Music geeks ahoy! I don’t care if you don’t think you’re into Hip Hop, check this series out. Shad Kabango is a phenomenal interviewer, and the subject matter is fascinating.

I discovered KJ Charles because of this article on Tor.com. In it, the author Marina Berlin asks why Charles’s works are labeled Romance, not the SF/F they obviously are. Because they have gay relationships in them, and there is still a sizable portion of cis, het, white, male SF/F fans who are homophobic. Seriously, if… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #516 – Review: The Secret Casebook of Simon Feximal by KJ Charles
First, the Geek Husband What Rules is recovering from his emergency tooth extraction last week, and tomorrow he goes in to check and see how it’s healing. I knew it was bad when he bypassed cranky straight into pathetic. In 24 years of marriage I have only seen that once before. So it was a… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #515 – A General State of the Geek Update
Ok, I was going to do this last week, but then the Arisia business happened, and I wanted to talk about that. I think I’ve probably mentioned that I spent a lot of time escaping from reality in books as a child and adolescent. Because of that, I have a tendency to get really wrapped… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #507 – I Might get a Little Too Attached to Fictional Characters
So, once again dudes are proving themselves the weaker sex by coming down with a case of vapors over realistic depictions of male genitalia in comics.

The wang in question… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #504 – Of Batwang and the Male Gaze
I have been watching horror movies since I was probably younger than was strictly wise, I’m sure. And I haven’t taken enough time to watch there recent ones, so this weekend I sat down to watch The Conjuring. This was little weird for me. I grew up reading the books of Ed and Loraine Warren.… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #503 – Review: The Conjuring
Ok, I admit to being a sucker for just about anything related to the old Harvey comics. Harvey Street Kids is a cartoon based around Little Lotta, Lil’ Audrey and Dot, who they’ve drawn as black, of which I highly approve. It’s a little young, but super cute. If you have younger kids, I’m pretty… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #502 – Harvey Street Kids
The other night the Geek Husband What Rules, Martian and myself were sitting at the dining room table, when I saw a post with excerpts from Zeus Grants Stupid Wishes. Holy shit, you guys! I have not laughed so hard in aeons. Then immediately bought it. Ok, now, it does help to have a working… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #499 – Review: Zeus Grants Stupid Wishes by Cory O’Brien
Ok, first. This is not a kid friendly comic for all that the narrator is Karen Reyes, a 10 year old girl who loves monster movies and sees herself as a monster. My Favorite Thing is Monsters by Emil Ferris is a sizable graphic novel at around 400 pages. It’s drawn as though on notebook… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #498 – Review: My Favorite Thing is Monsters by Emil Ferris
Ok, I have been meaning to review this for awhile. I love so many things about this comic, at least the volumes collected in the first graphic novel. Lunella Lafayette is smart. Smarter than Amadeus Cho, Tony Stark, and many other folks. She also carries the gene that can be activated by the terragen mists,… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #497 – Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur
