Geekin' Podcast and Blog

[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...

Welcome to the third comic review! Today I'm going to try to focus a little more on Marvel, but then it's right back into DC! They've really had my attention lately with the New 52.   First of all, I've always been a Marvel guy. I grew up on X-Men and the various X-Titles and understood the Summers Family Tree before I could do multiplication. But this past few months, I've seen barely anything come out of Marvel that I've enjoyed, and that saddens me a great deal. That being said, I'm going to do a review of two series, both of which I love, but one of which I'm not currently liking. Ready? Too bad.           Journey Into Mystery Kieron Gillen is a literary god. Everything he's done with this series has had me giddy to read the next issue. I love his writing style, how he's made these characters REAL, and he's taking Loki in a direction no ever has before. He's ranking up there with Neil Giaman, Geoff Johns, R.A. Jones, Christopher Yost ...

As promised, I, Lyesmith, am back to deliver more reviews of DC's New 52. I just KNOW everyone is waiting to buy comics until they've heard my opinion on them, so here it is! Today we'll be focusing on Green Lantern, Red Hood and the Outlaws, Green Lantern: New Guardians, and Suicide Squad. Green lantern - I want to start by saying I love Hal Jordan. Nathan Fillion's Hal Jordan, not Ryan Reynolds' Hal Jordan. He's my favorite GL, and as far as I'm concern, THE GL. But I do love me some Guy. Anyway, this new Green Lantern series is keeping Hal Jordan front and center. And that makes me a happy little geek. It helps that I love Sinestro. I haven't always, but I love what Geoff Johns did with him during The Sinestro Wars and the person he made Sinestro into. I get a big 'Magneto' vibe from Sinestro and that appeals to me. At the end of my last set of reviews I called this Green Lantern (sort of), because so far the premise of the story (no major spo...

Captain's Log, Stardate 3142012.1... Sorry, I've always wanted to say that. My first blog post seemed an appropriate place to live out that fantasy. Welcome to the first Geekin! Comic review. I'm Lyesmith, half of the dynamic duo (that's not copy written, is it?) that makes up Geekin! A blog/podcast/whatever else we decide to turn this monstrosity into, that covers everything that we're currently "geeking" over. Comics, movies, tv, and anything else that catches our fancy - you'll find our opinions and fan-boy squeals right here. Let's get this shindig goin', shall we? For the first one, I'm going to keep it light and easy. I'll be jazzin' it up a bit as we go along. I've spent today catching up on three of the New 52 titles from DC.   I, Vampire - This is an amazing comic. The art, the plot, the dialogue... I'm loving this book. It's a lot of fun, and again, feels a little disconnected from the rest of the DCU. It's...
