“I am Spartacus!” Yes, I know it’s a meme, but it's been around since before memes even really existed—and I know that because I really love that movie. As much as I liked the classic film, I enjoyed the STARZ network television series even more.
James LizowskiPublished 7 years ago in Geeks'The Walking Dead' Geek Auction
I want to start this off by saying that I'm a huge, huge fan of The Walking Dead. Even before it was a television series, I was one of those geeks who snapped up every single comic book out there...or, in my case, did what I could to borrow my friends' copies. The more I got into the world of Rick Grimes and the survivors, the more I wanted to see what happened.
Patricia SarkarPublished 7 years ago in GeeksWeirdest Funko Characters
Dolls became action figures when boys started buying them in the 1970s. My first doll was a Six Million Dollar man aka The Bionic Man played by Lee Majors in the iconic TV series. But there was still a dividing line between boys and girls when it came to dolls/action figures. Funko Pop changed all that. It has reshaped the action figure industry and immortalized many an iconic pop culture character. And they have created a few really weird "dolls" along the way.

George GottPublished 7 years ago in GeeksEvolution of Children's Toys
It can be difficult to comprehend that there was even a time when toys were considered to be somewhat of a luxury item. In fact, prior to the 20th century, children had very few toy options available. The children from these early generations spent much of their time helping with simple household or outdoor chores. In those early times before there really ever was a legitimate children’s toy market; parents were forced to innovate their own objects for children to play with. Thus, some ancient cultures even resorted to using the remnants of animal carcasses to create balls, and many other entertaining objects like dice fashioned out of knuckle bones. As each century ran its course, toys continued to advance, and the evolution of children’s toys has progressed to a level that those previous generations could only have dreamt of.

Patricia SarkarPublished 7 years ago in Geeks'Star Wars' Fan Favorite Kindle Comic Books
Comic books are gateways to the broader universe of Star Wars. My favorite aspect of the comic book medium is the way the art can create a whole new visual take on the Star Wars story, or simply reinforce the pictures in your mind from childhood. Star Wars was unique in the world of pop culture franchises. It began first with the movie and then with the comic books. Ironically it has always been a world where the written word had to do justice to the visual, not vice versa, which is more often the case. Perhaps that is why such close attention to detail whether it be the art, the dialogue or the script, is what makes these Star Wars Kindle comics some of the big fan favorites.
