The thing is I&#8217;m quite bad at sharing these finds myself. So today I thought I&#8217;d make a change and start sharing more. </strong></p>
<p>Here are my favourite comic-tweet-picks-of-the-week (who knows it might become a regular feature).</p>
<p>If you like any of these comic images tell them, I&#8217;ve embedded their tweets to make it easier for you to show your appreciation.</p>

<div id="attachment_3165" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://insidepulse.com/2011/01/14/top-ten-books-you-arent-buying-janurary-2011-edition/marvel-comic-logo-500x212/"><img class="size-full wp-image-3165" src="http://geekoverture.com/files/2011/11/marvel-comic-logo-500x212-300x127.jpg" alt="Image via Inside Pulse" width="300" height="127" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Image via Inside Pulse</p></div>
<p>Sure, DC hasn&#8217;t exactly been getting accolades all over the place for retconning <em>Batgirl</em> out of the wheelchair and for pretty much all of the first few issues of <em>Voodoo</em>. However: that doesn&#8217;t get Marvel a pass for getting rid of the only two solo ongoings this year featuring women front and centre.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s especially disappointing after all the hoopla over the Women of Marvel. Because, wait. We&#8217;re going to devote a whole year to promoting the roster of female characters, then as soon as it&#8217;s done, axe the only two female solo ongoings? Despite the fact several lower-performing titles were kept? Should have guessed it was too good to be true after the Greg Land cover for the <em>Women of Marvel</em> TPB.</p>
<p>OK, I admit I didn&#8217;t really expect the post-<em>Fear Itself Ghost Rider</em> to do incredibly well, considering how there were complaints all over the place about the very existence of the Fear Itself storyline. How do we boost sales? Everyone is a Thor! You get the feeling the recent Disney merger has taken time away from creative meetings in Marvel HQ. Plus, Johnny Blaze is a tough act to follow, as all the other Ghost Rider iterations have proved.</p>
<p>Now, X-23&#8230; she&#8217;s a bit of a problematic character to begin with, but Marjorie Liu&#8217;s actually being doing a pretty serviceable job. The character&#8217;s seen some major shifts since her introduction as Wolverine&#8217;s angry, preteen clone in <em>X-Men: Evolution</em>. Later she was a masochism-oriented teen prostitute, she&#8217;s been Captain Universe (for a little bit) and she&#8217;s been a key member of a secret killing squad, but under Liu&#8217;s tenure, her character was definitely being made more introspective and non-comic-reader friendly. It&#8217;s nice when an author can acknowledge an <em>only in comics</em> sex and violence past, but in a subtle and measured way you don&#8217;t often see in the medium.</p>
<p>Sure, X-23&#8242;s apparently being scooted over to the absolutely fantastic <em>Avengers Academy </em>and the absolutely crazy looking <em>New Fantastic Four</em> mini, so we&#8217;ll still have more to look forward to in Adventures in Teen Angst if that&#8217;s what you&#8217;re into. But being on a team isn&#8217;t quite the same as heading a solo title, even if it&#8217;s a girl-heavy title like <em>Academy</em>. In team titles, you&#8217;ll tend to see the characters as they relate to other people in their group, less of how they stand up on their own two feet and deal with problems that affect them (unless someone decides to gift a character with starring role in a multi-arc story). And frankly, there&#8217;s a ton of Marvel comics with the team dynamic out there, I want to see something a bit different. Like girls being badass all on their own.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m not mad, Marvel. Just a bit disappointed.</p>
<p>Hey, at least there&#8217;s always that ABC TV show they&#8217;re making out of <em>Alias</em> to look forward to, although<em> AKA Jessica Jones</em> is a pretty rubbish title (also, please Marvel, make a Valkyrie miniseries, I&#8217;ll love you forever).</p>

<p>Hello Frank.</p>
<p>Can I call you Frank? I hope so. I feel you have spoken to me through the years through your work. I was hoping to reply to your <a title="Frank Miller Ink" href="http://frankmillerink.com/" target="_blank">blog</a> post. Is that okay? Thanks Frank. I knew you&#8217;d understand.</p>
<p>The great thing about a democracy is that everyone has an opinion. From the workers on the street, to the CEOs of big companies and even guys who work in the comic books industry. But for too long the left wing government have controlled the masses through the media, orchestrating campaigns to bring down all that makes America great from the inside. Finally the internet has caught up to the idea of democracy and allowed the repressed minority to finally have a voice. That voice is yours Frank. You are so much more than a comic book writer and artist.</p>
<p>For years you have helped to show that all women can be strippers and hookers (look how empowered they are with their big guns) and now you are telling it like it is to this &#8220;pack of louts, thieves, and rapists&#8221; on the Occupy Wall Street movement. Surely the police should be stepping in to stop all that rape. Maybe they got to the police too. Hopefully your message will get to them before it&#8217;s too late.</p>
<p>I couldn&#8217;t possible do justice to your great words so here are some highlights to remind you. I know you like reading your own work.</p>
<blockquote><p>“Occupy” is nothing short of a clumsy, poorly-expressed attempt at anarchy, to the extent that the “movement” – HAH! Some “movement”, except if the word “bowel” is attached – is anything more than an ugly fashion statement by a bunch of iPhone, iPad wielding spoiled brats who should stop getting in the way of working people and find jobs for themselves.</p>
<p>This is no popular uprising. This is garbage. And goodness knows they’re spewing their garbage – both politically and physically – every which way they can find.</p>
<p>Wake up, pond scum. America is at war against a ruthless enemy.</p>
<p>Maybe, between bouts of self-pity and all the other tasty tidbits of narcissism you’ve been served up in your sheltered, comfy little worlds, you’ve heard terms like al-Qaeda and Islamicism.</p></blockquote>
<p>Frank,  there&#8217;s been some kind of misunderstanding. The children do not know what they do wrong. They&#8217;ve lived such a sheltered life. The iPods their rich parents have given them, have not informed but rather corrupted. Where there is an entrepeurial spirit they see only greed, where there is fair reward, they see injustice. Like Batman, if only their parents had been killed then maybe they would actually see the true enemy, join the Army and fight the good fight rather than sponging off the state with their hippie communist ideals.</p>
<p>If religion is dead, then they&#8217;ve turned to the media and what messages are they getting? Clearly the wrong ones. In your position as a rich and influential media figure, it is your patriotic duty to speak up. A hero should rise to demonstrate the differences between right and wrong in black and white. Hey, you should write a graphic novel so all those kids can be informed. Wait, what?  You have?</p>
<p><em><a title="Holy Terror Wiki" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holy_Terror_(graphic_novel)" target="_blank">Holy Terror</a></em> is a highly nuanced comic book interpretation of the war on terror. Well except for the nuanced part. It&#8217;s recieved high critical acclaim such having been described as one of the most &#8220;<a title="Wired" href="http://www.wired.com/underwire/2011/09/holy-terror-frank-miller/" target="_blank">appalling, offensive and vindictive comics of all time</a>&#8220;. Poor brainwashed critics. It&#8217;s sad.</p>
<p>Hopefully if people read the gospel according to Frank they will finally see the light, stop these peaceful protests against a machine they don&#8217;t understand and finally start fighting.</p>
<p>Together maybe we can save this lost generation.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div id="attachment_2904" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 235px"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/tineyho/2439323917/"><img class="size-medium wp-image-2904" src="http://geekoverture.com/files/2011/11/psylocke-TineyHo-225x300.jpg" alt="Image via TineyHo" width="225" height="300" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Image via TineyHo</p></div>
<p>Today&#8217;s pull list involves more Dark Ages fantasy adventures, a new magic-based superhero and the grimdarkest of X-Men.</p>
<p><strong>Demon Knights #3</strong></p>
<p>Madame Xanadu starts off the book with a magic shielding spell that comes at a terrible price and Etrigan is pissed that his girlfriend now looks about 80. Oh, and barbarians are still knocking at the metaphorical gate. It&#8217;s a dire situation for a band of seven heroes that don&#8217;t even know each others&#8217; names, but things are only going to get worse from here.</p>
<p>Absolutely love how they&#8217;re showing the relationship between Xanadu and Etrigan/Jason Blood in this issue. Duplicitous romantic double-dealing is exactly the kind of thing that makes Etrigan such an intriguing character. What does it mean for your worldly relationships when you&#8217;re essentially two extremely different people occupying the same space? When one of those two is a badass Prince of Hell?</p>
<p>Also, I&#8217;m curious to see what&#8217;s up with Shining Knight being reluctant to admit to being a woman. Could just be one of those Mulan &#8220;woman trying to make her way in a man&#8217;s world&#8221; type things, but I get the feeling there might be some proper angst behind it that&#8217;ll make for a neat little subplot in the future. Or maybe they just decided to bring the whole bishonen thing over from the manga world (twist of the century)?</p>
<p><strong>The Occultist #1</strong></p>
<p>Hey look, it&#8217;s a miniseries coming out of that oneshot Dark Horse put out last year. And it&#8217;s your basic supernatural setup: Everyday Joe finds out he has a magical destiny, bounty hunters are after the source of his new powers, you know the drill.</p>
<p>Artwise, I wouldn&#8217;t say it&#8217;s particularly stand-out (lacks a bit too much detail in the expressions and in the background for that), but it&#8217;s not exactly distracting away from the story. Of course, it&#8217;s also pretty heavy on the cheesecake, though nowhere <em>Voodoo #1</em> levels. Seriously though, I question how easy bounty hunting would be in some of those costumes.</p>
<p>In all, it&#8217;s servicible for the horror-magic story it&#8217;s telling, but I have to admit that it feels a bit paint by numbers at times. It&#8217;s just so Dark Horse (admittedly, I do love a good Dark Horse pulp supernatural comic). Plus, I don&#8217;t know how much of a story they&#8217;re going to be able to tell in three issues, but still: need to see more plot development, but hopeful.</p>
<p><strong>Uncanny X-Force #17</strong></p>
<p>On this issue of Team Claws, Knives and Psychics 2.0, Betsy struggles with the whole on-a-track-to-be-Death-the-Horseman thing from last issue and Flashbacks are had. Oh yes, many pseudo-flashbacks are had.</p>
<p>The entire Dark Angel storyline has been pure operatic melodrama from start to finish, which is saying something since UXC is the series that had Fantomex shooting Kid-Apocalypse in the head, but it kind of goes with the territory if you&#8217;re going to tackle Archangel and his Death persona. I swear to god though, I&#8217;m going to cry like a baby if/when Archangel dies next concluding issue. He may not have had the strongest powerset out of the original X-Men, but the shoutout to <em>X-Men</em> Vol. 1 #1&#8242;s cover at the beginning is a reminder of how far the character has come from his squeaky clean &#8217;60s origins. Which is to say, he&#8217;s <em>so &#8217;90s</em>. They should do a <em>Spawn</em> crossover.</p>
<p>And I still strongly dislike Fantomex. Smarmy faux-French bastard.</p>
<p>I would say go and buy it, but if sales figures and reviews are anything to go by, you&#8217;re probably buying it anyways. While you&#8217;re at it, pick up a copy of <em>Demon Knights</em>, I&#8217;ll be extremely sad if it gets cancelled before its time.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div id="attachment_2652" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/75001512@N00/5639471596/"><img class="size-medium wp-image-2652" src="http://geekoverture.com/files/2011/11/apollo-and-midnighter-Joelk75-300x225.jpg" alt="Image via Joelk75" width="300" height="225" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Image via Joelk75 via flickr</p></div>
<p>And we&#8217;re back for another batch of mini-reviews. So, what&#8217;s good this week? The answer is pretty much:<em> Animal Man</em>. But you probably already knew that.</p>
<p><strong>Stormwatch #3</strong></p>
<p>Stormwatch continues to fight the Moon, Apollo and Midnighter finally teams up with Stormwatch proper to help against this week&#8217;s threat to earth. Some great fleshing out of Jack Hawksmoor, the Engineer and Apollo here, though it still kind of feels like we&#8217;re in the getting to know you stage. Apparently Midnighter will be taking centre stage in the next issue though, so that&#8217;ll be something to look forward to.</p>
<p>Story-wise, have to say it&#8217;s all reminding me a bit of <em>Starship Troopers</em>, with the asteroid missiles and the tentacular insectoid monsters, all rendered in variable murky art and computer-generated shiny. (yeah, it&#8217;s not my favourite book in terms of art, that&#8217;s for certain)</p>
<p>But honestly, I&#8217;m mostly just reading this for when Apollo and Midnighter get back together. I still have yet to be convinced that the Wildstorm characters really work in DC continuity. Prove me wrong, DC!</p>
<p><strong>X-23 #16</strong></p>
<p>Remember that weirdly-out-of-character Captain Universe plot from ages ago? Well, it&#8217;s finally getting wrapped up. Last time we left off, Valeria Richards was being possessed by the Whirldemon King trying to open a portal to earth. You know, usual stuff.</p>
<p>X-23 the character actually makes some pretty good progress in this issue, showing off her penchant for self sacrifice in the face of danger. I&#8217;m personally of the opinion that Marjorie Liu has been doing some great work with turning Laura into more than Wolverine&#8217;s angsty damaged child soldier girlclone, and this arc is a pretty solid example of <em>New X-23</em>, especially in her interactions with Marvel&#8217;s First Family. Although I have to say, the writing veers a bit flowery when Laura goes all Uni-Powered.</p>
<p>Seriously though, I can&#8217;t imagine a better artist than Phil Noto drawing the whole <em>X-23/FF</em> crossover arc. He has this whole &#8217;60s vibe that works incredibly well with the RETRO SCIENCE ADVENTURES that Fantastic Four tends to entail. Also, he draws one hell of a Sue Storm. I&#8217;d like to see him get regular work on an actual Fantastic Four book sometime, or maybe an alternate universe Avengers set in the mid 20th.</p>
<p><strong>Animal Man #3</strong></p>
<p>This is pretty much turning out to be one of the best trippy horror comics on the market right now, and we&#8217;re only on issue 3. Just&#8230; wow. The body horror from the previous two issues just got ramped up a notch, with some absolutely fantastic Clive Barker-esque sequences when Buddy Baker and Maxine travel to the Red Place to meet the previous Animal Men. Which of course gives us more backstory and a bit of daddy angst for Buddy. Also, can we just say that the villains in this (the Hunters Three) are just about the best things ever? Not giving anything away, but they&#8217;re <em>twisted</em>.</p>
<p>Horror fans, you need to be picking this up if you haven&#8217;t yet. Even if you&#8217;re not a comics person. Definitely my <strong>pick of the week</strong>, could not be happier with it.</p>

<p>Same Bat-time, same Bat-channel, it&#8217;s your weekly round up of some new releases in the world of comics.</p>
<p><strong>Voodoo #2</strong></p>
<p>DC&#8217;s alien stripper superheroine is back for issue #2 and it&#8217;s&#8230; not quite what I was expecting from issue #1.</p>
<p>Now the first issue of <em>Voodoo</em>, I definitely had to agree with <a href="http://www.bleedingcool.com/2011/09/27/early-review-voodoo-1-by-ron-marz-sami-basri-and-sunny-gho/">Rich Johnston on Bleeding Cool</a> on his assessment that a mixed race bisexual female leading a title could have been a great thing if they hadn&#8217;t focused on the stripper part of her character quite so much. For pages and pages of ladies standing around in lingerie, that is. This issue has a lot less gratuitous stripping, a properly credible threat with Major Force and the beginnings of some proper interaction between Voodoo and Agent Fallon.</p>
<p>And the art&#8230;. The art&#8217;s still holding up the very high standard set by issue #1. Absolutely beautiful lines and colouring here, we&#8217;re talking equal to Mike Choi on X-23 in level of amazingness when it comes to posing. Sam Basri, we salute you.</p>
<p>In all, my ruling: this has the potential to be a good book in the next few issues, as long as it doesn&#8217;t fall back on relying too much on the exploitative aspects of Voodoo&#8217;s character like it did in issue #1. I&#8217;ll give #3 a try.</p>
<p>Oh, and there&#8217;s also a Batman Christmas special in the back for whatever reason. Batfans, get on it.</p>
<p><strong>Wolverine and the X-Men #1</strong></p>
<p>Well, after the events of Schism, Wolverine has officially allied with Professor X in the fight to let mutants actually have childhoods. This issue is basically setting the scene for the upcoming new series, starting off with a look into daily mutant school life with a visit from some accreditation inspectors.</p>
<p>At the moment, the Jean Grey School for Higher Learning (yes, Wolvie went there) seems a bit like the spiritual successor of New Mutants. You know, the one with Rockslide and Anole. Who, incidentally, are also in this book, which is going to mean awesome and hilarious brotimes worth tuning in for (I kind of hope they go off and do the superheroic duo fighting crime thing again, please Marvel?).</p>
<p>Kade Kilgore, the new Black King of the Hellfire Club, is the big bad in this new arc, but really: a bratty supergenius 12 year old? Are we trying to make this more of an 80s school hijinks comedy than it already looks like? At least making Kitty Pryde headmistress is kind of in keeping with the perfect Mary-Sue girlfriend beginnings she had.</p>
<p>Honestly, I&#8217;m expecting some pretty good things out of this book. I&#8217;m going to say that between the fun-looking stylized art and the snappy tongue-in-cheek humour, this is definitely worth adding to your pull list if you&#8217;re looking for a bit of lightheartedness. That is, as long as the book keeps up with the pace set by the first issue.</p>
<p><strong>Avengers Academy #20</strong></p>
<p>This is a tie-in with <em>Fear Itself</em>, but it&#8217;s really more about the fallout of Veil and others leaving the intrepid team of damaged teen superheroes and their equally damaged teachers (as if you can&#8217;t tell by the oh-so-dramatic shattered group portrait on the cover). So it&#8217;s exactly what you would expect: a set-up for the upcoming line up change, though we get some solid superheroic moral compass questioning going on in here when the members of the team get to say their goodbyes.</p>
<p>I can&#8217;t say too much without spoiling some of the impact for long-term fans, but seriously, if you&#8217;re wanting to get in on this underrated gem of the Marvel Universe, next issue is going to be where it really kicks off. As long as they keep up the precedent set by the really endearing previous 20 issues, you&#8217;re going to have to start getting this- and I&#8217;m not just saying that as an occasional fan of the Power Pack (because, spoiler, Julie Power is a new recruit).</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;m going to say it up front: <em>MS Paint Adventures</em>, and in particular the current story, <em>Homestuck</em>, is one of the most interesting pieces of entertainment on the entire webnets. Here is the first panel and one of our heroes, one John Egbert, whose birthday is today. The whole adventure is presented in the form of the text-based games of the eighties, in which the character waits for the player to enter a command. You are in a room. What will you do?</p>
<p style="text-align: left"><a href="http://mspaintadventures.com"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2416" src="http://geekoverture.com/files/2011/10/00001.gif" alt="" width="520" height="360" /></a>The story it tells is entirely ridiculous and, like many of the smaller, sillier stories that have appeared on the site in the past, convoluted to the point of parody. In brief, it concerns four thirteen year-olds (much in the vein of the classic RPG <em>EarthBound</em>, to which the title refers), John, Rose, Dave and Jade, who find themselves physically playing a video game that heralds the end of the world.</p>
<p style="text-align: left">Though the plot comes straight out of the nineties-hacker-what-exactly-is-a-computer stable, the characters are friends online and interact in an alarmingly Web 2.0 manner, exchanging youtube videos and in-memes.</p>
<p>The comic is unlike any of the others we&#8217;ve featured on this post in past weeks partly because of the sheer size of the thing &#8211; well over 4000 pages, many of which are a single panel, a few of which are flash movies, musical set-pieces or both &#8211; partly because it uses the internet better than any of its peers.</p>
<p>One of the characters runs an intentionally terrible webcomic which <a href="http://www.mspaintadventures.com/sweetbroandhellajeff/" target="_blank">exists</a> in the real internet and is referenced by the characters; there is a parody version of mspaintadventures.com that exists in the <em>Homestuck</em> world which is infrequently tracked by the cast and often gives hints to future plot points; even the site itself adapts to reflect changes in the story&#8217;s circumstances.</p>
<p>Of course, all of this clever-clever post-whatever nonsense would be for naught if the story lacked heart. The characters are, for the most part, elegantly fleshed-out with their particular fears and motivations, dreams and senses of humour, partly through the mass of dialogue that accompanies the action, partly by having the characters do some good old-fashioned acting.  Many are just (highly effective) comic foils who expand the world of the story, a number of internet-inhabiting archetypes that will seem familiar to fans who know their way around your common-or-garden lolcat.</p>
<p>Hussie keeps an unusually close relationship with his readership, several of whom have become part of the now-considerable art/music team that collaborate in the more spectacular elements of the story. In an interview with <a href="http://nerdgirlpinups.com/article/312" target="_blank">NerdGirlPinups</a> he talked about using all the webby tools at his disposal:</p>
<blockquote><p>That&#8217;s part of the fun. That&#8217;s part of the point of the website. It was always to experiment and try different things with the mediums &#8211; specifically with the web, and everything that&#8217;s possible with the web.</p>
<p>I did a lot of animated GIFs at first, and that turned into a lot of other types of experimentations with Flash and other little things about the way you can tell a story. Mixing text in with images &#8211; it remains experimental.</p></blockquote>
<p>Yesterday he marked the end of the longest act in the story with a flash-animated movie lasting over thirteen minutes and featuring a swathe of critical plot points which had to be hosted externally due to the prohibitive costs of running it on the site&#8217;s own server. The story is now careering into the finishing stretch, and what has always been particularly true of this project is that <em>anything</em> could happen.</p>
<p>Within the bounds of an internet-based comic format.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>And we&#8217;re back for another roundup of what&#8217;s going on with new comic releases this week, this time featuring the redheaded stepchild Robin, Wolverine once again getting his orientalism on and the crossover no one was expecting if they didn&#8217;t already know about the <em>Star Trek</em>/<em>Transformers</em>/<em>GI Joe</em>/<em>Ghostbusters</em>/Zombies crossover from early this year.</p>
<p><strong>Red Hood and the Outlaws #2</strong></p>
<div id="attachment_2146" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/jdhancock/3714748769/"><img class="size-medium wp-image-2146" src="http://geekoverture.com/files/2011/10/spock-kirk-JD-Hancock-300x225.jpg" alt="Image via JD Hancock" width="300" height="225" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Image via JD Hancock</p></div>
<p>After the internet-wide fallout from the first issue of this, were we actually going into issue #2 expecting a change from the rampant T&amp;A and isn&#8217;t-Jason-Todd-just-so-cool-and-dreamy-and-<em>damaged</em> moments. Seriously, he&#8217;s the only character here with a hint of personality beyond &#8220;the crazy sidekick&#8221; or &#8220;the alien chick in the skimpy bikini.&#8221;</p>
<p>It&#8217;s a shame too, because the art&#8217;s actually quite nice. Actually, very nice, especially compared to some of the disappointments that have come out of the New 52. <em>Stormwatch</em>, I&#8217;m looking at you.</p>
<p>So, tune in for the Jason Todd Angst Show if that&#8217;s your thing. It&#8217;s not the best the Bat Family has to offer at the moment, but I could definitely see this appealing to one or two demographics. Still haven&#8217;t decided whether that&#8217;s more horny teenage boys or die-hard Jason fangirls, though.</p>
<p><strong>Wolverine #17</strong></p>
<p>We&#8217;re starting to see the fallout of the Schism event on the X-Men universe here. Apparently Wolverine is going back to Westchester to carry on Professor X&#8217;s work in keeping young mutants out of trouble (and alive most of the time). But it looks like he might still have some unfinished Black Dragon-shaped business to finish up in San Fran&#8230;</p>
<p>And so starts another arc where a short white Canadian dude is head of the Chinatown underworld. It definitely reads like one of those traditional Kung Fu action flicks, complete with all the tropes you know and either love or are slightly uncomfortable with. Plus lots of Wolverine snikting Kung Fu underworld types.</p>
<p>One thing, though: Gorilla Man is the main costar in this, which is pretty awesome if you&#8217;re missing him like hell from the <em>Agents of Atlas</em> days. If you haven&#8217;t read the entire <em>Atlas</em> run, go and track down a trade now, because it was probably one of the most underrated series of the past ten years at least.</p>
<p>In all, it looks like this title might finally be picking up from a shaky start, though that all depends on whether you&#8217;re into paint-by-numbers Kung Fu action or not. And hey, it&#8217;s a valid genre.</p>
<p><strong>Star Trek/Legion of Superheroes #1</strong></p>
<p>IDW and DC are teaming up in this really really retro crossover between everyone&#8217;s favourite Enterprise crew with a Shatner on it and everyone&#8217;s favourite superteam going with -boy, -girl, -lad and -lass naming conventions.</p>
<p><strong>*SPOILER*</strong> They&#8217;re starting off with the traditional parallel universe setup. But you know what? It works. After all, Trek has a time-honoured tradition of throwing a parallel universe into the mix, so I could almost see it being a real episode.</p>
<p>In all, maybe not the most inventive crossover the comics industry has ever pulled off, but we&#8217;re still looking at a pretty solid trad scifi caper here, at least from what can be seen in a first issue. The next issue is going to be the main test of that when both teams meet face to face. As for art, it&#8217;s servicable enough (though some reaction faces are probably more hilariously bug-eyed than they&#8217;re aiming for, particularly with the Star Trek pages). I&#8217;m definitely following the next five.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The greasy, generalisation-generating folks forming the rank and file of webcomics are subject to most of the negative effects of a publication process with no editors and no pressure to produce income. The writing is often uninspired and derivative, the art half-finished and (shudder) copy-pasted.</p>
<p>The two-guys-playing-video-games format became so saturated it launched a pretty involved strip <a href="http://www.mspaintadventures.com/sweetbroandhellajeff/" target="_blank">parodying</a> it. You may have even come across the meme on your travels.</p>
<p><em>Dinosaur Comics</em> is a beautiful little nugget of a thing that should not work. The strip has featured the exact same art for the past eight years, with one strip every weekday (or damned close to it). It stars three dinosaurs, T-Rex, Dromiceiomimus and Utahraptor, who over the years have developed their own personalities and dynamics and form the intricately-meshing cogs of an idea-producing <em>machine</em>. T-Rex is a lot like Calvin of <em>Calvin and Hobbes</em> fame, enthusiastic and self-involved but also unusually aware of his own situation, surprisingly well-informed about an eclectic set of interests and deeply concerned with the improvement of the general good. Also somewhat goofy.</p>
<div id="attachment_2136" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 525px"><a href="http://geekoverture.com/files/2011/10/comic2-1557.png"><img class="size-full wp-image-2136 " src="http://geekoverture.com/files/2011/10/comic2-1557.png" alt="" width="515" height="350" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Image via Dinosaur Comics</p></div>
<p>The others are largely defined by the positions in which they appear in the comic, in the same panels every day: Dromiceiomimus in panel three and Utahraptor in panels four and five. To show off my academic cred it gives each comic the potential to act as a mini-essay, with the central thought meeting (at least) two dissenting ideas before a final solo panel for summation. Back in the real world it allows a degree of exploratory freedom that <a href="http://www.qwantz.com/index.php?comic=1335" target="_blank">sometimes</a> works perfectly against the artwork to make something emotionally striking, and <a href="http://www.qwantz.com/index.php?comic=440" target="_blank">often</a> something ticklingly dumb.</p>
<p>As comics go, it&#8217;s a cool one to have on the bookmarks bar because of its insane number of updates (it notched its <a href="http://www.qwantz.com/index.php?comic=2000" target="_blank">two-thousandth installment</a> earlier this year), and the fact it takes a maximum of one minute to read the thing. It&#8217;s a little zen playground of philosophising dinosaurs and a small supporting cast including God (<strong>BOLD CAPS</strong> from above) and Satan (<strong>RED CAPS</strong> from below). The random comic button is simply the best random comic button there is. Hit it to start adventures!</p>
<p><em>Have you read Dinosaur Comics before? Have you now? Let us know in the comments.</em></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The sixth annual New York Comic Con is already well on its way to breaking the 100,000 mark and setting a new record for attendees, so we thought &#8220;hey! that&#8217;s a bandwagon needs some hopping!&#8221; Today we vicariously talk about the things that had we a cape and a gritty origin story we would be going to see!</p>

<p>In this early preview of The Adventures of Old Ezio, he blows up a lighthouse using his armcannon, slides down a zipline and uses a flamethrower to explode a galley. So the armblades are pretty much Batman&#8217;s utility belt and the period setting (1511) cheerfully ignored. What we do have is Ezio walking around Istanbul (not Constantinople) like the world&#8217;s only badass in a super-discreet red-and-black outfit. The multiplayer game is available to play at 2pm on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.</p>

<p>There was unrest among the common folk, discord throughout the land. Mutterings were abroad on the wings of the birds and in the rustle of leaves on the trees. Merchants from distant lands told tales of his prophecies, and the age-wearied priests surpressed the worship of his disciples to no avail. His name is Cage, and he is here to save us. From 4-5pm on Saturday.</p>
<p>Anyway, this is happening. What is also happening is the second yearly <a href="http://www.lovesanimation.com/" target="_blank">Scotland Loves Anime</a> festival at Edinburgh&#8217;s Cameo cinema! So if you <em>do</em> happen to be stuck here today, that&#8217;s also awesome.</p>
<p><strong>Walking Dead Series 2</strong></p>

<p>One of the better short-format tv shows of last here, we&#8217;re pretty psyched for it coming back around for another swipe at the undead. It captured so much of the comics in the little details and some pretty spot-on casting (flashbacks to <em>Teachers</em> and <em>This Life</em> notwithstanding) made it one of the pleasanter adaptations. We are proud as punch.</p>

<p>That link will whisk you away to a world of nerds dancing up a storm. Can you survive? As Tony Stark and Bruce Wayne have eloquently proved, money is the <a href="http://d24w6bsrhbeh9d.cloudfront.net/photo/341253_700b.jpg" target="_blank">greatest superpower</a> so while not everyone can go <a href="http://www.britishairways.com/travel/flights-to-new-york/public/en_gb" target="_blank">fly to New York Comic Con</a> rest assured that we at GeekOverture will have our faces pressed up against the glass like homeless street urchins supping a thin gruel made of <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aeXIoBnu2MU" target="_blank">leftover Nic Cage movies</a>.</p>
