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.

The 71st Co(s)mic ComicBook B'Cast: The Infinity Gauntlet!!

Hey ComicBook Fans,

Welcome to another edition of my blog: The Co(s)mic ComicBook B'Cast.  This time around I'm going to be talking about a 1991 Six part Mini Series from Marvel Comics.  The Mini Series entitled: The Infinity Gauntlet!!

The Infinity Gauntlet was written by Jim Starlin, penciled by George Perez and Ron Lim, Inked by Joe Rubinstein and Tom Christopher.  Infinity Gauntlet was a storyline which is the culmination of events from Silver Surfer # 34, The 2 part Thanos Quest also written by Jim Starlin.  The Infinity Gauntlet was a thrilling six issue mini series which saw Thanos The Mad Titan using the Infinity Gauntlet which has the six Infinity Gems .  Each Gem grants its bearer complete mastery over one aspect of the multiverse: Time, Space, Mind, Soul, Reality, and Power. Combined on the Infinity Gauntlet it provides Omnipresence, Omniscience, and Omnipotence.

Now an all-powerful and by the way desperate Thanos tries to win the affections of Death.  He decides to offer the entity a gift of love by completing a task she had given him, erasing half the sentient life in the Marvel Universe.

And Thanos did in fact do what Death wanted, he literally wiped out half the universe which includes most of the X-Men, Daredevil, Rick Jones, The Fantastic Four, Alpha Flight, The Avengers and more.  Thanos did this simply by snapping his fingers.

The surviving heroes on Earth band together guided by the newly resurrected Adam Warlock to stop Thanos.

With so many heroes missing in action, a few alliances had to be made, including one with a certain monarch.

You just knew Doom had his own agenda in all this.  You knew he was going to do something really devious no matter what happens.  Will the heroes defeat Thanos?  Will they be able to stop the Mad Titan's mad schemes?  This mini series answers all your questions in 6 thrilling issues.

In a bid to impress Death, Thanos allows the heroes a slight chance of winning, but easily defeats and kills almost all of them. Thanos then goes on to defeat and imprison many of the universe's cosmic entities.

Will the Cosmic Entities be able to stop the Mad Titan?  What happens to Earth's heroes?  Will they triumph in the end?  Well the only way to know that is to read the mini series, you won't regret getting The Infinity Gauntlet and adding it to your collection.  I loved Infinity Gauntlet so much, I bought the 6 issues and also a trade-paperback.
You may have heard (well who hasn't) that the next Avengers movie will be based on Infinity Gauntlet, it'll be called Avengers: Infinity War Parts 1 and 2.  I can't wait for that movie to happen.  I made a video about the Infinity Gauntlet and Avengers: Infinity War in my YouTube channel.  I uploaded it earlier today, if you'd like to have a look at my video, here's the link right here:
