Star Wars finds a home on Disney XD!!
May 22nd
Lucasfilm announced yesterday that production has begun on the next Star Wars animated series, titled Star Wars Rebels, and will be set between Episodes III and IV.

Dynamite Comics Go Digital With Dark Horse For Dark Horse Digital’s Second Anniversary
Apr 25th

But as many in the industry know, Comixology takes a pretty hefty percent of sales, and it looks like this deal More >

We at Speak Geeky To Me decided to skip the traditional trickery played out on this fun day here in 2013. Sure, we thought about informing you that Superman: Red Son was being made into DC’s next live action movie or that Angelina Jolie had signed on to play Grace in Aspen MLT’s upcoming Soulfire film. We considered posting about Orson Scott Card being hired at Marvel to write an on-going series involving a gay Hyperion or even mentioning George Lucas’ agreement with Bob Iger to make Star Wars Land in Des Moines, Iowa. But in the end, we just More >

Jan 11th
It should be no surprise that this week’s Star Wars #1 has already sold out. The critically acclaimed and highly anticipated comic, written by Brian Wood with art by Carlos D’Anda, was an impressive book with a huge buzz and low cost, so fans flocked to comic stores and retailers could not have ordered enough. This will likely also end up being par for course, as this hot series also features covers by the legendary Alex Ross.
