By: Meg Humphrey I loved Ant-Man all the way down to its teeny tiny pieces. I’ve been seeing things like “Ant-Man is Phase 2’s Hulk” and yes, it did pull in smaller box office numbers than more recent Marvel movies, and yes, the villain is basically an evil version of Ant-Man, but honestly I think […]

By: TCO On June 6th, fan across the world coordinated a huge flash mob sending a simple message: We Want Widow. Since the success of the Avengers, fans have noticed a distinct lack of Black Widow merchandise. (There is even a Tumblr addressing the sheer volume of missing Black Widow merch.) One geek blogger, Kristin Rielly, decided that it was time […]

Big Heartwarming 6
posted by tspofnutmeg
By: Meg Humphrey Big Hero 6 has been overlooked and underhyped. There are no princesses or power ballads, but it’s the best animated movie in several years and let me tell you why. Big Hero 6 is diverse. The main characters are a mix of ethnicities living in the city of San Fransokyo. In […]

Nerdtastic Renaissance Art
posted by terraolsen
By: TCO These breathtaking photos depicting superheroes and Star Wars characters from the Renaissance period are the brainchild of French photographer Sacha Goldberger. The exhibit, titled “Super Flemings,” aims to appropriate the American idols by creating a tie to European culture and history. Goldberger’s creation are simply breathe-taking, for nerds and non-nerds alike. The details, from the costuming […]

By: Meg Humphrey Like much of the nerd community, I was eagerly awaiting Guardians of the Galaxy. I even stayed up late to see a Thursday night showing (I am usually promptly in bed by 10:00pm). Thankfully the movie delivered beautifully and was completely worth the loss of sleep the next day! This […]

Marvel: Champion of Change
posted by terraolsen
By: Terra Clarke Olsen I’ve been a frustrated lady geek the past few weeks. From women being barred from competing in Hearthstone to the artist of Wonder Woman declaring he doesn’t want her to be a feminist, it’s been a harsh reminder that the geek culture has a long way to go.

By: Terra Clarke Olsen Vans recently released an amazing Star Wars line of shoes, backpacks, and hats. I’ve never owned a pair of Vans before, but that’s about to change because I essentially want it all. Look at this amazing flower print, subtly featuring Yoda. A thing of beauty, really. Or how about these splendid Stormtrooper bandana prints. Black […]

The Winter Soldier (2)
posted by terraolsen
By: Terra Clarke Olsen Leaving the theatre after seeing Captain America: The Winter Soldier, I was high and excited. I would have described the movie in one word: AWESOME. No really, I left the theatre feeling inspired and awe struck. I knew it was going to be good, but I didn’t realize it was going […]

The Winter Soldier
posted by terraolsen
By: Meg Humphrey I am a huge Captain America fangirl. Justice, righteousness, and unwavering moral compasses are some of my absolutely favorite things. Now, I admit that it was The First Avenger that brought me into the fandom (and don’t anyone dare say that I’m not a “real fan” because of it), but since then […]

The Face Behind the Mask: Marvel’s Miles Morales By: Terra Clarke Olsen When you think of a superhero, who do you think of? I’m guess that one of these characters (if not all) came to your mind: Batman, Superman, Captain America, Iron Man, Thor, Spider-Man, Wonder Woman, and Wolverine. These characters are some of the most […]

Nerd Encounters of the Surprise Kind
posted by terraolsen
Nerd Encounters of the Surprise Kind By: Meg Humphrey For me, the best thing about being part of the nerd/geek/whatever community is sharing what you love with other people. It’s why I staff and attend cons. It’s why I make clothes for others to buy. It’s why I write for this Blog. My boyfriend has […]
