Best Geeky Finds – The End of Fables

bestgeekyfindsImagine a world where fairy tales are real and still living among us in a secret, hidden away block of… Maine? No, this isn’t Once Upon A Time.

Before the inception of ABC’s Storybrook, Maine, authors Bill Willingham and Mark Buckingham created the graphic novel series Fables, which tells the story of Snow White, the Big Bad (Bigby) Wolf, Jack, Rose Red, and many, many more fairy tales living in Manhattan after having been chased from their homelands by the Adversary and its army.

Ten years later, with 5 spin-off graphic novel series, a regular novel, a video game, a proposed (yet failed) television series, and even a board game (as Willingham reminds readers is in issue #100), the series reached its final issue/volume this past July with #150.

V-Yellow’s Comic Box – Introductions

VernComicHello 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.

Gotham Gal West Coast – Darn Dirty Klingons

GGWestNow, as a geek, I have a confession to make. I am not a huge Star Trek the Original Series fan, but I do love the original Planet of the Apes movies. I have yet to see the new movies, but I do like the Star Trek reboot movies. So this IDW Published graphic novel was a no brainer for me—they have great storylines, and I really enjoyed their Star Trek : Next Generation/Doctor Who crossover.  Continue reading Gotham Gal West Coast – Darn Dirty Klingons
