Dec 6th
If you had the power to change history, would you?
It’s a very interesting question explored in an upcoming graphic novel called The Legend of Novo, currently being funded via Kickstarter. This cute and educational looking series tells the tale of Ashley, a New York student, selected to be part of a secret program to use the power of time travel to learn from humanity’s mistakes of the past. Before her first journey through time, she is sternly warned by Semita, head of the TOA (Time Observers Agency) that she is only to observe the events of the past and is 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 >

Apr 5th
While at this year’s WonderCon we had the pleasure of hearing a rather incredible story about a man, taken in his prime, that was full of creativity and some incredible people trying to make his final wish come true. Jason Coffee was a young writer and creator who had been serving his time in Hollywood, working up the creative ladder. Having worked as an assistant on many Sci-Fi TV series, like Babylon 5 and Roswell, Jason evaluated scripts for the likes of James Cameron and even wrote an episode of the documentary series, The Universe. Unfortunately, despite Jason’s great creative talent More >

Zombicide Season 2: Prison Outbreak and Toxic City Expansion
Feb 9th
Guillotine Games has been revealing spoilers for their new expansion coming out for Zombicide on their facebook page. But if you managed to get the game through KickStarter last year, or have fulfilled your duty as a gamer and made sure to pick it up in stores, I see no reason why everyone won’t be jumping with excitement about information released for spoiler #10. Tabletop Gaming New did an interview about the future of the game, and Wow, does it look grim.
