WonderCon ’13: Managing Minds – An Interview With Matt Kindt
Apr 10th
At WonderCon Anaheim, this past Easter weekend, Dark Horse’s Mind MGMT was one of the more buzzed about books. With the recent announcement that acclaimed director, Ridley Scott, was producing the story for a theatrical release through Twentieth Century Fox the already popular title was practically in the spotlight. I had the pleasure of sitting down with the creator of the Dark Horse original series Mind MGMT, Matt Kindt, and ask him some questions about his highly discussed title.

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.

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 >
The Best April Fooling of 2013
Apr 1st
We at Speak Geeky To Me decided to skip the traditional trickery played out on this fun day here in 2013.

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 >
