On today's podcast, we reviewed several excellent comics by Wayward Raven. The guys over there are incredibly talented and you should definitely check them out at waywardraven.com.
Anyway, during the show we talked about their web comic Damn Heroes. Judging the comic solely by its name, I imagined some kind of space western. I was wrong...it's so much better than that!
Damn Heroes is the hilariously entertaining tale of an ordinary man who is en route to becoming a super villain. The comic satirizes everything we love about superhero comics: the fact that the hero never dies (especially if he's basically superman), the super villains are inept, and superheroes in general are complete and utter dillholes. I loved it. I binge read the entire thing in about half an hour, and I cannot wait for more. You can check them out at damnheroes.com. They update every Wednesday.
I could say that I've been very busy, working overtime, slaving away for my spring break beach body, oil painting, learning the arabic alphabet, whatever. I'm not going to even pretend like I have an excuse for my lack of attention to the geekcast world. In reality, I've been too busy geeking out and not realizing it to blog.
So, I'm going to promise you all that I will try to be a little more self aware and blog more. However, I can't promise that I won't take another hiatus because, as most geeks know, once an obsession takes hold, you must hit geek rock bottom in order to realize how consumed you have been. I am now on my 3rd consecutive hour of New Girl, in my footie pajamas, drinking a 5 dollar bottle of wine. I'm not even sure this is the worst of it. Until season 2 is finished, anything goes. Any pair of pajamas is game, any chocolate product=a well rounded dinner.
So, I'll see you all once Nick and Jess finally hook up. Because goddammit, those two are meant for each other.
Oh, what day is it again? How long was I gone? Oh. Sorry. All the excitement with Doctor Who's 50th anniversary got me excited for a trip to the future. You're going to love the Christmas Episode, Capaldi is a stud....Anyway, I hope you're all enjoying the new....oh. We haven't done that yet? Oh, well I guess you'll just have to wait a little bit longer for the goodness coming up!
Hey guys, Rob Bass here! I just wanted to take a minute to say sorry for slacking on the blogs and tweets recently. We've been talking here at Geek Cast Live and we've got some great ideas that we want to start implementing! Hope you'll be a jazzed about it as we are! Blog about The Desolation of Smaug coming soon! Until next time, Bass out.
Well it's been a bit since I've blogged. Hell since anyone from Geek Cast Live has actually. We've been off the grid as they say, but not unproductive. We have geared it down in an effort to concentrate on the brand and on the product. We have a bevy of geektastic goings on about to be released to the public that I think will have made the wait worth it. Overselling? Maybe. Got your Geek Ticker Tickin? Absolutely! I'd like to leave you with a thanks for tuning in, and a thanks for letting your Geek Flag Fly!
Hey guys, Bass again, and I've got some updates for you! Now for those of you who have lived under a rock for the last week you've missed some big news. Obviously I'm going to be talking about Marvel, because I love Marvel and it's in the fucking title of this post. So, let's start off with one of the "smaller" gigs: Sony and The Amazing Spider-Man 2. Big news? We've got video of Electro, played by Jamie Foxx, and that's chilling as fuck. If you haven't seen it yet...
VID:
So that's cool. Next we have leaked pictured of who we presume to be The Vulture. Some bald(ish) guy prancing around in Ravencroft Industries shit... Yeah, it's gonna be Adrain Toomes. Then we have Paul Giamatti as the Rhino. Of course this has been known for some time, but I'm just super pumped to see the Rhino go ham on Spidey.
PICS:
Next, we've got Fox with both The Wolverine and X-Men: Days of Future Past. I'd like to start by saying... OH FUCKING SHITBALLS SENTINELS!!! Now that that's out of the way, more footage and pictures are leaking for The Wolverine, which is fantastic. Chances are, they can't possibly fuck this one up because I'd like to think they learned something after X-Men Origins: Wolverine. Only time will tell if I still hate Fox. Nextly (cause that's a word now), X-Men: DoFP has had leaks too. Specifically; Wolverine and Old Wolverine, Iceman, Jean Luc Picard, Gandalf, and most importantly a badass Bishop. So that's cool. Can't wait for it, and I'm really looking forward to Tyrion mass producing weapons of genocide. One more time... Sentinels.
Lastly, the Avengers movie universe. So, things to come, Captain America: The Winter Soldier. Cap gets a make over and Bucky is a bad guy. Word is they are using the good ole Captain as a springboard for Avengers 2, which isn't a terribly big surprise. Thor: The Dark World, we're so close it hurts. Loki stole the show in Hall-H and we got a new trailer that *spoilers*shows Asgard getting fucked up*end spoilers*. So that's neat. Guardians of the Galaxy brought the whole crew out and let's be honest, it's gonna be fantastic. If you still aren't familiar with GotG, go to the Google and learn yourself asap, because this is gonna be massive. GotG could very easily shake up the entire Marvel movie universe because we're moving to things on a more galactic scale. Duh. Which means villains are gonna start being bigger and badder, the threats more threatening, and the amount of badassery is now unlimited. Finally, we're gonna end this long ass post with this... Avengers: Age of Ultron. Firstly, kudos Joss Whedon, for throwing a massive curveball with Thanos in the last Avengers and leading us on to believe he was gonna be the baddie. Ultron means several things, firstly we may yet see Ant-Man, however rumors are *spoilers*Ultron may be a corrupted JARVIS*end spoilers* which would be a fucking huge throw. More heroes, a super badass villain, being Ultron, and the return of Ironman means that Avengers: Age of Ultron will blow Avengers out of the water. Coming from me, that's saying something. So long, folks, here is a sentinel head, you're welcome.
