The 73rd Co(s)mic ComicBook B'Cast: A Magnificent Series: Secret Wars Revisited.

When I set out to record the latest video for my YouTube Channel: Comicbook Broadcaster, I decided to talk about the Marvel Superheroes Secret Wars Limited Series that was released in 1984 (wow!) it didn't dawn on me that I had already talked about Secret Wars right here on my blog.  Yeah I did, I had totally forgotten.  So, instead of giving up, I decided to go ahead and record the video and post it up on YouTube.  That brings us to the 73rd Co(s)mic ComicBook B'Cast: A Magnificent Series: Secret Wars Revisited.  Long title, I know but I couldn't think of anything snappy. 

Now if you want to have a look at my previous blog entries on Secret Wars, I thought I would include the links for you, yes I said links, there's more than one, there were THREE, count 'em THREE entries I did on Secret Wars.  Here they are:

So there you go.  Now you might be asking, why do a video on The Secret Wars Limited Series if I've already covered it in my blog.  Well, when I was doing my homework researching the Limited Series, I realized that come May of this year, Secret Wars will be 33 years old.  33 years old, that's a whole living person right there.  I was shocked, well impressed is the better word and when I asked around if anyone remembers Secret Wars, many people were still fans of the Limited Series and remember it fondly.  many would credit Secret Wars as the comic series that brought them in comics. Wow!  Some would call Secret Wars one of if not the most significant comic book series ever.  It's a highly rated series right up there with Crisis on Infinite Earths from DC Comics.  High praise indeed.

And Secret Wars had a really great storyline behind it.  The Superheroes of Earth go missing,  nobody, not even the other superheroes knew what had happened to them.  Leaving everyone wondering "WHERE ARE THEY?"

 Well, we knew where our heroes were.  On Battleworld and they were not alone.

Yeah.... they had a few...friends with them and they even brought with them a really, really, really BIG dude.

Galactus gets knocked out!! Wow and all this happens in the first issue of Secret Wars.  It was also in Secret Wars that Spider-Man got a new costume.

You get the idea, overall Marvel Superheroes Secret Wars was indeed a truly exciting and in those days a ground breaking mini or limited series.  Over the years there have been many series similar to Secret Wars but I still treasure this unique 12 issue Limited Series.  Okay, so let's get to the video I recorded for my YouTube channel about Marvel Superheroes Secret Wars.

The 72nd Co(s)mic ComicBook B'Cast: Every Geek Guy's Dreams Come True!

When someone describes your comicbook as:

"A charming debut, the dialogue displays a witty back and forth that would make Kevin Smith proud." 

The words of:  Kris Bather, Broken Frontier.

I would consider that high praise.  Then again I am a huge Kevin Smith fan, so it goes without saying that Geek Girl would be something I would enjoy.   Welcome to the 72nd Co(s)mic ComicBook B'Cast.  For a change I'm not going to talk about a comic book by Sam Johnson called GEEK-GIRL but I am going to talk about GEEK GIRL by Sam Johnson....................wait, what?? 

Now for those of you who are not familiar with Geek-Girl, here's a little story about her.  


When 'Little Miss Popular' Ruby Kaye lands a pair of super-tech glasses (invented by brainiac college geek Trevor Goldstein) in a game of Strip Poker, she's granted flight, super-strength, and - due to a flaw in the glasses' programming - super-klutziness!

And this is just the beginning of the changes the glasses will wreak on Ruby says creator/writer Sam Johnson (The Almighties, Cabra Cini: Voodoo Junkie Hitwoman); “The tech in the glasses that college chick ‘It Girl’ Ruby selfishly gets a hold of will have a profound effect on her - altering the very ways she thinks and acts. And ‘wreak’ is an appropriate choice of word, as the majority of her ‘cooler-than-thou’ clique ain’t gonna be too impressed with the changes the specs bring about in Ms. Ruby Kaye.

If you're wondering how is it I never heard about Geek Gil and you're asking what do I need to do to to get a hold of Geek Girl?  Well you are in luck because according to Sam Johnson, there's a  specially priced 'Jump-On-issue,' Geek-Girl #3, featuring a bonus recap of Geek-Girl #1-#2, Ruby is ready to fully embrace being a super-hero. ...But is she ready for Mr. Mash-Up? 

“Ruby got the glasses on a whim, by getting their inventor [her resident college brainiac, Trevor Goldstein] drunk and winning them from him in a game of Strip Poker,” says Geek-Girl's creator/writer Sam Johnson; “She didn't really think what she'd do with them, and the first thing she wound up doing was alienating the majority of her shallow girl friends by, not used to the physical strength they give her, knocking drinks over them and - at least in their eyes – making a fool of herself.

“But one friend who did stick by her is her BFF Summer James,” Johnson continues; “Summer encouraged Ruby to uses her powers in the way that we, as comic fans, would expect, and to get to grips with her new identity. Ruby is now ready to be a super-hero, and she's out looking for crime. D-List super-villains Monsieur A and A-Juan – a.k.a. A Game – are her first targets... but from there, things are going to get a little... weird...

“Mr. Mash-Up is something quite different; the bastard love child of a demon and a goddess, Mash-Up (a.k.a. Arin Zahne) has a dark, twisted agenda, and when Ruby sets out to take him down, she's going to get hit where it really hurts.” 

Are you as intrigued as I am?  You can find out what that's going to mean for Ruby in Geek-Girl #3, written by Johnson, illustrated by Carlos Granda, and published by Markosia; Out Now and available in specially priced $2.99 Regular, $1.99 Digital, and Limited Variant editions at www.geekgirlcomics.com and www.comixology.com

Oh before I forget, here's a look at the variant cover for Geek Girl # 3.

And here's what others are saying about Geek Girl, don't just take my word for it, here's what they said:

  

"A brilliant premise, an interesting character, and intriguing prospects for the future."

-Chris Orr, Dress Like The Hulk.

“A great series to get into if you’re looking for something super-hero related but original and interesting in its own right.” -Jay Brown, Comic Sleuth.

“This book is every geek guy's fantasy come true!” -Mark L. Miller, Ain't It Cool News.

“Geek-Girl puts the human back in super-human.” -Wayne Hall, Major Spoilers.

"A charming debut, the dialogue displays a witty back and forth that would make Kevin Smith proud." -Kris Bather, Broken Frontier.
