My absolute highlight of Comic-Con was seeing the premiere of the trailer for AMC’s The Walking Dead. On my geek-o-meter, this one is off the charts. And why wouldn’t it be? The Walking Dead is arguably the most popular comic book these days, Frank Darabont is guiding the way for ...

Since there’s simply so much stuff I collected at Comic-Con (freebies and samples, review copies, books I actually purchased…) I thought I’d group some reviews together for easier browsing. This edition: kids’ stuff! Most of these are things that are appropriate for young kids, things that I ...

It’s been two weeks since Comic-Con and the world has already moved on to the next thing (Gen Con, anyone?) but I’m still sorting through my photos from the trip. There’s such a tremendous amount going on for the four days that it’s impossible to encapsulate in just a few ...

Many amazing things dropped at SDCC this year, and we're still sifting through the piles of awesome to see what we missed as we watched the flurry of tweets. And one thing that has totally floored us a couple days later is this trailer for the upcoming DC Universe MMO. ...

It’s been great watching all of the GeekDad coverage of San Diego Comic-Con, and I am quite envious of the people who were able to attend this year. Fortunately nothing is really that far away on the internet, and I have been cruising the blogs, Twitter, and YouTube looking for ...

I remember reading Ray Bradbury for the first time in junior high. I had a class called “Reading for Fun” which was basically an open period to encourage us to read; I didn’t really need any encouragement but I couldn’t pass up more time for books. I read Something Wicked ...

— We’re going to try something different this week. Puzzle I’m going to venture out from behind the keyboard and monitor glow to head out into the real world. Along with GeekDad Jonathan Liu, I’m going to Comic-Con in San Diego to bask in the geeky goodness of comic books, sci-fi stories, movies, ...

Many comics fans lament the way that Comic-Con has become a massive hype machine for Hollywood, the way that movies or TV shows that don’t seem remotely relevant to the geek crowd get the big halls and impossibly long lines. I mean, sure, there are lots of people who will ...
