Woopty-doo, the Flash is back! And this time? He’s a dick. The Silver-Age Flash, Barry Allen, died spectacularly way back in 1986 within the pages of Crisis on the Infinite Earths. For the longest time, this death seemed to be the one death beyond Bucky’s that was actually permanent in comics. Well Bucky’s back over […]
Well, that’s only half true. Luke Meyer, in addition to his weekly duties co-hosting The Podge Cast, will be writing a regular column for Ideology of Madness. His column, The Wizard Sleeve, will focus on gaming related topics with a heavy emphases on Fourth Edition DnD. We’re as tickled as we can be to welcome […]
When I picked up the much anticipated return of long-time deceased speedster Barry Allen in Flash Rebirth #1, I winced at the $3.99 cover price. It’s a hefty book, though. Thinking I was at least going to get my money’s worth, I picked it up. From cover to cover, there are 40 pages within the […]
I may get a few phone calls for this one… Proper geeks will know all the big names in Science Fiction and Fantasy. Tolkien, Roddenberry, Heinlein and dozens of other writers, producers and directors who feed the geek DVD and book shelf. In our modern day, we have a man by the name of Joss […]
Earlier this week, Twitter was – well – all a-twitter about the death of Dave Arneson, co-creator of Dungeons and Dragons. He was dead. He wasn’t dead. Oh way, he’s dead. Twitter was wrong, but then not so wrong. Dave Arneson lost his epic-level combat with cancer on April 7, 2009. I didn’t know Dave. […]
In an announcement released earlier today, The Cartoon Network declared the May 1st launch of Star Wars: The Clone Wars: Decoded… Coming off of the record-setting first season of Star Wars: The Clone Wars, Cartoon Network announced today it will premiere Star Wars: The Clone Wars: Decoded, a full slate of 22 enhanced episodes from […]
Sometimes I feel like a monkey. You know what I mean. Too much crap, not enough time. This past weekend for instance… between working in the yard Friday night as well as all day Saturday and Sunday, social commitments and quality time with the missus, there has been remarkably little time for geekery. Sure, I […]
So, Battle for the Cowl #2 comes out this week, furthering the storyline of the Arkham breakout, the group of supervillains led by Black Mask, and, most importantly, the fight for who’ll become the next Batman. As you can tell from the picture at right, last month’s picture of Dick Grayson as Batman was just […]
There is a phenomenon that I’ve noticed in the geek culture. I’ve watched the first Season of Heroes and part of the second. It started to slow down and I felt my time could be better spent drinking cheap booze and watching infomercials. Now, however, I hear about Season 3 of Heroes on a regular […]
I have a dark secret. I’m not a real geek. I’ve tried to be, I really have. I played D&D, watched a lot of Star Trek, gotten into arguments about Return of the Jedi being the best Star Wars movie. I’ve been to conventions, ran games, expressed outrage at the canceling of Firefly, all kinds […]
