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.
