The volume Marvel Knights: The Inhumans covers a 12-issue miniseries from an updated version of the Inhumans of the late 90s (of course, there have been a couple more versions since then). As such, it gives a good introduction to the main characters of the series without being an origin story. Continue reading Comics Cosmos – Inhuman Nature

She Geek Critique – A Shell of a Film
I think the first thing I should mention, as this is a review of a live-action version of an anime, is that I hate anime. The Japanese animation style does nothing for me and I’m not a fan of their style of storytelling. So, obviously, I have not seen the original Ghost in the Shell anime movie or series. But for the sake of geekdom (and the fact we were going to talk about it on GW1 anyway), I saw the movie. Continue reading She Geek Critique – A Shell of a Film
Best Geeky Finds – Stop the Loop!
Who is in charge of cleaning up all the time issues created as a result of Doc Brown and Marty’s shenanigans?

I decided that I’d save it, but then it happened again and gave me even more reason to write this. Continue reading Irregular’s Intel – What is Strength?
Playing Around – All in the Reflexes
Last summer, in our GenCon coverage (way back in Issue 67), we shared news of the co-op deck-building game Legendary: Big Trouble in Little China. It was big news at the time because there wasn’t any other game set in that universe – until now. For those who lean more towards playing board games (or if you just can’t get enough of ol’ Jack Burton), Big Trouble in Little China: The Game is currently in development.
