From Marvel to DC, Geeks explores the popular and independant comic titles in the geek universe.

Gen V
We are rounding to a close on the first season of Gen V and it has been a well paced rollercoaster. I am very invested in this show. The younger characters are written very well and are easy to connect to. I like seeing the younger generation get a handle on their powers and struggle with their morality before they are grown up and Vought pushes them into the spotlight. When we last left off in episode 6 with our group now popped back into the real world and out of Cate’s mind. Our latest plot development is that the virus that The Woods has been producing and testing on Supes isn’t really about controlling them or even making them sick, it's about killing them. Dean Sheddy is hoping this virus can be made contagious to theoretically eradicate the Supes from the world. I don’t think I’m reaching in saying that we can probably expect another death before the end of the season.

The Sandman: "Brief Lives"
There's no denying that Neil Gaiman's epic comic series The Sandman is a work of sheer brilliance; the sprawling horror fantasy encompasses ten volumes of individual issues, spanning various story arcs, all culminating in the saga of Lord Morpheus, Dream of the Eternals, whose brothers and sisters include Despair, Destiny, Desire, Delirium, Death, and Destruction. It is the latter, the renegade Destruction, who left his realm as an Eternal to strike out in the human world; on a remote island, with a curmudgeonly talking dog, and Destruction as his Boy (ala' Vic and Blood in Harlan Ellison's famous story). Across the way, on the famous Isle of Lesbos, lives Orpheus, son of Morpheus, a talking head guarded over zealously by a personal retinue of keepers.

Veins of Valour
Alex Thompson, a lanky journalist with a penchant for tripping over his own shoes, was notorious at City Chronicles for two things: his endless curiosity and his unfortunate ability to spill coffee on any new shirt he wore.

Discover A Gripping Story Of Retribution: Kagura Bachi
Discover A Gripping Story Of Retribution: Kagura Bachi This week’s manga recommendation Kagura Bachi by Takeru Hoazono is a truly captivating manga that masterfully immerses its readers in a gripping tale of vengeance, suspense, and breathtakingly vivid scenes of action. As you delve into the pages, you will find yourself transported to an alternative version of 1920s Japan – one that harkens back to the classic mob movies we've all come to admire. In this tumultuous world, the ever-present menace of the Yakuza coexists with an enigmatic group of powerful sorcerers whose abilities extend beyond the realm of human comprehension. At the heart of this unforgettable saga stands Chihiro Rokuhira, a 14-year-old boy determined to honor the memory and wisdom of his father, Kunishige – a legendary swordsman whose teachings revolve around responsibility, integrity, and the heavy emotional toll that inevitably comes with wielding a sword. Throughout his journey, Chihiro faces numerous challenges and harrowing encounters as he grapples with the complex ethics and relentless hardships that define his path as an aspiring fighter in this beautifully crafted narrative.

I have reviewed the comic book series called "The EC Archives".
Welcome back to the 1950s Science Fiction Podcast. In this episode, I'll be discussing three comics from the EC Archives. These stories were originally published in Incredible Science Fictions issues #31 and #33, by EC Publishing. The first story, Fulfillment, was printed in #31; the second, Has Been, was also published in #31; and the last story, Kaleidoscope, was published in #33.

Gen V
Okay so last week in Gen V we dealt with our main characters being mind wiped and not knowing what was going on. They also just found out that Cate is the one behind their memory lapses. Andre is very hurt (as he should be) and Cate seems to have switched sides so that she stands with her friends now.

Thought On Flawed Inclusion In Marvel Comics
Introduction With films becoming more inclusive and audiences rewarding many of these movies at the box office I have been thinking a lot about inclusivity in art. Examining 4 of my favourite black Marvel characters seems to show a positive outcome for representation even if their early depictions (and perhaps some of their modern ones) have their flaws. Specifically, Black Panther, Blade, Storm and Miles Morales were all flawed or controversial depictions of black characters mainly created by white men, but overall these creators were successful in their goal of adding some diversity to the Marvel universe.

New York City Comic Con
New York Comic Con Weekend: Top Five Moments of NYCC 2023 This past weekend New York City hosted their annual Comic Con. Like other Comic Cons held around the county, there was plenty of newsworthy entertainment this weekend. With fans from around the world excited to cosplay and engage with each other at one of the biggest conventions for the media. NYCC attendees were greeted by a large display of Toei animation with giant balloons of Monkey D. Luffy from One Piece and Piccolo from Dragon Ball Z. Franchises went out of their way to bring color and excitement to the visiting fans. This year's NYCC like other conventions in the past few months have had restricted announcements due to the ongoing SAG-AFTRA strike that's impacting a large portion of the entertainment world. Even with the ongoing strike celebrities, influencers and companies managed to put on a decent Comic Con.

Gen V
We left off episode 4 with Emma getting all big trying to subdue Sam at the doctors house. And there is this really hard cut and our characters don’t seem to remember anything from the night and day before. So we are missing big giant chunks of time from a very intense moment. And though it seems like it was just a giant party there seems to be more going on.
