Geeking 4 Everyone's Weekly Comic Picks (10-9-13)

This week, there is a lot of excitement going on in the comic book world.  The new Walking Dead #115 came out and it was already sold out a week in advance.  We can honestly say that Robert Kirkman knew what he was doing with this issue and marketing it.  There are 14 variant covers available for this book and yes they sold out a week in advance. Image had selected some bigger retailers to have a midnight party on Tuesday night to give the fans a chance to still pick them up, and this was the only way to get one since they were sold out in advance.  We already grabbed our first chance last week when Mile High Comics was offering this free with an online order of $30 or more.  We also attended The Walking Dead party at Mile High Comics to pick up some extra covers.  Image only selected a few stores to give this offer to, so if you got one consider yourself lucky.  Regardless, we encourage all collectors and Walking Dead fans to try and get at least a copy of this book.  Mile High Comics is giving away one free (since they have some extras), but order fast because they will go fast being so high in demand.  Also, make sure not to miss their weekly newsletter because they give away many of the new comics being released for the week for free with an online order.  Not only is this week an exciting week for Zombie week, but there will also be some exciting Halloween issues coming out that we will discuss throughout the month.  Please, do not forget about our costume contest!!!  This was only suppose to run through summer, but many fans messaged us wanting to enter their Halloween costumes, so make sure to enter if you have a great costume.  Also, please vote for your favorites on our Facebook page.  To enter, just send a picture of your costume to our Facebook page or our e-mail.  Our website is currently under maintenance, but it should be running soon. In our weekly picks we do our top ten, one kids book and one collector's item.  We are also working in the smaller artists that are not with the huge companies to give them some recognition.  So we will pick one every week of those also.  Here is our top ten for the week:




Batman #24:  We have always loved Batman, and we usually get at least a few new Batman issues per month.  This issue is going to be a double issue so it is a little more expensive than your normal book, at about $7 per book.  This book comes in several different variants, including a black and white variant.  This weeks issue seems especially exciting with Batman on a hunt for the Red Hood Gang, and to find out who the mystery leader is.  This issue could change Batman's life, and you can expect lots of reveals and action.  What life changing circumstance will Batman be faced with?  Who is the leader of the Red Hood Gang?





Deadpool #18:  We have picked up the Good, Bad, and Ugly every week since it has been out and this is part 4 of 5 of the Deadpool series.  So far we have enjoyed reading this series and also enjoying appearances from other Marvel characters such as Wolverine and Captain America.  In this weeks book, Deadpool's past has been threatened and we find out why.  This series we have noticed has not been overly corny as the traditional Deadpool books have been, and it has been a nice change.  Sometimes that humor is good, but at times it can get old so we have enjoyed it for a nice change in Deadpool.  What do you think will be revealed about Deadpool's past and how will it be threatened?




Infinity #4:  This is a series we have been enjoying, and its only a six book series and we always try and pick these up as collector's.  In this weeks book, we can expect an appearance from Thor, and also The Illuminati vs Thanos.  Of course as usual, Marvel didn't give much detail to this weeks book. But, we do know that there are some negotiations with the falling of the world.  What do you think will happen with Thor's appearance?  What negotiations do you think will be made?  What will happen with The Illuminati vs Thanos? 




Kids Choice:  Adventure Time Candy Capers #4:  This is a great series for kids, and even the adults seem to enjoy it.  We like this series for kids because it is educational.  It is a great and exciting read for the kiddos, and they can also learn from these books.  This book would be a great Halloween treat to get your kids.  In this weeks book, there is a new set of heroes teaming up. Will they be able to find Finn and Jake?  What adventures will they go on along the way? 




My Gal, The Zombie:  As many of you know we have always thought Dan Conner's work was amazing.  We have always loved his book My Gal, the Zombie. So far he has released one every season since summer, and we have loved both the Summer and Autumn issues of this book.  And who doesn't absolutely love Zombies?  My Gal, the Zombie is about a girl who caught the zombie virus and is trying to live a normal life now being a zombie.  Her friends and boyfriend are supportive of her being a zombie, which makes her life a little easier.  These books have several comic strips, just as you would find in an Archie.  In this issue there is even a Halloween costume comic strip, and we especially loved the one about Denver.  We love the humor and art in Dan's books.  Dan released the Autumn issue last weekend at so we thought it would be a hot item to add to the list.  We don't want to give away too many details before you have a chance to read it, but we will be releasing reviews on these books soon so if you want more detail and spoilers you can look forward to those.  Make sure to check out Dan's other books he has some great books and artwork.  His artwork is even featured at the Charles M. Shulz Museum. You can get his comics, print, and other work at Mile high comics or at http://crazygoodcomics.storenvy.com/.
 

Star Wars #10:  We love this new series and one great thing about the new Star Wars comics is learningabout all the characters that we never saw or heard of in the movies or the other books.  We are huge Star Wars fans, so this is also something we try to pick up at least a few times a month.  In this weeks book, Luke Skywalker and Wedge Antilles break into an imperial destroyer.  But now, Darth is aware of their precense and he alerts nine thousand storm troopers that are now after Luke and Wedge.  Sounds like they both may be in some trouble, will they be able to fight off the stormtroopers and escape one of the darkest villains?  Will they be able to escape and complete their mission? 




Superman/Wonderwoman #1:  This seems to be a must have for many people this week.  We picked up ours this week when Mile High Comics was offering a free one with an online order.  They may still have some available, but make sure to order fast before they are gone.  It has been a while since we have read any Wonderwoman so we definitely wanted to pick up this book.  If it is a good read, then we will continue on with our collection.  This is a brand new series that is suppose to take on the romance between Man of Steel and Wonderwoman, and we are sure there will be plenty of people along the way to stir up problems with their love.  If comic book romances are not your thing then this may not be the read for you. What problems and consequences will arise with the new romance in this new series?





Thor God of Thunder #12:  It has been a while since we have read Thor, but it is always a good read and something we usually enjoy.  With the new movie coming out, I have a feeling Marvel will be releasing more and more Thor books.  You can expect lots of action in this weeks book as Thor goes on a wild hunt.  What do you think he will find or discover on the way?  You can expect to see many mystical creatures in this weeks book.  





Uncanny X Force #12: This is another series that we have always enjoyed and we try to pick one up whenever we can.  We also picked up some older issues at Mile High Comics Walking Dead party on Tuesday night.  This week, the main focus is on Spiral while the rest of the group is in Madripoor.  Spiral is more determined than ever to find new mutant Ginny.  Will Spiral be able to handle Ginny and the cult or will it be too much to handle? 





Walking Dead #1 (10th Anniversary):  Usually we don't add more than one type of book in a week, but since this is a special Walking Dead week with the 10th anniversary we are making an exception.  We are adding this book to the list this week because we do not yet have a Walking Dead #1.  We purchased the first compendium from Mile High Comics when it came out, and then starting collecting individually from there.  This book is normally a very expensive book, and same with the first 50 or so in this series.  So we are excited to have a Walking Dead #1 (which is a reprint) for a normal comic book price.  If you do not yet have a Walking Dead #1 then I would grab this book.  Even though it is a reprint its better to have it, or buy the expensive version.  Either way, I would get a copy of this book if you are a Walking Dead fan.




Walking Dead #115:  This book is already sold out for the week, and it sold out a week before it was even released.  This is the 10th anniversary special of The Walking Dead, and I don't think we have been this excited for a book in a long time.  There are 14 variant covers total available for this book, and they are all very rare so if you have the chance to pick them up.....DO IT!!!  We picked up the blank cover free with an order with Mile High Comics, and if you had the chance to grab one then you were smart and acted fast.  We were also able to get the rest of the covers at Mile High Comics Walking Dead party since they were one of the retailers selected by Image.  There were 13 variants released to the stores, and then the 14th one is the one that is being released at New York Comic Con this weekend.  So if you are attending, you will also have a chance to pick up a book.  Even without the rarity of this books we are excited for the anticipated action in this book.  In this weeks book, the group is in ultimate turmoil and you can expect lots of action in this book.  Rick and Kegan go head to head.  And of course there are plenty of other to help both sides.  We cannot wait to read this book, and we feel like its been so long since there has been one released that it makes the excitement even stronger.  Who do you think will win?  What other exciting details will we find out in this issue?  Let us know what you think if you were lucky enough to pick one up.  If you didn't notice already in the picture, once all the books are put together it makes one scene. 





X-Men #6:  We have always loved X-Men, and this is another comic we usually pick up a few issues of.  Whether they are new comics or old comics.  There is always excitement and something for everyone in these books.  And also with characters that everyone loves.  This weeks issue its Battle of the Atom part 4, and there is all kinds of turmoil being caused with the Jean Grey school and the X-Men are also attacked.  You can expect lots of action in this weeks book. Rachel Grey is the only one that is equal to beat the opponents, will she be able to do it?





Collector's item for the week:  For the collectors items each week, we like to list one book that is usually an good collector's choice that is most likely a little more expensive than a normal book. We have another Walking Dead choice on one of our choices for this week.  But, this is a must have collector's item.  One of the variants for the Walking Dead variants is listed at $250.00. This is for the Black and White version of the variant. This may seem expensive, but this book is rare and it will be worth a pretty penny one day.  This book keeps going up daily on e-bay and it may be harder to get but if you can get one I would not miss out.  When Image selected the stores to have a Walking Dead party they gave each store a copy to give away.  As we said its hard to get but if you can get one from a store or off e-bay it will be worth adding to your collection.   There wasn't a whole ton of merchandise for the week, but one we saw that we really liked the art on was a Captain America poster by Adi Ganov.  With everything going on in the country right now I really liked the symbol and meaning behind it.  And if the poster doesn't strike your fancy then there is always Walking Dead T shirts.

Geeking 4 Everyone's Top Picks of the Week (9-25-13)

There are so many great new titles that come out every week that it makes it so tough to choose.  But each week we will be choosing 10 titles that are our top picks, and we will also be giving a short description of the comic.  Our intent is not to reveal anything but a summary of what the book may be about, but if you don't want to know anything then don't read any further.  Our weekly reviews will be more designed to actually discuss the book with more spoilers, the purpose in these weekly blogs is to recommend books to our fans, and let you know what is on our list for the week (which we will also release every Wednesday).  We love to hear all input from our fans so please don't hesitate to let us know how you like any of the books recommended, or if you have any questions.  The picks are always done alphabetically so these picks are not numbered from first choice to last choice only the top 10 that we choose to purchase for the week.  We also like to pick one children's book so parents out there know what to get for their child. There are so many exciting things going on this month for comics.  DC Comics is doing a Villains month for the whole month of September, there will be special villains issues that we are excited for.  The issues will also have variant covers that will be available in 3D.  Pull your comics fast, and please keep in mind your comic book retailer cannot control how many they get of this issue so please be patient and remember there are no guarantees.  Next month there will also be some exciting Halloween issues being released starting next week, so starting next week we will be discussing those.  Here's our top ten for the week:



Batman #23.4 Bane:  We are finishing off our Villains month Batman collection with this book.  We have always enjoyed books with Bane, so we are especially excited for this weeks Batman.  In this issue, Batman is now gone and all of the prisoners from Arkam Asylum are running around like crazy, and who knows what damage they will cause.  If that isn't enough havoc for Gotham, Bane is on a warpath and he is ready to destroy anyone who gets in his way.  What damage will the prisoners cause?  And even worse, what damage will Bane cause on Gotham?  Will anyone be able to get the prisoners under control and be able to take down Bane?




Batman Superman #3.1 Doomsday:  We have picked up every book so far in this series so we want to continue on with this series.  The first book in this series was a little slow (as many are), but we feel like the excitement is starting to pick up. This issue takes place before Superman fought Doomsday, and we see a lot more detail about Doomsday.  This was when Doomsday caused turmoil on Superman's World, Krypton.  Will Superman be able to stop Doomsday?  What new exciting details will we find out about Doomsday?  Will anyone come in to help Superman before its too late?




Batman The Dark Knight #23.4 Joker's Daughter:   We always love picking up a new Dark Knight when there is one available, and have picked up one so far every week for Villains month.  Joker fans, this would definitely be a good book for you to pick up for a new kind of crazy.  Now that Arkam Asylum has been completely destroyed, The Joker's daughter has a whole new herd of crazy followers in the new dark Gotham.  Will anyone be able to save Gotham or is it destined for darkness forever?  What damage will The Joker's Daughter cause with all of her new followers from Arkam Asylum?




Gambit #17:  It has been a while since we have read any Gambit so we wanted to pick up this weeks book.  This series is finally reaching the intense conclusion and Gambit must choose between his two seperate identities.  The only problem is he must choose fast because he is right in the middle of a Villain riot.  Hopefully no one is already chasing after Gambit because it sounds like he has his hands full. What will Gambit choose, being a Hero or a theif?  What consequences could he suffer based on what he chooses?  Will Gambit be able to survive the Villain riot? 





Justice League #23.4 Secret Society:  We are continuing our Villain's week collection by picking up another issue of Justice League.  So far, we have not missed an issue yet and we have been enjoying this collection.  There have been several new Villains across the new 52, and we find out why they are there and what their purpose and targets are.  What damage will the new Villains cause across The new 52?  Will anyone be able to stop the new Villain's from causing damage?  




Kids Choice: Peanuts Vol. 2 #12:  This series is great for kids, it is a great read and it also teaches them a few things.  Who didn't love Peanuts as a child, or even as an adult?  Not only, is this a great book for your kids to read but it is also educational.  In this issue, Peppermint Patty teaches Sally Brown how to be a good student.  If your child struggles in school, or doesn't like school then this is the perfect book.  Your child will be engaged with this book, as well as learn about school and how to be a good student.  Sometimes having a child listen to a character they love is the best way for them to learn.  For more gender related books, we would suggest the My Little Pony being released this week for girls, and for boys there is a new Transformers coming out this week.




Mind MGMT #15:  We have always enjoyed the Mind MGMT series and also Matt Kindt's work.  In this weeks issue we find out what happened to Henry Lyme between the first and second stories.  We also find out why he is building a team and what danger he could possibly get into next.  There is someone after Henry and we find out who that is in this book.  Who is after Henry?  What will we find out about between the first and second stories? 




Star Wars Legacy:  Who doesn't love Star Wars?  We like this series because we are looking forward to what the future of the Star Wars Legacy holds.  In this weeks issue after having a vision of Empress Fel falling from a sith, Ania Solo and Knight Jaio ignore the orders they were given and head out to look for the Sith that goes after Empress Fel.  Can they find the Sith before its too late?  What problems will arise with them ignoring orders on their other adventure?

Uncanny Avengers #12:  We have always loved this series, and this week even though DC are the ones having Villains week this is an excellent Marvel Villains issue.  If you love the Marvel Villains and possibly even some new Villains then you will love this issue.  Marvel has hinted there will be several bad guys in this issue.  There is also a secret pact between Ahab and Red Skull and we find out what kind of havok this can cause for the Mutants.  Kang's motives are also revealed in this issue, and we see the Apocolypse twins.  What will happen in this issue and how will the Avengers handle all this Choas?  What will we find out about Kang's true motives, and the pact between Red Skull and Ahab? 




Wolverine and The X-Men #36:  We have been enjoying this series and we try to get a new book every week when it is released.  We both have always been huge X-Men and Wolverine fans.  Marvel didn't give away a whole ton of info this week, but it is Battle of The Atom Part 4.  Marvel said any more information and there would be too many spoilers so we will all have to read and find out.  We will find out the Fate and future of the new X-men in this book.  What do you think is in the future for The X-Men?  What do you think will happen in Battle of the Atom Part 4?

Excitement for Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D......Coulson Lives!!!!!!

For months now we have all been excited for Joss Whedon's newest Marvel TV series on ABC, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.  And tonight we will see the debut that we have all been waiting for.  As a Joss Whedon fan and an Avengers fan, we can honestly say that we cannot wait for this new series to start.  For those of you that did not see Iron Man 2 or don't know what S.H.I.E.L.D. means it stands for Strategic Homeland Intervention, Enforcement and Logistics Division. As usual, Marvel didn't give a whole ton of information other than what us viewers saw on various previews over the last several months.  All we know about this show so far is what has been released in the previews up until this point, we are excited to see where Whedon is taking this show and what he has in store for us. The previews for the show look to be packed with action as well as an excellent storyline, and we have a feeling there will be many more secrets to come (other than Agent Phil Coulson being alive).  Every week we will release blogs within a few days of the show.  So you can expect many more blogs and also some podcasts down the road.


When this show was first announced,  we were all shocked by the fact that Agent Phil Coulson is still alive. That's right, the Agent Coulson that appeared to die in The Avengers is back and he appears to be more determined than ever.  We learned in the previews, that most people don't know that Agent Coulson is alive.  Unless someone is an agent with Level 7 clearance they still think Agent Coulson is dead.  Also, remember when Loki got something from Coulson in The Avengers and Coulson was talking about Level 7 Clearance?  Yeah that's a detail you may not remember, but our prediction is that this whole show has been planned since the Avengers was made. If Agent Coulson being alive isn't exciting enough for you, then there is much more to the story line.  There are several characters that you can expect to see right away, and who knows we may see a lot more characters down the road. There are also some other familiar agent faces that you can look forward to: Skye, Melinda May, Grant Ward, Leo Fitz, Jenna Simmons, and of course Agent Phil Coulson.   Hopefully, we can expect to see some additional Avengers characters that we all love.  And also some new superheros and some new characters.  The characters that have been released up to this point are only up until the first three episodes, so you can expect many more to come.  Here is the best trailer that has been released up until this point:  

Let us know what you think of tonights show, but we have a feeling that this show is going to be a new geek favorite.  Don't forget to catch our other blogs and other geeky related things at blogspot and Facebook. Also don't forget to catch our reviews on the show every week after it is aired.

 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles The Animated Adventures #3:  We were not always completely crazy over the new design of the Ninja turtles from growing up in the 80's.  But ever since the first issue of this series was released at SDCC we decided to give it a chance.  We have been enjoying it so far, so we are going to continue with our collection and pick up this weeks book.  We all love zombies, and what better way than to have TMNT with zombies?  In this weeks books Mikey gets a little too freaked out by watching too many zombie movies.  Then the people of New York start to act a bit like zombies and a little mindless, and Mikey has to face his fears to save the day.  Will the brother believe Mikey or will he have to fight the zombies all on his own?  Will Mikey and or the brothers be able to save the day?  Sounds like a situation of the Mikey who cried Zombies.

What crossovers will we see next?  What will happen in this next battle?

Avengers #19:  The infinity series continues and you can expect tons of action this week.  We have really been enjoying this avengers series, and feel like we have been excited from one issue to the next. Another war with the builders continues, and we see more exciting action as we have been seeing to this point.  Will the Avengers be able to resolve the conflicts in space?  What other issue will arise in the galaxy and who else will we see in this issue?  

Batman The Dark Knight 23.2 Mr. Freeze:  The Dark Knight series has always been one of ourfavorites and this weeks issue is part of Villains week.  We also picked up the Batman Dark Knight 23.1 last week so we are excited to see where this weeks issue will go.  We all know the damage that Mr. Freeze is capable of and I think this weeks issue will be especially packed with action.  In this weeks book, Mr Freeze is causes the ultimate turmoil when he decides to target a certain family just to get to Batman.  Will Batman be able to stop him before its too late?  What damage will Mr Freeze cause?  What does Mr. Freeze have planned for Batman in this weeks issue?




Batman 23.2 The Riddler:  With The Dark Knight out of the picture The Riddler is more powerful than ever, and you can expect many secrets to unfold in this weeks issue.  The riddler starts planning his usual games with The Dark Knight out of the picture and we will see what he is planning next.  We will also see how Zero Year plays into the riddler and how it affects him.  Will anyone be able to stop the Riddler?  What does The Riddler have planned next?  This is suppose to be one of the most anticipated books, for DC's Villains month. 





Deadpool #16:  We have always loved all Deadpool, and we try to pick up an issue when we can.  Deadpool has always been one of our favorites and always one that we love to add to our collection. This is part 2 of 3 of this series and we picked up the first one and we will also pick up the next one.  Anytime we see a short series that we like we always  Deadpool meets up with some friends this week and Captain America and Wolverine get stuck in Deadpool's past.  What will issues will Captain America and Wolverine have with Deadpool's past?  What other problems will occur in this issue?  What secrets could we possibly find out pertaining to Deadpools past leading into the future? 




Flash 23.2 Reverse Flash:  It has been forever since we have read any Flash, and what better week than Villains week? In this weeks book we find out about the discovery of Reverse Flash and who he is. What discoveries will we find out about Reverse Flash?  What is his relationship with Barry Allen?  What action will we see and discover in this book?






Green Lantern 23.2 Mongul:  Last week we picked up Green Lantern 23.1 and since we are trying to get all the titles for Villains week we will be picking this up as well.  I don't want to give too many details of last week's book since we don't like to announce spoilers, but in this weeks book the ultimate enemy, Mogul comits genocide across the whole galaxy and only the strongest warriors will be able to survive.  Who will survive the genocide across the galaxy?  Will the Lanterns be able to stop Mongul before he has caused too much damage?

Indestructible Hulk #16:  It has been a while since we have picked up a book in this series.  We have seen The Hulk take on just about everything in this series, from Dinosaurs to the most evil villains known to man. In this weeks book, Bruce Banner is running out of time and The Black Knight makes an appearance.  What excitement will we see when the Black Knight makes his appearance? 






Justice League Dark #23.2 Eclipso:  We also picked up the Justice League Dark 23.1 and so this week we decided to carry on our Villains week collection by picking up another Justice League Dark.  We all know that the Black Diamond has been reeking havoc in the new 52, but we will find The Black Diamond causing even more trouble in this new book.  The Black Diamond finds a new host that is a perfect fit and we see Eclipso be unleashed as one of the deadliest enemies that The Justice League sees yet.  What damage will Eclipso cause?  Will anyone be able to stop Black Diamond and Eclipso? 




Kids Choice: Adventure Time: Candy Capers #3:  Adventure Time is a great series for your little ones.  If reading comics, are not educational enough then Adventure time will also teach them many educational lessons along the way.  This mini series is great if you or your kids love Nancy Drew or the Hardy Boys.  In this weeks book someone will need to take Jake and Finn's place, who will it be?  What exciting adventures will there be in this weeks book?  This book is also a great pick for your kids for Halloween this year. 




Star Wars #9:  We always love picking up new Star Wars to read.  Most of the time we are not disappointed with any Star Wars comic so we try and pick one up when we can.  In this issue, Princess Leia is all alone in the galaxy when her Jedi friends are trying to escpape from being trapped in the Empire and they must fight the Bounty Hunters to get out.  When the Princess is flying her X-Wing through the galaxy she discovers the ruins of Alderaan.  This is the moment that Star Wars fans have been waiting for.  What discoveries will Princess Leia find?




The Walking Dead #114:  We are very excited about this weeks issue of The Walking Dead, it has been one of our favorite series.  It has been a while since one has been released so we are excited for this new one we feel like the wait has almost been as hard as it is for the show. We are just as excited for this issue and issues following as we are for the show to start in October. Images did not give a lot of details this week, but "What would Jesus do?", to us that doesn't sound good for Rick and the group. In this weeks issue, after Andrea's supposed passing Negan has Rick and the group exactly where he wants them and he is even more enraged than he was before.  Will Rick and the group be able to defend themselves against Negan and the Crew?  What does Negan have planned for Rick and the rest of the group?  Walking Dead fans, Don't miss our Denver Comic Con blog being released close to October for spoilers and behind the scenes info that you will love.  There will be plenty of excitement to read and find out about the show and the comics getting released.

Apple News: The 5s and 5c iPhones

Last week, Apple fans found out the newest members of Apple's family, the iPhone 5s and iPhone 5c.  The difference between the 5s and the 5c is a difference in preference, and depending on what preferences you have depends on the phone you should get. We have also included the videos directly from Apple's website so you can watch and see the new phones and their features. 


The 5S will have the most technology out of any iPhone made yet. It will have an A7 64bit processor (which if you don't know, is extremely fast).  The new A7 chip will help assist the phone with several new features. The camera in this phone will work with the operating system and will take four photos then merge those photos together in one photo for the ultimate precision.  This is designed to take out any blurriness from movements, or any bad lighting.  There will be a fingerprint security scanner on the home button of your phone.  This means no more passwords, all you have to do is let the phone scan your thumbprint and you will have access to your phone and also be able to use it in the store instead of entering your apple id.  The phone will also have something called an M7 chip which is the graphics card that will be working with the A7 on the 5s.  If you don't know already this is about the equivalent that comes in an XBOX 360 so gamers will love this model.  We have included the video below to give you more visual detail with the 5s.  With a new contract or upgrade it costs $199 for the 16GB, $299 for the 32G and $399 for the 64 MB.  Without a contract its $650 for the 16G, $750 for the 32G, and $850 for the 64GB.  

The 5C is more for the person that doesn't need a lot of extra features and it is cheaper in price than the 5S.  So, if you are one of those people that has been waiting for a more inexpensive iPhone then this would be the one to get.  Its basic, but don't let the fact that it doesn't have as many features of the 5S fool you.  This phone will still be very camparible to the Iphone 5, so the technology will still be there.  This phone runs on an A6 just as the Iphone 5 does.  It has a polycarbonite casing that will give your phone the ultimate protection vs the metal/glass casing that comes with the standard iPhone, even more the reason that it is perfect for a teenager or college student who may not take as good of care for their phone.  The 5C will come in multiple colors: Yellow, White, Blue, Green, and pink.  The phones will also have new rubber cases so that you can interchange multiple colors, the cases will not come with the phone they are sold seperately.  Below is a video that is from the Apple website to give you more visual detail on the 5c. The price on the 5C starts at $199 for a 16MB and  $299 for a 16GB with a contract and $399 for the 64 MB.  It is my understanding that Apple may reduce the prices on the 5C, and make sure to check your local phone companies because pricing may vary. 

 

Now that you have the info on both features its time to decide which phone will suit you the best. For me I am choosing the 5S because I want the faster processor and the better camera to be able to deliver our fans better coverage at conventions and events.   Now, if all you want is a basic phone, and the camera abilities on the 5 are ok for you then I would say to go with the 5C.  If you are looking for a more inexpensive phone with basic features the 5C is the way to go.  To me, the 5C would be perfect for the teenager or college student that doesn't need something extremely fancy.  It really comes down to preference and what you need to use your phone for.  Not impressed with either phone?  That's ok don't forget the iphone 6 is on its way in the near future. Let us know what phone you will be buying in the future, we are curious what our fans think about all the new phones coming out even if you are not purchasing an iPhone.

Geeking 4 Everyone's Top Ten Picks of the week (9-4-13)

There are so many great new titles that come out every week that it makes it so tough to choose.  But each week we will be choosing 10 titles that are our top picks, and we will also be giving a short description of the comic.  Our intent is not to reveal anything but a summary of what the book may be about, but if you don't want to know anything then don't read any further.  Our weekly reviews will be more designed to actually discuss the book with more spoilers, the purpose in these weekly blogs is to recommend books to our fans, and let you know what is on our list for the week (which we will also release every Wednesday).  We love to hear all input from our fans so please don't hesitate to let us know how you like any of the books recommended, or if you have any questions.  The picks are always done alphabetically so these picks are not numbered from first choice to last choice only the top 10 that we choose to purchase for the week.  We always choose writers and artists that we believe are extremely talented so no need to state the obvious on that one.  Although, now and again we may give a mention to one of our favorites.  We also like to pick one kids book for the parents out there looking for good books for their little ones.  Also, remember the covers we show are only the standard cover, check your retailer for alternate covers.  We will also release our top collector's item for the week.  For the month of September DC is doing Villains month, and so this month should be especially packed with all your favorite Villains.  Some of these titles even come in 3-D.  With the high demand this month on all the DC Villain titles, be sure to pull your comics quickly and order quick before they are gone.  This month we will be letting you know what some of our favorite Villain issues that are coming out that we want to purchase.  We will leave a link at the end of this blog.  Here's our top ten for the week:

Batman Black and White #1:  If you never read this book when it was released in 1996 you should start now.  This book was awesome back then we are sure the first book to this new mini series will be something you don't want to miss.  We are especially excited for this new mini series and can't wait to see what stories are going to be included in this series.  The original Black and White #1 won an Eisner trophy, and of course this mini series will include stories from some of the most talented artists and writers in the comic book industry.  Even better, if you place an order at Mile High Comics this week for $50 or higher than you can get this issue for free.  I know this is one deal that I will not be missing out on.  Make sure to place your order quick before these are all gone.  The deal is gone once the issues are so if you don't act fast you may not get it.  What stories will be included in this new Miniseries?  What predictions do you have for this series?




Batman 23.1 Joker:  This is an issue that we would love to pick up in celebration of Villains month that DC Comics is doing for the month.  This is a series that I have always enjoyed that I have not had the chance to pick up in a while.  We always know how evil the Joker is, but in this issue we find out what originally send The Joker on his path of turmoil.  I have a feeling this book may have some extra details that we may not know about the Joker yet that will be especially exciting.  We can't wait to see what unfolds in this book and what else The Joker has in store.  




Danger Girl: The Chase #1:  Even though the legend behind this series J. Scott Campbell is not drawing anymore for this series we still want to give this series a chance.   We have always loved Danger girl and have not checked out any books since J. Scott Campbell stopped doing the Danger Girl series.  In this book the girls have a ticking bomb on their hands.  They travel to different countries cities, and many other exciting destinations.  We are excited to see all the places that the girls go on in order to stop this ticking time bomb. Can the girls safely get the ticking time bomb under control before its too late and causes too much destruction?





Garfield #17 (Kids pick of the week):  We always loved Garfield as kids, and we think any child can appreciate Garfield.  The show has always been relatively educational and same with the comic. Only the comic is much more packed with action to keep your child's attention.  In this issue, Garfield takes on the Lasagna Monstors.  In next weeks issue its the battle of the evil Calzone.  One thing that's great about Garfield is it may get your child's interest in foods they don't like.




Green Lantern #23.1 Relic:  This is another issue part of DC's Villain month, and it has been a while since we have read any Green Lantern so we decided to get this weeks issue.  This book is also available in 3D, but those go fast so order quick.  In this issue, Relic is back and we discover more about him and what his intentions are.  Relic could be the most powerful and intense force that the Lantern's have ever seen from anything.  What damage will Relic cause and why?  What details will we find out in this week's issue?




Infinity #2:  We have enjoyed this series and every week there is a release for this series we pick it up.  Unfortunately this week Marvel didn't give a lot of clues as to where this book would be leading us.  But, we do know that the in humans pay their tribute and there is victory in deep space.  What excitement will this weeks book bring?  What battles will be fought in this weeks issue?  What new characters will possibly be introduced?




Justice League Dark #23.1 Creeper:  The Creeper escapes from being in his captivity and as he breaks out he causes more turmoil and destruction than anyone could have imagined.  Katana and Jack Ryder also join The Justice League this week.  Will The Justice League be able to stop The Creeper?  What will The Creeper destroy on his path of destruction?  We are especially excited to pick up this issue for Villains month.




Spawn #235:  We have always enjoyed the Spawn series, and just about every week that one comes out we pick it up.  In this weeks issue, the battle between Jim and the K7 Leetha continues.  New truths and details are unraveled in this weeks issue when K7 Leetha tries to control Jim's mind, but all it does is make him remember things.  A new friend also comes into this book and tells an old story about a Vampire.  What secrets will be discovered in this weeks issue?  What excitement will this Vampire story bring to this book?



Superman #23.1:  This is another book we are excited to get for villains month.  In this issue, Lex Luthor has a plan for Superman, and that's to engineer him genetically and make him a mindless soldier under his control.  This soldier is named Bizarro and I am sure we can imagine that this new version of Superman is nothing but pure evil.  What destruction will Bizarro cause?  How long will Lex cause turmoil until someone can stop him?




 The Star Wars #1:   This series is George Lucas' adaptation of Star Wars before it was really Star Wars.  This series is the rough draft of the writing of Star Wars by George Lucas that would eventually change movie industry and grow into the films that we all love so much. We are sure there will be many secrets revealed in this new series.  We all know that in movies there are many things they cut out so it will be interesting to see what details get revealed in this new series.  In this weeks issue we discover that Annakin Starkiller is the hero, Luke is a wiser Jedi General, and Han Solo is a big, green alien.  And as always, the Sith is there to cause havok and turmoil with the Jedi's.  What secrets will be revealed in this new series?  What trouble will the Sith's cause on the Jedi's? 




These are our top 10 picks for the week let us know if you have any questions, and please feel free to comment with any input.  We love having conversations and answering any questions that fans may have.  Also, sometimes buying everything in one week can be overwhelming, but if you shop at Mile High Comics like we do you will save a ton of money.  And, you may also get something for free as a bonus as we have gotten from several online orders.  Next, month DC is doing Villain month and so Septembers issues will be especially packed with all of our favorite Villains.  You can also go to DC's website and enter a chance to win every issue for Villian month. We are especially excited for next months issues. Until next weeks new releases.....
