Aside from another bunch of trailers we complain about public polls to find the “best” anime. Our featured anime are Punch Line and Transformers: The Movie (the original, not the Michael Bay one – and before you ask, yes, it is an anime). Tune in to The Geek Show Podcast […]

4-Panel 77 – Going Kamandi
Comics have become over-saturated with, well, comics. While we try to work out that statement, Rob Liefeld’s Extreme Universe comics may also be heading to the big screen.
