Home Geekin', hosted by Retinax-5 and Lyesmith, geeks, bestfriends, and partners-in-awesome, geekin' out about comic books, movies, and anything else that tickles their fancy!
What. What. WHAT. That's right. The boys of Geekin' grabbed the ear of none-other than Francis Hamada, creator of the fan-freaking-tastic Firefly fan-film, Browncoats: Independence War. Mr. Hamada was amazing enough to take the time to answer a few of our (and your!) questions about his film. For the first time anywhere, right here on Geekin', you'll read about Browncoats: Independence War and what went into making this movie. Retinax-5 and I are self-proclaimed "process junkies" for comic books, but that extends to other mediums as well. Getting to pick Mr. Hamada's brain about the whys and hows of making this fan film were a real treat and very cool to get to read back.

Aphrodite IX # 5 from Top Cow Writer: Matt Hawkins (@TopCowMatt) Cover & Art: Stjepan Sejic (@stjepansejic) I want to start off by saying this is another one of my gushing reviews for Top Cow. I love this character, I love this series, and I know you guys have to get tired of hearing me say it, but I love Top Cow comics. I'd like to take a second and say that you can read the first issue of Aphrodite IX for FREE. You can get it from the Top Cow website right here. (http://topcow.com/moos/43-latest-moos/751-aphrodite-ix-1-read-now) One more thing before we get to the review. Aphrodite IX writer and creator Matt Hawkins (@TopCowMatt) is going to be coming to a local comic book and gaming convention in Tulsa, Ok, which I intend to be at. I /hope/ to be able to grab Matt's hear for a moment to ask him three or four questions for the blog.
