Superman is no longer American; renounces citizenship
In Action Comics No. 900 Superman will renounce his US citizenship. I know this will cause debate. Geek Native has already seen comments on some of the Wonder Woman costume debate that complain about the “removal” of America from superheroes. Geek Native reader Fringe330 wrote: “What is it with ppl trying to take America out […]

It’s been a while since we looked Project London but it’s worth keeping this indie film on your radar.

WTF: Spider-Man #666 cover art
The cover to the Amazing Spider-Man issue #666 is an odd one. Spider-Statue-of-Liberty anyone? Issue #666 is the prelude to a new ‘event’ from Dan Slott and Humberto Ramos. The cover is by Mike Del Mundo. Here’s what Marvel Senior Editor Stephen Wacker said in a recent blog post; “Back when Slott launched Spider-Man into the […]

Dr Grordborts animation
This animation from Weta New Zealand caught my eye. Steampunk wars on Vensus where we seem to have mankind, lead by Lord Cockswain, against those churlish savages the native Venusians. I’d never encountered Greg Broadmore’s Doctor Grordbort before so I investigated a bit more. The website is pretty but odd – “What does it do?” […]
Footprints #1 review
I can honestly say that Footprints is the first Cryptozoological noir comic I’ve read and tried to review.

127 Seconds – Marvel parodies Oscar hopeful 127 Hours
Have you seen Danny Boyle‘s 127 Hours? I haven’t. Not my cup of tea. Don’t need to see James Franco suffer. The fact that the flick is up for an Oscar or so means it is noteworthy though – and comic powerhouse Marvel have noticed. Marvel does 127 Hours? Surely not. Correct. Instead we’ve got […]
