I can remember exactly where I was when this awful decade came into being. Believe it or not, when I rang in the new year on January.I remember feeling filled with optimism. By entering this new era, I felt, we could wipe the slate clean. Maybe this would be a new age of peace, love, brother and sisterhood.

But first, in our week in geek, Rob read some DMZ and played some PC games, Gabe got a new job and a new computer and Tony starts his staycation and plays Rock Band: The Beatles. In TV and Movie, Rob enjoyed Creature, Tony muses about Zorro the Gay Blade and Gabe checks out the new Whiteout movie. Wednesday comics round up is short and sweet this week.

A little late, but one of the first comics I remember getting was actually a Donal Duck. My favorite character as a kid, comic wise, was Strongbow from the Elfquest series. This was also the first series I seriously collected. Oldest comic I currenlty own. Not too sure, all my longboxes were stolen from my storage, so it would be something recent. It's hard to pick a single geek moment from my youth. I will say on vacation to Monterey, CA, I found a comic shop and spent most of my time and money there on a family vacation.
