatly tied up in a few hours, the mercenaries section is self contained and won’t have any direct impact on the wider Mass Effect 3 story apart from a few additional war assets and references later in the game.
Once the fighting is over everything moves onto the social aspect of the DLC, allowing you to explore the new section of the Citadel where you can play a selection of minigames in the Casino, purchase vanity items for the apartment and take part in an offline mode of the Multiplayer. There are lots of little funny references and the attention to tiny details brings the area to life and made it a joy to explore.
Throughout the second half you receive emails from squad mates which let you invite them to the apartment to hang out or arrange to meet in the Citadel. Each meeting gives a short cut scene to talk or reminisce, they vary between funny, serious and somber but all are quite touching in their own way. This cumulates in a party at your apartment, everyone gathered together for one last night and enjoying themselves, with the final moments being especially poignant.
The ending of Mass Effect 3 caused quite a significant amount of debate and plenty of disappointment amongst its fans. The Citadel DLC, combined with the extended cut, finally gives fans a chance to say a proper farewell to Shepard and the crew of the Normandy that the Mass Effect trilogy truly deserves.
We’ve still got a while to wait for the next series of True Blood, especially over here in the UK as the first episode doesn’t air until 16th June in the US. Excitement this Easter weekend however, as HBO released the first taste of what’s in store for Sookie and co. this June.
Series six will only bring us ten episodes rather than the typical twelve, due to Anna Paquin being on maternity leave, although arguably, Sookie Stackhouse is the least interesting thing about this show. Saying that, I think we can expect more of Sookie this season than the last, with the search for Warlow, a mysterious character introduced in the last series being a possible center-point this Summer. However, it’s been suggested that rather than Sookie, it will be Jason at the centre of the hunt for Warlow, so maybe we’ll see more of him this series.
Bill the vampire god?
That, or Bill being an ubervamp (hopefully there are some Buffy fans out there who’ll actually get that reference). That’s right folks, those closing scenes of series five had our usual charming fellow Bill Compton ‘reborn’ as some sort of vampire demi-god.
After drinking the vampire ‘god’ Lilith’s blood, Bill appeared to be destroyed before being resurrected from a pool of blood before letting out a lovely demonic roar. So, what could be in store for Bill this season? Let’s take a look at the teaser released over the weekend.
Okay, so it’s only thirty seconds long, but what a fabulous, fang-filled thirty seconds it is. We see everyone in a state of utter panic and a suggestion of a war between vampires and humans rising, which was built up in series five. Jason appears to be on the hunt for answers regarding his family’s past and Bill is running around being a naked, blood-covered lunatic.
Werewolves only make a slight appearance with Joe Manganiello’s character Alcide getting a brief shot, so perhaps their involvement will be played down this season to make way for new characters. Also, hopefully much, much more of Alexander Skarsgard’s Eric Northman, who we saw escaping with Sookie in the season finale.
‘I wanna do bad things with you…’
We’ll also be introduced to some new characters this series, including a new possible love interest for Sookie in the form of faerie Ben, played by British actor Robert Kazinsky, former Eastenders star. Seriously, that girl gets all of the supernaturals wanting to get into her pants.
We’ll meet Governer Truman Burrell (Arliss Howard), a man with a strong grudge against the vampires after his wife left him for one. That brings us to his vampire sympathiser daughter, Willa (90210′s Amelia Rose Blaire) and a mysterious and sinister new character, Macklyn Warlow (Rutger Hauer) who will surely be a big character this Summer.
Whatever’s in store for Eric, Bill, Sookie and co. in series six, it looks set to be a great season, action-packed and full of gore. Personally, I can’t wait for another taste of True Blood.
Just after the intro, when that nigh-on iconic Theme music came, my girlfriend tried to ruin the tune for me by doing lots of different ‘versions’ of it; “Chitty bang-bang, chitty bang-bang, CHITTY BANG-BANG, CHITTY BANG-BANG!”, for example.
From ihogeek.com
Sadly, this was one of the most exciting parts of this opening episode.
Series 2 ended on a massive high and it did so by leaving very little unresolved. As a result, when we pick up with the various groups they are mostly coping with the fallout from Series 2’s events. Sam returns from failing to send the ravens and the Night’s Watch must continue their journey back to the wall; Cersei and Tyrion discuss an upcoming meeting between Tyrion and Tywin; Lord Baelish catches up with Sansa and discusses pretty much the same potential exit for her as has previously been mentioned; The Khaleesi crosses the poison water to buy an army with her stolen booty and Davos is found on an island, dehydrated and unhappy, having narrowly survived the Battle of Blackwater
The only scene of much interest from the opening half hour, is Jon Snow meeting Mance Rayder, a somewhat close and tense scene with Tormund Giantsbane introduced to boot. It’s well done and also bleeding awesome to hear again a big budget drama show, let alone an American one, with a bunch of Yorkshiremen able to talk without being comic relief.
The episode begins to pick up with Margaery Tyrell putting Joffrey to shame and visiting an orphanage. She shows some of that fascinating potentially-two faced behavior which makes you question whether she is conniving or completely genuine in the books. As an amusing aside, Joffrey sits outside the Orphanarium until she’s done, which seems to be a good twenty minutes or so. He really is an odious tool.
Still, he does take part in one of the better scenes later in which he, Margaery and Cersei verbally spar over dinner; It’s a very good, well-acted and funny.
Though it doesn’t hold a candle to when Daenerys is buying the Unsullied. As in the book, the interplay between Daenerys, the translator and the Good Master Karznys is genuinely hilarious. It almost rescues the episode on its own.
One of the other scenes that helps is the confrontation between Tywin and Tyrion. These are both strong, powerful characters who will not be swayed in their views and they just so happen to disagree about Tyrion’s legitimacy to take control of Casterly Rock with Tywin now the Hand of the King. It’s almost spot-on to the book, as many of the Tyrion / Tywin scenes are.
Meanwhile, Robb Stark finds Harrenhal in disarray after Gregor Clegane has put it to the sword. Caetlyn is as disturbed as the King in the North and she surveys the corpses piled up around the castle but is then confined to a cell once more by Robb for the crime of releasing Jaime Lannister. Once gone, one of the corpses moves; it is Qyburn, who fans of the books will be interested to see flourish over the series.
The episode closes with an assassination attempt against Daenerys as she discusses her discomfort with the prospect of purchasing and using slaves in her army. Mormont is not able to intervene but someone else does, someone that you’d have to have been paying a lot of attention to notice previously in the series but who fans of the books like myself will have been squeeing to see.
In summary, this episode takes a while to get going and covers a lot of ground which probably could have been done through montage or backstory. After about twenty to thirty minutes, it begins to approach the usual quality of the series. My girlfriend pointed out quite correctly that it didn’t feel like the first episode of a series but more the end / beginning of a book. Whilst this makes sense, the producers and writers should have appreciated that this is a TV series and needs to start building the hooks and plot threads that keep it motoring along. Hopefully this is just a blip and the series will pick up from here.
Episode 134 of the GameOverCast is up and at them!
The show opens with Danny visiting gaming bars, Radar podcasting in the dark and watching gaming related anime, and then it all goes down hill from there!
In games they’ve have been playing they talk mucho mucho Sim City, Naruto Ultimate ninja storm 3, Star control, Tomb Raider and The last Mass effect DLC, Citadel.
Theres new, imminent releases and more besides, listen and enjoy!
Well. Comics, eh? What are they all about? If you’re one of the millions of geeks out there whose only encounters with comic books have involved Hugh Jackman or HBO, then you may have considered dabbling with a trade paperback or graphic novel only to be put off by decades of meandering plotline, deaths, resurrections, reboots and retcons. Picking up a random issue from your local friendly comic merchant will often give you no idea what’s going on. References to stories from twenty, thirty years ago fly like a bird or a plane over your clueless noggin and asking someone to explain it to you can often result in an impromptu six-month course on symbiotes/Kryptonian regeneration matrices/the Shi’ar Empire.
DC and Marvel are the main offenders here, having been around for so long that most of their heroes have more loose plot ends than Twin Peaks, Lost and The Killing rolled into one (and then unravelled a bit). So, if you are looking to bolster your geek credentials with a bit of four-colour goodness, read on and I’ll give you my recommendations on where to start with the Big Two’s major franchises.
The X-Men
Prior Knowledge Required: The 1990’s X-Men cartoon or even the movie trilogy should be fine.
Starting Point: New X-Men Volume 1: E is for Extinction.
By the end of the 90s Marvel’s X-Men comics were in a sorry state. A decade of new characters, new timelines and new dimensions had spun the head of even the most faithful X-Fans and anyone trying to jump onboard had to first decide which of the many teams/ solo series they wanted to follow in an effort to try and grasp the scattered plotlines.
Then, in 2001, Grant Morrison grabbed the flagship title by the throat, changed the name to New X-Men and killed off sixteen million mutants. So yeah, you know all those crazy X-characters you were having trouble remembering? It’s OK now because most of them are dead now. Morrison pared the team down to six characters and brought them back to doing what they do best- teaching mutants by day at the Charles Xavier School for the Gifted and by night protecting them from a world that feared and hated them.
This was the birthplace of the X-Men as they are now; the best modern issues are those that directly reference Morrison’s time on the comic (Fantomex, The World, Sublime) and his game changer in killing off Jean Grey (I would put a spoiler alert in here but, come on, it’s Jean Grey, when is she not dead?) is one of the few character deaths which has not been overturned to this day (strictly speaking). Morrison brought reality into the lives of Xavier’s students and in doing so only made their tales more fantastic.
Batman
Prior Knowledge Required: Who doesn’t know Batman? Come on, that’s like not knowing any Beatles songs…
Starting Point: Batman: Bruce Wayne, Murderer
This was a difficult call. Batman must be one of the heroes with the most difficult ongoing stories to break into. This is mostly down to the fact that the greatest Batman stories are those that have been told outside of regular continuity. See Batman: Year One for the only bat-comic you’ll ever need. See The Dark Knight Returns for another one.
Up until B:BW, M, Batman had been having a tough job of it. The Joker had beat the living shit out of then-Robin, Jason Todd, the criminal Bane had cracked Batman’s spine like a glo-stick in a way which will be familiar to anyone who sat through The Dark Knight Rises, and Gotham City got royally reamed by the double-whammy of plague followed by massive earthquake (I guess there was no bat-seismograph in that tight little belt of his). The point is that, by the beginning of my recommended starting point, everything has chilled the fuck out and we’re starting a new era. Gone are the high drama tensions of a city on the edge of disaster, gone are the legions of sidekicks, allies and complex web of villains. Batman is returned to what he does best; solving crimes and protecting his city.
Spider-Man
Prior Knowledge Required: None.
Starting Point: Amazing Fantasy #15 (or, more likely, Marvel Masterworks: Amazing Spider-Man 1962-63).
Wait, what? Isn’t that the very first Spider-Man story by Stan Lee and Steve Ditko? Yes it is, shut up, I’m talking. This is the only place to start reading Spider-Man comics from (not including Brian Michael Bendis’ Ultimate Spider-Man which pretty much just re-told the story for a modern audience. Fine, go and check it out, what are you, like twelve?) and contains the best versions of Peter Parker, Mary-Jane, Aunt May, etc. that you’re going to find. Cards on the table, in my opinion they totally dropped the ball with this character in recent years. I mean, here you have a teen who swings on webs while cracking wise. He pretty much writes himself. But try picking up a Spider-Man comic now from anywhere outside Lee & Ditko’s original run. What’s that? Spider-Man had his memory erased and cannot remember any of his previous life? Spider-Man isn’t Spider-Man at all but a clone created for a Reason just to mess with the readers? Spider-Man’s enemy Doctor Octopus has taken over his body with Science and this is a thing which is still ongoing and happening and why isn’t anybody stopping this?
Don’t get me wrong, Spider-Man is still a brilliant character. Just not so much in his own books. Go back to the start, to the real Spider-Man stories, the works of art that made him every lonely young man and woman’s role model.
The Avengers
Prior Knowledge Required: The movie, plus whatever I’ve slapped out below.
Starting Point: Avengers: Disassembled
Like the X-Men in the 90s, the Avengers were having a pretty tough time of it up until my recommended starting point. Again the characters were scattered across the place with West Coast, East Coast and even a Great Lakes versions of the team and a roster that boasted almost sixty members, including such memorable stars as the playing-card themed Jack of Hearts and Triathlon aka 3-D Man. There needed to be some changes in this here town so Marvel offered superstar writer Brian Michael Bendis the chance to slip on a sheriff’s badge and have a crack at cleaning house. And clean it he did. Step One: Kill off a bunch of Avengers. Not the crappy “hero-of-the-week” ones either, I’m talking proper well-loved, featured-in-the-movie Avengers. And he didn’t stop there. Step Two: Destroy their home, their lives and their reputations. Before this issue the Avengers lived in a mansion. Together. With, like a butler and shit. Who wants to read a comic about a bunch of rich white people living in a fucking palace? Boom! No longer a problem. Before this issue Tony Stark was the teetotal United States Secretary of Defence. Like a bit of dry politics with your action-adventure? The fans sure didn’t! Boom! Gone! Step Three: Disband the goddamn team. This comic is the equivalent of scrunching up that novel you’ve been writing and starting again but doing it fucking right this time. If you start reading at this point you are laying the groundwork for all the amazing that comes next. It all starts here.
Superman
Prior Knowledge Required: Lex Luthor hates Superman for Reasons.
Starting Point: All Star Superman, Vol. 1
This one is a bit of a cheat. All Star Superman is not part of an ongoing series and neither is it technically canon. You will not have a clue what’s currently occurring in Superman’s life if you read this and it will not help you understand what has come before. So why, you might ask, do I recommend you read this book to get into Superman? Well let me tell you, you cheeky shit. My honest recommendation is that you DON’T READ THE ONGOING SUPERMAN SERIES. There’s really no point. Superman is Superman and will always be Superman. There will never be any character development there, never any real life-threatening danger. In the hands of most writers he is at best boring, at worst an irrelevance. Which is why I cannot recommend to you strongly enough that you go out and buy All Star Superman right now. Even if you ignore all the other recommendations I have made here, do this for me.
Or for this lovely kitten…
All Star Superman gets Superman right. A lot of people don’t understand the Man of Steel’s popularity for many of the reasons I mentioned above about the ongoing series. He doesn’t have the vulnerability of Spider-Man, the conflict of the X-Men, or even the inherent coolness of Batman – he’s just a big invincible boy-scout. Which is exactly what we need. Superman is not there to tell us stories about human frailty and the struggle against overwhelming darkness. He’s here to show us that he is in all of us, to show us that, if only we tried a bit harder, if only we pooled our efforts and worked together more than we fought against one another, the world, nay the universe, could be a place of infinite wonder. He is the Man of Tomorrow and brings us hope that it will be brighter than our today. And if that’s not a reason to buy a comic, then I sure as heck don’t know what is.
