From Marvel to DC, Geeks explores the popular and independant comic titles in the geek universe.

The Department of Truth: The Most Important Comic of 2020
The Department of Truth is a truly fascinating piece of sequential art and something that I haven't been able to stop thinking about since I read the first two issues. Today, misinformation regularly runs rampant across social media, giving birth to a plethora of new conspiracy theories for people to consume; an interesting and often amusing byproduct of the Trump/Fake-New era. But what if these conspiracy theories had the ability to take on a life of their own if enough people believed them? This is the concept this book sets out to explore.

The Terror and Allure of Jack Kirby's Darkseid
For the early decades of the American comic book industry, its character motivations were simple. There was good and there was evil, and evil would always be vanquished by good in the end. And while the nature of both good and evil would be explored with some characters through the silver age, it was with the creation of the New God Darkseid from Jack Kirby's line of the 'Fourth World' at DC that the king of comics would highlight a different kind of evil that transcended these concepts.

How Batman: The Animated Series Inspired Me
I feel pretty comfortable saying that everyone on the planet Earth knows who Batman is and the basics of his life story. Rich kid, parents killed in front of him in an alley, grows up training all his life to be the ultimate badass, dons a suit of high-tech armored pajamas, and punches out his issues in the face every night. Mostly does good for the world as a whole. I was (and still am, to an arguably lesser degree) obsessed with this show and all its follow up iterations. It inspired my life I think in many ways, but for this essay I’ll cover the top three. My sense of rightness and justice, my love of science, and my spirit of adventure.

Boba Fett
Jango surely had ties with the Mandalorians whether he considered himself one or not. This trait will surely be fleshed out by his son, Boba Fett in the coming episodes of the Mandalorian.

Justice for the Justice League
In this article we’re going to be learning about a side of the DC universe that most movie watchers never touch. I understand that many of you are probably at the end of what to binge watch with the difficult times keeping many people at home. But in these troubled times, a little escapism can go a long way. So, if you need a break or even need regain a little faith in the promise of what America was supposed to be, these animated titles from warner brothers are absolutely worth a look.

The Witch and the Beast by Kousuke Satake - Review
I’ve heard many people discredit comics, graphic novels, and manga, saying that they are not a true literary medium; that they are subpar and childish, undeserving of recognition.

Support Your Local Comic Shop
There's a little store tucked in between a Subways and a music shop. It's called Coliseum of Comics, and it's my favorite comic book store. That I've only been to two in total is of no consequence. They have a couple of other sites in Florida, and a pretty nice following on social media. I made my first visit there last year, bored with the slim pickings at the bookstore and intrigued at what lay beyond the dominating worlds of Marvel and DC.

Enter The World Of JOjo's Bizarre Adventure
There are a lot of popular manga and anime series out there. One of the most popular but not too mainstream is JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure. The title alone probably caught your eye because of how bizarre it sounded. The manga was first released back in 1987 and the anime was released back in 2012 and is currently awaiting the next adaptation. To summarize the entire series, it is a bit of a bizarre series that has hits highs and some lows. One of the popular terms is “Is that a JoJo reference?” That’s because the series has been referenced in other series. Here is what you can expect when you dive into the world of jjba.

Learn How to Read Manga online for entertainment
If you are interested in reading Japanese comics, then one of the best ways to learn how to read Japanese comics is to actually watch the original Japanese through Mangastream. Some may think that watching a video of the original Japanese comic is not going to help them in the long run. However, with the technology today, it is possible to view these videos in a streaming format.

Did the Joker Die in Suicide Squad 2?
The new take on Joker by David Ayer has made its marks on the people (positively or negatively, that doesn’t matter). The superhero movie that portrayed a group of supervillains from the DC World as heroes is all-set to release the sequel, and surprise, surprise — David Ayer won’t be a part of the team! He passed-on the sequel and shifted towards Gotham City Sirens, which also includes Harley Quinn, but we are not going to talk about it. The news is that there will be no Jared Leto and no David Ayer!
