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. But this one, as well as the upcoming Iron Fist, are my most highly anticipated. Now, this is not a line for line interpretation of the iconic character, but all of the changes are minor, reflect his modern depiction and definitely add to the character as a whole.

Irregular’s Intel – Why I Love Luke Cage (Revisited)
Here at Geek Watch One, we try to not repeat ourselves. But with Luke Cage hitting Netflix this week, we thought it was worth revisiting Kylan’s post from last year covering the character’s history. Enjoy!
Luke Cage is a Marvel character who has been around since the early 70’s and has mostly been a B or C tier character until Alias (with Jessica Jones) and the “Civil War” event. Now he’s up there with the big boys – Cage is even an Avenger now! As you may know, he is one of my faves and is a great study in self improvement.

Comics Cosmos – Luke Cage
With the Luke Cage series hitting Netflix this weekend, it seems an appropriate time to give a little background on the character. Almost a year ago, right around the time Jessica Jones premiered, Kylan gave us a pretty extensive history of Luke Cage (and why he loves the character).

V-Yellow’s Comic Box – Returning Characters
So my original plan for this week’s blog had to get scraped. I was going to do a review on the Batman/ Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles issue #2 but when I went to the comic store by my house they were sold out, so I had to order it from Amazon and it’s not here yet. So instead this week I’m just going to go over what’s been buzzing on the internet with today’s recent comic book news. Continue reading V-Yellow’s Comic Box – Returning Characters
Irregular’s Intel – Black Friday Edition or Why I Love Luke Cage
Unless you’ve been stuck on Mars for the past six month, you have heard about Marvel’s Jessica Jones. For those in the know and not in the know, it is a series based on the Marvel Max miniseries Alias. It follows Jessica Jones, a former superhero turned private detective. She is a street level character who has some ties with Luke Cage. Now, Mr. Cage is a marvel character who has been around since the early 70’s and has mostly been a B or C tier character until Alias and the “Civil War” event. Now, he’s up there with the big boys – Cage is even an Avenger now! As you may know, he is one of my faves and is a great study in self improvement. Ride with me in the way back machine as I give you a crash course on him from his meager beginnings to his rise to the top.
