San Diego Comic-Con 2015 Wishlist

SDCC 2015 begins today, here’s some things that we hope to see at this year’s event.

Top o’ the Lot: Dinosaur Riding

From time to time Outright Geekery brings you a slanted and biased opinion on some trivially specific topic of geekery. We call it Outright Geekery’s Top o’ the Lot. Dinosaurs aren’t just col right now because of the blockbuster movie Jurassic World. Dinosaurs have ALWAYS been cool! When I was a kid dinos were a really big deal, and although the interest in Terrible Lizards waxes and wanes the ancient animals are always good fodder for fun story telling. And the only thing cooler than simply having a dinosaur in a story is when a character rides one into battle. So, without further ado, we touch on the brand  new, go way back in time to the obscure, and give credit to the classics in Outright Geekery’s Top o’ the Lot: Dinosaur Riding.

The CBI Retro-Review: Wonder Woman #304

Brought to you by The Comic Book Illuminati, OutrightGeekery goes back in time with a retro-review.

“Polaris means peril!”

Wonder Woman must make some choices in this issue. First she has to decide who to help first, save her beloved Colonel Steve Trevor, or Major Keith Griggs. Then she has to decide whether or not to enlist the help of Green Lantern when Dr. Polaris throws the gauntlet down by threatening to magnetically turn the Earth sideways off it axis.

Review: Unity #20

A lot of things have come to light in this issue. The War-Monger is a @$$! Causing wars and stuff! I believe we have found our “Savage”. She, in my opinion, the female version of Harada. She’s been everywhere but nowhere. Within these last few issues, she’s become one of my favorite bad guys in comics.

Review: We Stand on Guard #1

Writer: Brian K. Vaughan
Artist/Cover: Steve Skroce

‘O, Canada!’

Brian K. Vaughan is a living legend among comic book writers. The list of his work at the Big 2 publishers is renowned as quintessential character crafting – Runaways, Dr. Strange: The Oath, and The Hood: Blood from Stones are stories as important to their cast as any, and it’s the same with his work at DC on titles like Young Justice and Swamp Thing. The writer known simply as BKV, however, is truly known for his work on more independent-esque comics like The Escapists, Pride of Baghdad, Y the Last Man, Ex Machina, and, of course, SAGA. Well, Vaughan has delivered the quality comic consumables we’ve come accustomed to seeing from the author with his latest offering, We Stand On Guard, which is as equally thought-provoking as it is entertaining.
