As it is the end of the year (but hopefully not the world), Dean takes a special look back over some of the highs and lows of geekdom (Page 24) before casting his net of expectations into next year (Page 72) . Fashion geek Jess reveals her secrets to performing cosplay miracles on a tight budget (Page 26) while Superman super fan Luke (page 77) waits in the wings to lead us on a very personal exploration of what big blue means to him. Meanwhile somewhere downtown propping up the bar in a cheap dive called “Page 17” is a down on his luck geek gumshoe risking his life and sanity as he tried to unravel the complex world of film noir. Special guest writer Cat Collins from Geeky Girls Love Scifi hijacks the entire Marvel phase one film series (Pg 56) and runs it through the Bechdel Test. No peeking Stark! There’s also a Bluffers guide to board games, a look around a geeked out Cribb in “Geek Cribbs”, a history of Frankenstein, the GS team reveal some of their non geek loves and much more! As well as all that we have reviews, interviews, previews and features aplenty so what are you waiting for? Issue 9 will be released in March, 2014 so we look forward to seeing you then! From all of us at Geek Syndicate, thank you for supporting the magazine, web site and podcasts. Wishing you all a very Happy Christmas! May 2014 be a treat filled barrel of geeky delight!
