Tonight on GeekNights, rather than talking about traditional webcomics, we consider the ones we stumble upon ad hoc in our social media feeds. Things like False Knees or webcomicname. Hit up the GeekNights Forum to see the list, and also to share the ones we forgot to mention!

In the news, Conan the Barbarian is now an Avenger, returned to Marvel, fought Wolverine that one time, and is available again! Also, watch out for these so-called "Vic" fans: they're basically gomergate all over again. We hope to see you at both Zenkaikon and PAX East!

Things of the Day


Each week, Rym and Scott of The Front Row Crew settle in for GeekNights Wednesdays: Anime Manga Comics, a focused conversation that digs into the stories and artistry shaping their favorite corners of pop culture. This isn't a surface-level news recap, but a deep dive driven by genuine fandom and critical perspective. You'll hear them dissect the latest chapters of a compelling manga, unpack the themes of a recent anime series, or explore the narrative craft in both mainstream and indie comics. The discussion naturally expands to include related films from Asia and the unique, often chaotic, experiences of anime conventions. The tone is conversational and insightful, blending informed analysis with the enthusiasm of two friends who have been engaging with this material for years. Tuning into this podcast means joining a long-running dialogue that treats anime, manga, and comics as serious artistic mediums worthy of thoughtful discussion, all while never losing the sense of fun that brought them to it in the first place. It’s a weekly check-in for anyone who wants to move beyond simple reviews and into more substantive talk about the creative works that define geek culture.
