Iron Man 3 (Hopefully) Spoiler Free review


The wait, she is over. Since May last year, every Marvel fan has been eagerly anticipating what comes next in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, where the Avengers may go now they have beaten back Loki and his horde of Chirauri and had their shawarma? Well look no further geeks of the world, because Iron Man 3 is here, and it's big, shiny and has a lethal weapon style double act of Stark and Rhodey!
Turn off the lights and hit the music! Take away nine year old boy...!

A Game of Heroes: Marvel and DC in the world of Westeros...



So, if you've been on Twitter, and lets face, EVERYONE is on Twitter, you'll have seen that the nice people at HBO have developed a page called Join The Realm, which enables you to create a sigil for your family name in the style of the seven families of Westeros ala Game of Thrones. I did this myself, as did my fiancee, and here's our results. 





















Our words were pinched from Metallica songs, House Robin's from Sanitrium (Welcome Home) and House Morley's from Master of Puppets and both seemed very apt and inspired by GRRM's magnum opus.

Now the inner geek in me couldn't help but bubble over once we'd started making them, and I decided to start looking for Marvel and D.C symbols and attempting to recreate them within the world of Westeros and the seven kingdoms. Low and behold, I could!

So, for your viewing pleasure, here's my attempts at a selection of various Marvel and DC characters, some pretty simple and straight forward and others I thought would be a little but more vague and funny!

I hope you enjoy them!

2015: The Year of the geek






2015. It's a date for any geeks diary. Not only is it the year of hover boards, 3D attacking advertising and Marty McFly heading to Hillvalley to help his future son, it's also  "THE YEAR OF THE GEEK!!" (Imagine this in a loud, booming Hollywood echoey voice)
