Nathan Edmonson Wants a ‘Black Widow’ Movie This Bad

Black Widow 5Black Widow comic book scribe Nathan Edmondson has written his very own script for a feature film starring everyone’s favorite Russian assassin, and he’s posted in on his website.

It’s actually quite good, as is Edmondson’s Black Widow comic. I’m just not sure it’s in the cards for this to happen.

Check out a PDF copy of Edmondson’s script here.

Review: Tooth & Claw #1

Whenever you read a comic by longtime writer Kurt Busiek you know you’re going to get two things. Something different. And something awesome. Unfortunately, sometimes these two things just don’t work together. Tooth & Claw takes readers headfirst into a magical world of strange and spiritual beings, laying the groundwork for something truly spectacular, but, pardon the expression, there’s a whole lot of bark and not enough bite. Check out our Preview of Tooth & Claw here.

Top o' the Lot Featured

Top o’ the Lot: Marvel Comics Real Estate (National)

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.

After a long series of Tops o’ For Sale Signthe Lot covering the color spectrum of comic book characters, I wanted to get into some of the more obscure and trivial lists that I had in mind when beginning this segment.

Cities, buildings, mansions, headquarters and more between the Big 2 publishers. How is one to choose? By narrowing it down to the trivially specific, that’s how! So, without further ado, we rack up the frequent flyer miles, hope to get something above subprime, and land IS the best investment, with Outright Geekery’s Top o’ the Lot: Marvel Comics Real Estate (National).
