Issue 8 of GS folks…that’s
right we are still here keeping the ninjas at bay while
we bring you the very best
that geekdom has to offer.
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!
