079 – Geek Life – Rabbit Walrus
March 5, 2014
This week we spotlight the insane and hilarious comic “The Slightly Insane Spontaneously Combusting Frothing Mutant Ninja Blackbelt Samurai Rabbit-Walrus From Hell” by Matt Marchetti. Often shortened to just “Rabbit-Walrus”, this crazy comic finds our rabbit/walrus-like friend fighting (what he thinks is) crime, though often he just murders some innocent folk. But throw a giant evil doom monster at him and now we’re talking! This comic is so funny and totally scatterbrained, we had a great time reading it. Be sure to read some Rabbit-Walrus on Plotless.com and like the Plotless Comics facebook page facebook.com/plotlesscomics.

078 – Geek Life – Turtles Time Warp
February 26, 2014
This week we look back at the iconic first issue of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles by Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird… 80’s style! That’s right, we go back in time and imagine what it’d be like to review TMNT issue 1 in 1984 right as it came out. Eastman and Laird weren’t comic titans yet, just aspiring indie comic creators from New Hampshire. Without all the weight that the turtles carries in our minds, how do we really feel about TMNT if we’d never heard of it before? Find out in this special episode of the Geek Life Podcast.

077 – Geek Life – SadoCat
February 19, 2014
This week we spotlight the true indie gem SadoCat by Cory Patten. The hero…? SadoCat, is here to defend our parks against evil squirrel invasions, our forests against obnoxious hippies and in general murder lots of stuff! Cory’s hilarious comic is pitch perfect and was an instant favorite of the Geek Life crew. This one is really and truly in our top indie comics we’ve ever read (JP said it’s all the way in his Top 10). BE SURE to read and purchase SadoCat on Plotless.com, follow Cory on Twitter @SadoCat and like the Plotless Comics FB page facebook.com/PlotlessComics

076 – Geek Life – Trixie Dynamite
February 12, 2014
This week we spotlight Trixie Dynamite by Ben Schwartz. Ben employed an incredible team of artists to bring his vision of future Sacramento California, or Sacramentropolis, to life in full beautiful color. Trixie is the rocket-booting acrobatic superhero of Sacramento’s future. She battles loads crazy villains and stands guard against the ever present danger of alien invasion! This comic is completely great, with excellent art and skillful (often hilarious) writing, Trixie and company are a must read for indie comic fans. You can find Trixie Dynamite at Empires Comics Vault in Sacramento California or grab issues 1 & 2 at TrixieDynamite.com. Be sure to follow Trixie on twitter @Trixie_Dynamite and like their facebook page facebook.com/TrixieDynamiteComic!
This week Joe recommends The Wizard of Oz by L. Frank Baum, narrated by Anne Hathaway. He was blown away by Hathaway’s reading and really enjoyed seeing the original (much darker) story of Oz. You can grab your free book at AudibleTrial.com/GeekLife and The Wizard of Oz by L. Frank Baum is a great place to start!
