WORLD EXCLUSIVE Q&A w/ Creator of Browncoats: Independence War

Image
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. On top of answering our (and your!) questions, Mr. Hamada gave us the rare privilege of getting to watch a pre-post version of the film. I'm not telling you this just to brag, though that's there too, but to bring you first hand knowled

Jack 1979 (Issue 1) Review - Lyesmith

Image
  @tehcrashedmedia "A brand-new comic about a bad ass, monster hunting, time traveling, mustache wearing son of a bitch named Jack the Ripper." That sentence ALONE should have you scrambling to support this comic, but in case it doesn't, have a review! Jack1979 is brought to you by Writer Jon Paul Anthony Hart, Artist Davey Siddall and Colorist Joshua Jensen. The idea is that Jack the Ripper was framed. See, Jack is a monster hunter. Not the monster. He's protecting the world and the people he loves from the real monsters who are possessing prostitutes in 1888 London. What's the significance of '1979'? Well, you'll have to read and support the book to find out... Without giving too much away, I'm going to do my best to convince you why you need to support this comic. Hart's writing and Siddall's art work in perfect symmetry to bring to life a vibrant and engaging world that's not just exciting, but fun even when

Review: @NewWorldsComics 'Wynter'

Image
  New Worlds Comics is a new independent digital comic book publisher. Their two titles are Wynter and Goof . Lyesmith had the pleasure of reviewing the first two issues of Wynter , both available on the app for your iPad. Lyesmith: I'm going to give the warning that this is for mature readers, but I will say, it's nothing explicit or for the sake of being explicit. It's all tastefully done and if it were a movie would probably teeter between a PG-13 and an R depending on how some of the scenes were handled. Basically, when it comes to kids (read: teenagers) you're getting the warning I give whenever I suggest any comic book - be a parent. Read it. Judge it based on your kids maturity. Moving on. Set in a futuristic universe filled with populated planets and trillions of human lives, Liz Wynter struggles with the fact that she's not special. Human life has gone on for so long that it's reached ever version of every person it could ever poss

Kickstarter Spotlight: Creepy Scarlett

Image
 Hey, Geeks and Geekettes, welcome to the Geekin' review of Creepy Scarlett by Graeme Buchan.   @ScarlettComic     Buy Creepy Scarlett Book One I knew little-to-nothing about Creepy Scarlett, other than what I read from the Kickstarter page, when I started reading this comic. Trying to keep an open mind, I tried very hard not to make comparisons until I was completely caught up with the book. Funny enough, some of the things that came to mind at first glance stayed with me throughout the book, but became more superficial. The cover art and general theme reminded me of the KISS: Psycho Circus run back in the late 90s. I was in the height of my KISS fandom and ate every issue of that series up like it was going out of style. (Heh.) The feel of creepy (oh, I'm a roll today, folks) themes mixed well with 'Creepy Scarlett"'s mythology and reminded me of 'Psycho Circus' in a very good way. Samurai armor featuring imagery of Scarlett
