An Indepth Look At Guillem March’s Superman/Wonder Woman #3 Variant
Nov 30th
The variant cover to DC comic’s Superman/Wonder Woman has caused quite a stir online and across social media this past week. Even though the issue doesn’t hit stores for another two weeks, viewers of the cover online have brought Guillem March’s 1:25 ratio variant a lot of attention. The two camps that argue this cover is deserving of controversy complain that it is either too sexual or seem to have a problem with how Wonder Woman’s legs are depicted. While the latter certainly seems to be a matter of perspective based upon how the image was cropped by the artist, More >

Help Bring Alyss Home & Continue The Looking Glass Wars
Nov 26th
It has been almost 10 years since the talented writer, Frank Beddor, introduced fans to Alyss Heart and The Looking Glass Wars. A trilogy of novels that told the “true tale” of Wonderland, The Looking Glass Wars captured the imaginations of fans across the world with its brilliant new take on the Lewis Carroll classics. But Beddor pushed it further by entering the realm of sequential art with his Wonderland character, Hatter Madigan, a bodyguard of Alyss’ who was on a mission in our world to track down Wonderland’s lost princess. The comic series that accompanied the trilogy of prose More >
Long Beach Comic Con’s Independent Comics In 15 Seconds
Nov 25th
This weekend Speak Geeky To Me officially joined the Instagram using world with our very own Instagram account. We also attended the 5th annual Long Beach Comic Con and thought we’d commemorate the two occasions by trying something new. Using the video sharing features of Instagram, we spoke with several amazing independent comic creators about their awesome independent comics. But considering Instagram videos are so short, we only had 15 seconds for them to describe their comics and why you should check them out. So we call this new feature “In 15 Seconds”, and hope to do it at many More >

Ed Brubaker’s Sleeper Coming To The Big Screen
Nov 21st
Perhaps one of the best Wildstorm comic series ever, Ed Brubaker’s Sleeper is making its way to the big screen. Today it was announced that Warner Bros. is beginning work on a Sleeper movie with producers Ben Affleck, Matt Damon, and Jennifer Todd. This would be the first Wildstorm film to make it to movie theaters if it accomplishes that goal, with the only previous one (the animated Gen13 movie) never reaching theatrical or official release. But as Wildstorm has now been shut down and absorbed into DC Entertainment, many people will oddly be referring to this as a Vertigo More >
A First Look At Harley Quinn #1
Nov 21st
After yesterdays release of the spectacular Harley Quinn #0 from Jimmy Palmiotti, Amanda Conner, and a collection of some of comic’s top artists, today we get our first good look at the series actual first issue. As I pointed out in a review earlier this week, the zero issue played more as an art book and goofy glance at the personality of ex-doctor Harleen Quinzel, with a large amount of breaking the fourth wall. The end of the zero issue promised the on-going series wouldn’t be doing this, but from the artwork below we can see that some parts of More >
From Harley Quinn To Stormwatch; DC Contest Winner: Jeremy P. Roberts
Nov 20th
Up until Tuesday there was still some question as to who won DC’s Harley Quinn #0 talent contest, which DC used to find a new artist to draw a single page for this week’s Harley Quinn #0. As many of you likely remember, the contest stirred up quite a controversy, but did get a large number of very decent (and often eerily similar) submissions. The winner ended up being a man by the name of Jeremy Roberts, which is a name some might have seen before in the comic book industry. It wasn’t until today however that we were able More >
Polar: Came From the Cold Preview
Nov 20th
Ripped out of retirement by an assassination attempt, the world’s most deadly spy—Black Kaiser—is on a collision course with a stab-happy torture expert and a seductive but deadly redhead. His mission only ends if he dies or kills everyone out to get him, and he’s not in the habit of dying. This is the premise of Polar, a stunning online spy comic in noir fashion by creator Victor Santos (The Mice Templar, Filthy Rich). The series started in January of 2012 at the Polar Comic website and is currently wrapping up it’s second chapter of season 2. But if you’re not More >
