Writer: Brian Michael Bendis Artist: Francesco Francavilla I say this a lot. And I don't care. I love this book. Are there differences to the characters since Annihilation? Yes. And there should be. These characters should be growing and changing and evolving. If you don't like how they're changing, that's fine. But don't whine that they're not acting like the same people they were 5 years and 3 wars ago. Come on. This book seems to be constantly on the edge of exploding into something big. Lots of secrets, lots of something big just lurking over the horizon, and we as fans have seen this months ago, but it's finally starting to occur to Gamora that she needs to be asking some hard questions. Peter wants to make a plan. But really, it seems more like stalling to me. And I think Gamora gets that too. She flat out asks Peter and Drax how they came back. She flat out asks Peter why he didn't kill Thanos. He asks her the same - she lived with him for years. ...

Alright, Geeks and Geekettes, it's Comic Book Wednesday and that means comic reviews! Today we've got two reviews, the new Infinity - Heist tie-in and the long-awaited Guardians of the Galaxy #6! As always, be sure to check out our Facebook Fanpage at www.facebook.com/GeekinPodcast and follow us on Twitter @Geekin_Podcast for all the coolest news, pictures, freebies and assorted geekery! Now on to the reviews! Writer: Frank Tieri Artist: Barrionuevo Infinity Heist was an interesting story. It follows Blizzard and Whirlwind, two c-list villains, on their adventure trying to take advantage of the Avengers being in space. It's a fun story! They're bumbling idiots who just can't catch a break. They break into the Wakanda Bank to steal supposed diamonds and gold, but Spymaster has beat them to it. He waits in an empty vault, offering to let them in on an even bigger score... What this comic does to irritate the crap out of me, is changes artist style in the middle of the...

Happy Mid-Week-Mini-Christmas, Geeks and Geekettes! Today we'll be touching on the two big events in the Marvel camp. Of all the Infinity Tie Ins, I felt Avengers #19 seemed the most important, the one that moved the story forward the most, so that's what we'll be focusing on.

Some of those scenes seemed to have a mite-bit of inappropriate touching going on on Ex Nihila's part. But Carol seems to ignore it.) Captain America and Thor approaches the Galactic War Council (which includes The Skrull, The Shi'ar, The Kree, The Negative Zone, The Brood, and the Spartoi) in an effort to pool resources and find a way to stop the Buil...

Just like with the DC reviews earlier, this week I'll be reviewing two Marvel comics. These focus one the two big events going on in Marvel right now; X-Men: Battle of the Atom #1 and Infinity #2. I love nothing but good things to say about Battle of the Atom. It had some moments that made me grin and made me realize how much I'm ready for all this crap to be over with and for the family to patch things up again. Kitty takes the original X-Kiddos out on a routine new-mutant sighting. Things don't go exactly as planned and Scott and his X-Men show up just in time to back up Kitty's group. I loved it. Kitty and Scott don't picker. They don't make snotty comments. They just get shit under control. It was actually pretty heart warming. As a converted Cyclops fan, this issue made my heart stop for a moment. But over all sets us up for a pretty cool little event. Though it does leave me wondering how the hell they're going to explain it. Seems ALL the X-Men are do...

It's Wednesday and time for your weekly reviews again! Boy, it's been a busy week, so before we get into our first review, let's recap the week. My review for Cyberforce #5 was noticed and retweeted by the lovely Bridget Silvestri @B_Silvestri), wife of none other than Marc Silvestri (@Marc_Silvestri), comic book creator, writer, artist, and top-cow over at Top Cow comics (@TopCow), whom also retweeted our review of his comic. 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!
