A place for all things geek... ONCE UPON A GEEK is a Monday-Friday blog that focuses on a variety of geeky topics, including: comic books, Doctor Who, Star Wars (classic and legacy characters), role-playing, 80’s TV shows, and science fiction in general. However, any topic is really fair game. Don't forget to share your thoughts by adding comments!
About a year and a half ago I posted a Doctor Who fan-made anime trailer that was a work-in-progress. Well, they finished it and it’s gorgeous! I’m not much of a fan of anime, but this video is full of awesome. You should watch it. If you can’t view the embedded video above, please click [...]
If you haven’t already, you gotta check out NEIGHBORS FROM HELL! It’s a new animated series on TBS from the producers of Family Guy and South Park. There is some great voice work by folks like Patton Oswald, Molly Shannon, and Will Sasso. It’s a riot, but definitely not for the kiddies. The series is [...]
Just last week Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment released Iron Man: The Complete Animated Series and the X-Men: Animated Series Volume 5. These cartoons from the 1990s hold a special place in my heart and I’m thrilled both entire series are now available on DVD. IRON MAN Need more Iron Man action after seeing the [...]
Presenting comic book advertisements for the 1980 Saturday morning cartoons! Here we have ads from ABC, NBC, and CBS. If I had to declare a winner for me personally in 1980, I guess it would have been ABC. I was a big fan of Super Friends and Thundarr the Barbarian, and a moderate fan of [...]
I stumbled across a few more Saturday Morning Cartoon advertisements in some old comics. Below are ads that ran in DC comics in the fall of 1983. At the time, they were promoting the upcoming fall line-up of Saturday morning cartoons on ABC and NBC. Oddly enough I didn’t see an ad for CBS. Click [...]
Batman: The Brave and the Bold (BBB) has come under fire from hard-core Batman fans. They feel the lighthearted representation of Batman in this cartoon takes away from the “Dark Knight Crusader” version they consider to be the “real” Batman. The BBB version of Batman certainly is a departure from the one depicted in: Batman: [...]
I love me some Back to the Future. Being a time travel nut, I can’t help but love these movies! While I was cleaning out my step-son’s room this past weekend, I stumbled across the toys below. I’ll be honest, I have no idea where the DeLorean on the left came from. I suspect it [...]
In case you hadn’t heard, Toy Story 3 is scheduled for release June 18, 2010. Below is the description from Disney and the trailer. I think this plot line is especially relevant to us geeks, because we are often known for hanging onto our childhood toys. The creators of the beloved Toy Story films re-open [...]
I just finished watching the animated movie Superman/Batman: Pubic Enemies. I liked the film, but I don’t think I have it in me to write a full-on review of the movie right now. Bottom line, it was enjoyable. Give it a try. What did catch my eye was the sneak peek for an upcoming DC [...]
