An Inauspicious Introduction

By -
Hello world,

My name is retinax5 and I am Lyesmith's all too often silent partner on Geekin. Luckily for a slacker like myself, Lyesmith is an awesome partner and has done a great job with the site. In the future, you can look forward to Lyesmith and myself posting podcasts of us debating the state of geekdom.

In the meantime, please enjoy this first post. I wanted something special for my first post. I believe I have succeeded. Ladies and Gents, here is a brand new Avengers trailer!







And, yes, this is a SAFE FOR WORK video. No naughty bits.

Spider-Man vs Batman

By -
So we've got two more big Superhero movies coming out. The Spider-Man reboot. And! The Dark Knight Rises. I'm not anywhere near as excited about these two as I have been The Avengers. But I've been hearing all kinda of "Batman's gonna kick Spider-Man's ass!" and "Batman's gonna blow The Avengers out of the water!" And I'm here to throw in my 2cents. No way in hell is Batman gonna reach the Avengers. But I will argue over Spider-Man. Spider-Man is a far more kid-friendly franchise than this Batman trilogy has been. Spider-Man has seen a lot more advertising than DKR has. DKR will forever be the sequel to Heath Ledger's last movie. It might do better than the Crow sequels, but will suffer from the same stigmas. It will forever be compared to the one before it, Bane will forever be measured up against Joker, and it will always been seen lacking. Unless the guy playing Bane bites it before the movie releases. DKR looks very serious, brood...

Superman/Wonder Woman #1 Writer: Charles Soule Artist: Tony S. Daniel I haven't ever been a big supporter of these two as a couple. I just didn't think they meshed well together; and I grew up with Lois Lane being the love of Clark Kent's life. It's like watching your Dad go on a date with a woman who's not your Mother, but is instead your favorite teacher or something. You love everyone involved, you're just not sure you love what the way they're doing things. As far as Diana goes, I actually loved her with Bruce in the Justice League cartoons. I thought it was a fun a dynamic, they were similar in their ways of thinking enough that I could see the draw, the attraction. Diana and Clark are too different. Diana is a warrior. Clark isn't. But that's just my opinion and has nothing to do with this comic! Which, by the way, is actually amazing! And it makes me think that maybe, just maybe, this relationship might not be as bad as I think it is. Clark is...

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

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...
