My kids are probably among the last whose family gets a daily newspaper with substantial,if somewhat dated,funny pages. (As I learned by reading his Twitter feed today,the 14-year-old gets a particular kick out of the absurdity of Mark Trail.) And of course,having access to their dad’s comic book collection,they’re familiar [...] [...]

Betting they did storage bins in-house,too.2 weeks ago  RT @dhewlett:“@fitzwillie:"A Hilarious New Web Series From Stargate’s David Hewlett" http://t.co/M13fkdZj” Thank you GeekDad!2 weeks ago | Robot 13,a comic about a skull-headed robot who fights ginormous monsters,is now available for the iPhone. This is Robot Comics’first adaptation that incorporates transition effects and simple animation,making the mobile version more than just a cut-to-size version of the original. As always,the first episode is free,so if you didn’t check [...] [...] Happy Comic Release Day! I picked Birds of Prey this week for two reasons. The first is that the canceled series is being relaunched this spring with Gail Simone as writer and Ed Benes as artist,a team also responsible for the comic’s definitive run. The second is that this book is the one that brought me [...] [...] Okay,I know,“Geekiest Comic Ever”is a big claim to make,considering there are other comics like “When Sysadmins Ruled the Earth.”But I had to get your attention somehow,right? And Erfworld is incredibly geeky in a fantastic way. (As opposed to geeky in a sci-fi way.) Here’s the plot:in the magical [...] [...] Like many others of my generation,I grew up reading Calvin and Hobbes in the newspaper,and it quickly became one of my favorites. In hindsight,I was much more like Susie (bit of a nerd,teacher’s pet,overachiever) than Calvin,but I loved his imagination and thought he was tremendously funny. And,of course,[...] [...] Seeing stories like this warms the cockles of my heart.

Starting Monday,Dec. 21,GeekDad will be happy (nay,ecstatic!) to start presenting the thrice-weekly geeky comic joy that is Dork Tower,by John Kovalic. If you know of Dork Tower,then you’re [...] [...] Happy New Comic Day! This week,I’m looking at a series that is part of the reason I fell in love with comics:The New Teen Titans by Marv Wolfman and George Perez. I collected this on first run starting in 1980,though I lost track of it when DC decided to shift the new stories to [...] [...] Happy Comic Release Day! Today’s spotlight is on Caliber. I received the trade paperback as part of a review packet that Radical Publishing sent out,as Geek Dad Jonathan detailed last week. Summary:Caliber revisits the myth of King Arthur,this time setting it in the American West,specifically the Pacific Northwest. Arthur is the one chosen to [...] [...] |    |
