Spoilers: Review: Longshot Saves The Marvel U

By -


Happy Mid-Week Mini Christmas, Geeks and Geekettes! We're back with Longshot Saves The Marvel Universe #4! 

Wait, a minute. Didn't I, like, JUST review this comic?
Why, yessiree, I did!
Longshot Saves The Marvel Universe #1
However, this being issue #4, is the end of the mini-series.
And what a series it was!
Magic! Chaos! Alternate realities! Mind-controlled heroes! Cameos galore!
Longshot's abilities go haywire when he runs into cosmic entity, The In-Betweener, and a corrupt cosmic cube. He gets thrown into another reality where the Chaos and Order sides of  The In-Betweener are split and everything is wonky. Order is running SHIELD's magic-policing division and Chaos is trapped by his twin. Brother. Otherself. Guy.
In order to restore reality, bring the two halves of the In-Between together, Longshot has to save the cosmic cube (in the form of a demon trapped in a teddy bear named Mr. Dapples) from the Order half while dodging the rampant destruction that the Chaos half is causing.
And everything comes crashing together into this last issue that has action, humor, and leaves out dashing hero on an up-note. If you're a Longshot fan, or even if you're just curious about the character, pick this up. It's loads of fun and throws our hero into the world with lots of new possibilities ahead of him. I'd love to see more things like this from Marvel's extended universe and crazy characters like Longshot. And I definitely want to see more Longshot! 


I give the entire series a 4.5 out of 5 hokey-named cosmic bad asses.


Check back for the review and rating for the entire Buzzkill series from Darkhorse comics!

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...

SPOILERS: Review: Superman/WonderWoman #1 - Dexter #4 - Lyesmith

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...
