In Short: Tony Stark faces his (and the country’s) demons.
Recommended: Hell, yes!
TONY: You know, it’s moments like these when I realize how much of a superhero I am.
The Marvel Universe is one of my very favorite vacation spots, but after the mind-blowing awesome that was Joss …

Earlier this year, geek goddess Felicia Day drew her hit webseries to a close… or did she?
by Kellie Sheridan
For anyone who has somehow not yet heard, The Guild is a geektastic webseries that follows the “real lives” of a guild of six socially awkward gamers as they interact both in and out of their favorite online video game. You can even argue it is the web series, as it was one of the very first to reach large scale popularity, and is even credited as being part of Joss Whedon’s …

In Short: Merle tries to end the prison/Woodbury standoff on his own by delivering Michonne to The Governor.
Recommended: Hell yes!!!
DARYL: Not saying this was the wrong call, but this is definitely the right one.
This show hurts my soul in all the right ways. “This Sorrowful Life” cranked the tension up to ten right from the first scene, then took us on a ride that was equal parts zombie killing and character growth, before brutally killing off one of …

In Short: Rick, Michonne and Carl go on a supply run, where Rick runs into an old friend.
Recommended: Kind of.
MICHONNE: They deserved what they got. They weren’t human to begin with.
I ended up watching this episode a day late, which gave me plenty of time to hear other people’s opinions of “Prey”. Some people thought it was fantastic, and others were downright bored. Personally, I’d been hoping for an episode where bored wasn’t even a possibility, so …

In Short: Rick and The Governor meet for peace talks.
Recommended: Yes.
ANDREA: Save the bullets for the real threats.
That’s it! I’m officially sick of character building. Okay, maybe not, but at the very least I’m definitely craving a little more threat from the zombie menace the show is named after. In this week’s episode of The Walking Dead, Rick (Andrew Lincoln) and The Governor (David Morrissey) met after Andrea (Laurie Holden) decided they needed a sit down to work …

In Short: Rick, Michonne and Carl go on a supply run, where Rick runs into an old friend.
Recommended: Hell, yes.
RICK: Do you know who I am? Do you see who I am?
MORGAN: People wearing dead people’s faces.
Not too long ago, we heard the news that The Walking Dead’s current show runner Glen Mazzara would be leaving the show due to “differences of opinion” in where the show should go with AMC. Understandably, this made a lot of people …

Now in its second year, the organizer of Australia’s latest large-scale “pop-culture event” explains how it all came to be…
by Rachel Hyland
For many fans of genre in all its many, many forms – sci-fi, fantasy, horror, anime, gaming, comics, TV, film, so very etc. – the highlight of any given social season will very often be some form of Convention. Even now, long after the advent of the internet and when members of even the most obscure fandoms can easily find a website or mailing list through which to connect …

In Short: The Governor kick-starts the prison vs. Woodbury war, while the group tries to find a new balance without Rick or Daryl to take the lead.
Recommended: Yes!
BETH: Why are we so sure he is going to attack? Maybe you scared him off?
MICHONNE: He had fish tanks full of heads; walkers and human… trophies. He’s coming.
Just what the doctor ordered, an unexpected character death. While this week’s episode may have started off with a lot more talking, and moving …

In Short: The dust settles after Rick’s group invades Woodbury as Daryl and Merle are finally reunited, and Rick must decide how to proceed.
Recommended: Yes
TYREESE: I must be the first brother in history to break into prison.
The Walking Dead is back! Unfortunately, it looks like the fan base may have been over-hyping this show’s triumphant return. “The Suicide King” ushered in the second half of the season but with none of the flair or dramatics we’d been expecting. …

Love is in the air and we here at Geek Speak are celebrating with a very special Geek VS Geek about my favorite comic book pairing of all time: Batman and Wonder Woman. Throughout their incarnations (Wonder Woman was first introduced in 1941, Batman in 1939) the two have been teammates, friends, antagonists, and love interests. Many writers have explored, or a better word might be hinted at, their relationship across the DC Universe. Their relationship has also been hinted at on the Justice League and Justice League Unlimited cartoons …
