Sunday Links for February 5th

Happy Superbowl Sunday!  Whether you are rooting for the Patriots or the Giants (GO BIG BLUE!!!), I hope you have a fun day!  If you could care less about the Superbowl, this is for you....

This brilliance is from The Oatmeal.
If you don't read this web comic, you need to.

In other, more geek-related news this week:

It was announced that the popular studio Pizza Island ended this week.  The studio, filled with indie female comic creators, let their lease lapse since so many of them were moving onto new things.  Pizza Island will always be remembered as an awesomely creative space.

The Watchmen prequels were officially announced this week, to much dismay by readers.  You can't go onto almost any site without complaints.  Still, not all prequels turn out bad....

Non-Player, one of the biggest premieres of 2011, is being made into a movie!  Surprising, since we haven't even gotten issue 2.  I guess that means the script going forward is amazingly good.

In the you-read-my-mind news this week, Alamo Drafthouse is releasing Princess Bride branded wine! A bottle of the As You Wish White is a huge want for Valentine's Day for your hunny.

Until next week......

Sunday Links for September 25

My apologies that Sunday Links is so late but I couldn't get my computer to turn on.....which really sucks. Anyway, here is some of the big news of the week!

New York Comic Con released their programming this week, to my dismay. The Walking Dead panel is at the same time as The Avengers panel! The Felicia Day panel is the same time as the Husbands/Jane Espenson panel! Too much awesome to pick between!!!! Oh, the humanity!

Wizard heartthrob Daniel Radcliffe may have put his foot in his mouth this week, with the release of some behind the scenes footage. In it, he insinuates that Harry Potter is superior to Star Wars and Star Trek because it started as literature and grew to the big screen. I kinda get what he is saying but I am not sure I agree.

Another icon bits the dust with the announcement of the death of Optimus Prime. This one caught me by surprise.

In case you were worried, we found Waldo! He has been to quite a few odd places...the last pic of Waldo is definitely a split between funny and NSFW.

Until next week....

Sunday Links

Microsoft Paint is fun!

We are starting a new segment at [insertgeekhere] called Sunday Links. Each week, I'll provide you with some of the best stuff I have found on the web. A lot of these links are things that we have posted on our Facebook or Twitter pages, so if you want a sneak peek, go follow us there!

If you found something you want us to feature, email us at insertgeekhere@gmail.com.

This week's had two huge comic news stories:

First off was the announcement that Wizard Magazine was no more. They closed their doors on their print magazine while they get ready to move to an digital format. Wizard seems to be concentrating completely on their convention circuit at this time. With the announcement came posts about sadness, remembering all the people that got their start at Wizard and some juicy gossip about the closing.

Next big story for the week was the highly talked about death of a member of the Fantastic Four! We covered it in full, including an obituary and the review of Fantastic Four #587. iFanboy also had a great article about how the media spoiled it for the world.

MTV Geek brought me some laughs this week with their very naughty article,

10 Comic Book Characters Who Aren't Actually Wearing Any Clothes.

Geek to Me featured Geek∙Lee∙Tist∙ on his blog, to talk about how cliquey the geek community has gotten. It is a truly powerful article that deserves attention from all of us.

DC announced their upcoming, rock the universe event, Flashpoint. It will be comprised of a lot of one-shots and minis over the entire universe but will be centered on the character, The Flash. The Beat has a great write up about the few details released here.

To end things on a fun note,@SyFy released this Sharktopus plushie pic on twitter in anticipation of the dvd release. While I haven't seen the film yet, I want one!

See you next week!
