    He’s one of the biggest kids in the comics industry. Getting to play with characters like Batman, Superboy, the Legion of Super-Heroes and the Teen Titans will do that to a person. Now writer J. Torres (Batman: The Brave and the Bold for DC Comics and [...]

    It’s October. That means movie theaters are overflowing with blood and sharp objects, zombies are taking over shopping malls, and the total number of Kit-Kats you can cram into your mouth at once is what’s truly frightening. Whether it’s the spookiness already in the air or the recent release of [...]

  • Kids Comics Go BOOM!

    Geekdad

    Growing up in the ’80s, I definitely remember the big change in the industry. There were subtle hints here and there, and then Frank Miller’s The Dark Knight Returns and Alan Moore’s Watchmen came out, completely changing the comics landscape. Heroes became grittier. Villains got more [...]

    Superheroes and the internet are joining forces for some pretty impressive things these days. No, I’m not talking about digital comics. This GeekDad’s too old-fashioned to really enjoy those. I’ll take a book I can hold in my hands over some downloadable/viewable version any day. What I’m referring to is [...]

    It’s that time of year again. The sun is shining. The birds are singing. And flocks of kids wearing Punisher T-shirts while lugging stacks of comic-filled white boxes behind them are gathering en masse. Convention season is officially in full swing and the high point of it all is just [...]

  • Website Spotlight: MarvelKids.com

    Geekdad

    marvkids2_logo

    Sure there are countless websites out there for comic fans, but how many are geared towards the younger fanboy or fangirl? I’m talking about those kids who aren’t in their teens yet. Even ones that are just out of the toddler stage, or in early grades [...]

    It all started as a simple car ride. Vowing to never have to hear my kids say, “Are we there yet?”, I always do my best to keep them entertained in the car. (Okay, fine. The DVD player helps a [...]

    This post isn’t a review. It’s not a preview. Nor is it any sort of “How To Build Your Very Own Avengers Mansion Out of Marshmallows and Toothpicks” article. Nope. Instead, it’s a post about dedication, desperation and… well… the potty.

    I think most GeekDads (and GeekMoms, and [...]
