Yotsuba

Wednesday January 18, 2012

Tonight on GeekNights, correcting a surprising gap in our reviews, we cover Yotsuba! In the news, a comic shop runs (with some DC money) an amazing... advertisement, leading to the usual Internet shitstorm.

Drops of God and two Movies

Wednesday December 7, 2011

Tonight on GeekNights, we review the manga Drops of God, now in print in English from Vertical. We then briefly review Welcome to the Space Show and Children Who Chase Lost Voices from Deep Below (two anime movies definitely worth watching). But before that, we GeekBite the underrated Wolverine and the X-Men and we discuss the devastating news that Satoshi Kon's last (unfinished) work - The Dream Machine - has ceased production.

Be sure to check out our many lectures and other videos from PAX East 2011 and Pax Prime 2012 on the Youtube channel. We will be at Nerd Nite this Thursday presenting an abbreviated version of "Losing Should be Fun," nevermind MAGFest!

Redline

Wednesday November 9, 2011

Tonight on GeekNights, we review the much-hyped (and justifiably so) Redline. It's worth your while. It's also worth a non-anime-fan's while. It's also put out by Madhouse. Akio may or may not have a cameo.

The New 52: Week Two

Wednesday October 26, 2011

Tonight on GeekNights, continuing with our full review of all of the New 52 from DC, including Batman and Robin, Batwoman, Deathstroke, Demon Knights, Frankenstein Agent of S.H.A.D.E., Green Lantern, Grifter, Legion Lost, Mister Terrific, Red Lanterns, Resurrection Man, Suicide Squad, and Superboy.

The New 52: Week One

Wednesday October 12, 2011

Tonight on GeekNights, we begin reviewing the New 52 from DC Comics. We begin with Justice League, Action Comics, Animal Man, Batgirl, Batwing, Detective Comics, Green Arrow, Hawk and Dove, Justice League International, Men of War, O.M.A.C., Static Shock, Stormwatch, and Swamp Thing! Some of them are pretty good. Some of them are, well... In the news, the New York Comic Con (and what's left of the vestigal New York Anime Festival is this weekend, and alcohol's effects are possibly largely based on cultural perception.

GeekNights Worst Webcomic Contest

Wednesday September 28, 2011

Tonight on GeekNights, we bring you the exciting conclusion to the GeekNights Worst Webcomic Contest! We want to thank all of our submitters: you're all jerks! Second, we want to thank all of our "entries:" remember that even the "worst" creative output is better than no output! If you're going to do something, OWN it. Before this, however, we geekbite Thundercats, and a pretty-cool Madoka Majica poster is sold for way too much money.

Now, we cover the following comics. Some of them are NOT safe for work. However, they're surprisingly not that bad. Some of them are downright excellent, and some of them are fine, just not for us.

The winner, by a WIDE margin, is Billy The Heretic. Congratulations?
