Admittedly, I am somewhat immersed in my fandoms (ok, more than somewhat at times). But it still surprises me when there’s something being released mainstream that I feel is getting a lot of “press” (in whatever form that may be), yet norms that I mention it to are all “what’s that?”.

Best Geeky Finds – Let’s Get Dangerous!
I’ve mentioned before that I am a Disneyphile. My sister and I grew up with the Disney channel and constant rerecordings of the animated classics in our home, usually with The Lion King or The Little Mermaid on repeat.

Irregular’s Intel – Marvel’s Luke Cage… Sweet Christmas!
It’s no secret that I have been waiting, with baited breath, for the Luke Cage series to happen. I have been over the moon satisfied with every one of the Marvel series that Netflix has produced.

Half of its soundtrack is orchestrated and the other half has a more robotic feel to represent the organic and robotic half of the game, which is an amazing concept for a Wii game.
Comics Cosmos – The Vision
Whether you’re a Marvel movie fan or you read the comics (or both!), you’ve heard of Vision. He’s actually had a few iterations over the years, beginning as an alien in 1940 through the android/synthoid most are familiar with from the MCU. He has a long history in comics and has primarily appeared with the Avengers or various members thereof, though he did have a couple four-issue series runs of his own (1994 and 2003).
