Hey, Geeks and Geekettes! It's Mid-Week-Mini-Christmas, also known as Comic Book Wednesday, and that means COMIC REVIEWS!!! This week we'll be focusing on my two favorites, Guardians of the Galaxy and Red Hood and The Outlaws, the latter of which comes back after a month away while DC did their Villains Month; we'll talk about that some.

Needless to stay, there was swooning and fainting and maybe more than a little bragging in the Geekin' camp this past week. If you're not following us on Twitter, you should be!

SPOILERS. IF YOU HAVEN'T READ THE BOOK, I'M ABOUT TO RUIN IT FOR YOU. Here we are. Issue #5 of Guardians of the Galaxy. I LOVE THIS FREAKING COMIC! That being said, I'm reading so much hate on this book lately, it's unreal. So let's clear some things up. GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY: With Bendis books, Marvel readies the ramp-up to next year’s film http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/comic-riffs/post/guardians-of-the-galaxy-with-bendis-books-marvel-readies-the-ramp-up-to-next-years-film/2013/06/21/796c4f7e-d894-11e2-9df4-895344c13c30_blog.html An interview with Bendis, talking about being on the committee for the movie, and bringing the comic back BECAUSE of the movie... http://marvel.com/news/story/19545/marvel_now_qa_guardians_of_the_galaxy Bendis and Marvel are using this title to tie the core story into the movie.
