One of my favorite phrases is “Live your (or My) Geek”. I feel like it perfectly states my philosophy of what being a geek means. The short definition of being a geek is that you’re an extreme fan of something, but there is so much more to it. Let’s face it, the people who are car nuts, music fans, or sports enthusiasts do not apologize for their love of their respective obsessions. Society says that it is completely acceptable to go to car shows and look at each others vehicles that we may or may not drive, follow a local band to every gig in the tri-state area to show your support, or join a group to play the sports version of an RPG, fantasy football. But yet, how many of us downplay our love for comics, books, action figures, or whatever you’re into because either we don’t want to be ridiculed of we’ve been told that what we like is odd or weird? I’m here to tell you that it is not. It is what you’re into, it is what brings you enjoyment in your life, so don’t hide it. Continue reading Irregular’s Intel – Embracing Your Geek

V-Yellow’s Comic Box – Introductions
Hello my name is Vernon but most people know me as V-Yellow. I have a deep interest in comic books, many would call me a comic book nerd and I take pride in that. I am a collector of comic books and toys. I try to get my hand on anything comic book related, from toys, posters, hats and shoes. I’ve had a passion for this stuff since I was a kid. Even though I’m a 90’s baby I was raised on the Super Friends, the Tim Burton Batman, Scooby-Doo, Spider-man and his Amazing Friends, Swamp Thing, the Christopher Reeves Superman films and The Addams Family. My mother liked to watch cartoons and especially if they were superheroes, so she would record them on VHS and re-watch them. Once I was born she would allow me to watch them with her. So I always loved the old school style of cartoons and movies that a lot of my friends to this day may think are too old or corny but it’s something about them I can’t get enough of. But since I am a 90’s kid my favorite shows to watch were Batman the Animated series and Spider-Man the Animated series. Once I reached the 6th grade I stated looking up the heroes and finding out where they came from. That’s when I started collecting comics, and I’ve been doing it ever since.
Miss Dawn’s Musings – Too Many Comic Book Movies?!
“Why are there so many superhero movies?”
“What’s with all the comic book stuff?”
“When is Hollywood going to move on from comics?”
These questions seem to come up a lot from movie-goers, primarily the Norms (i.e., non-geeks). So let me say this first: I enjoy super hero movies and don’t think there are too many of them. Now that that’s out of the way, let me explain.
