The Fellowship is pleased to present our discussion on how we read comics. We're looking at it in terms of physical spaces and rituals/habits surrounding our favorite pastime. And no promises, but we might just wander off topic a bit. And as always, our picks of the week.

 

What we're up to this week:

Mikey's Big Bag o' NothingĀ® - kind of under the weather this week

Out at the racetrack (Texas Motor Speedway) having a blast playing with actual race cars

The Towering Inferno - doesn't age well, especially in terms of storytelling

The Complete Jim Starlin Warlock trade - fun to check out the beginnings of Marvel's space opera stories

As noted, if anyone from Frito-Lay can hook us up with a sponsorship or "review samples" we'd be happy to oblige :-)

The Fellowship is pleased to present our discussion on the career and the impact of Adam West to the geek community.

What we're up to this week:

I Am Your Father - documentary about Dave Prowse and his uncomfortable relationship with Star Wars (a good if sad watch)

Why Horror? - Showtime documentary about the phenomenon of horror media (an interesting look at horror)

RPGs on Facebook groups - the modern version of message boards and/or play by mail (with a quick mention of Roll20)
