Happy Mid-Week-Mini-Christmas, Geeks and Geekettes! It's another Comic Book Wednesday and today we're going to look at Joker's Daughter in Batman #23.4, another installment of Villains Month. As always, check out our Facebook Fanpage at www.facebook.com/GeekinPodcast and follow us on Twitter @Geekin_Podcast for all kinds of news, pictures, freebies and assorted geekery! Now on to the review! Batman 23.4 Villains Month - Joker's Daughter Writer: Ann Nocenti Artist: Georges Jeanty So, I was kind of excited for this, because I really wanted to see where they were going with it. We've seen the sketches for months now. I expected it to be weird, but not this weird. First of all, this isn't actually Joker's daughter, which wildly disappointed me. I mean, we find that out pretty damn quick. I was hoping they'd drag it out, really let us think this might be his kid, let the nerd rage boil a bit; but no such luck. The girl, who much later in the book you find out...

Happy Mid-Week-Mini-Christmas Geeks! It's that time again! Comic Book Wednesday! Today I'll do a couple of each DC and Marvel. This is pretty exciting for me, as it's VILLAINS MONTH!

He's a great character that I think deserves more love and attention. The origins of the Pre-52 Creeper were originally linked to the Joker and his serum; though that was later retconned.

[youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YKxHpLZHQOs] I thought I'd take a break from comic reviews and do something just for fun. And we all know how much I love to give my opinion, so I decided to give my Top Ten Villains! It was hard to choose just ten, but I feel good about this line-up and I think you all will enjoy it. Feel free to post with additions, comments, or even your own Top Ten! And if I've got someone up here you can't stand or think is lame, SAY SO! Let's hear it.   Now, without further ado....   Villain Number 10 Azazel from Supernatural. Many actors portrayed this character, but none like Fredric Lehne. I've seen him in other stuff and have always been a fan, and this guy really brought this character to the forefront and made him a force to be reckoned with. His timing and attitude made it impossible to hate Azazel despite him being so nefarious. If you haven't watched this show, you've got to pick it up just to watch Fredric Lehne as Azaz...
