Recently Read: Dungeon Quest: Book One, by Joe Daly

I’m a big RPG nerd (surprise!)  I’ve always loved RPGs in any form:  Tabletop D&D (nerd wife actually has a D&D tattoo, lol – ok, it’s supposed to be my initials PD, but it looks kinda like DD), console RPGs (Japanese, western, strategy), MMORPG (I’ve played most of them).  There’s something about the questing and [...]

Recently Read: “Marked!” by Bob Bristow, or Rape and the Virgin Male

“He’d made one mistake – a big one – and it involved a woman  . . .” So reads the teaser text on “Marked!”, a 1961 Dell First Edition by Bob Bristow.  I read this on my recent business trip while the plane was taxiing and landing and I couldn’t use my Kindle (which is [...]

I’ll Be Back … and Mating AT-ATs

Been too long since my last post, but I’ll be working on this thing again soon with some comments on a vintage crime paperback I recently finished and why it made me uncomfortable, my thoughts on the immensely popular Girl with the Dragon Tattoo by Stieg Larsson which I finally read now that the 3rd [...]

Weregeek: I was promised geeks in costumes!

Ok, so, I’ve been asked to give MY perspective on living with a geek. Haha, love it! Last Saturday, I attended my first Free Comic Book Day. Usually, Pete spares me (out of concern for me, or humiliation on his part?) and goes on his own. This year, I was invited to come along. I [...]

New Adds: Remender & Talbot

New shipment at the door this afternoon.   I routinely check tfaw.com‘s Nick & Dent section for stuff I don’t have.  The idea is that these are in someway damaged so they’re 50% off.  Normally, though, I can’t even figure out why it’s discounted. This order is especially satisfying since I haven’t read any of this [...]

Enter the WereGeek

Coming soon.  By day she is a personal trainer and fitness enthusiast.  But when the night is right a transformation begins.  Until … with little warning (except for the fact she’s a chubby chaser) … she becomes the WereGeek! That’s right, my much less geeky wife is going to begin posting her honest thoughts on [...]

Recently Read: Shadow of the Wind

This is probably my favorite novel of all time.  I mean this without a hint of hyperbole.  It’s been so long since I’ve contemplated a statement like this that I am nervous about expressing it, but I believe it is true. Don’t even read this review just go out and get this book.  Don’t wait [...]

Sketch Gallery #3

Had these pieces for a little while but just found the scans from the artists so wanted to post them here.  I really love that Cloak and Dagger piece by Martheus Wade.  The Thor by Rahsan Ekedal is even more amazing in person, watch for this guy to blow up soon.  Finally, a Kitty Pryde [...]
