Crazy Sexy Geeks: A New Weekly Web-Series

A show to help initiate those who are clueless about comics!

So your parents loved Robert Downey, Jr. in Iron Man but don't think comics themselves have anything to offer? Your friends loved V for Vendetta and The Dark Knight and are curious to read comics now but aren't sure where to start? This is the show to help them all out.

Starring yours truly and New York actor Jose Ramos, "Crazy Sexy Geeks" is meant to help new people get into comics while also entertaining those already initiated. Each week we will discuss topics such as openly gay super-heroes, why there don't seem to be many women super-heroes outside of comics, whether remakes are better than sequels, and other fun topics that anyone with a smidgeon of pop culture knowledge can enjoy.

This is not your typical comic book video blog where two or three guys sit in a basement or at a friend's house and just review what came out this week. This is a show where we go out on the street, asking mainstream America what they think about super-heroes, sci-fi films, etc. Likewise, there are professional interviews with folks such as artist Jamal Igle (Supergirl), artist Chris Batista (The Last Days of Animal Man), novelist David Mack (Star Trek: Destiny, The Calling), and others still to come.

For our first episode, watch us chat with Amber Benson (Tara from "Buffy the Vampire Slayer") about female super-heroes, her new novel Death's Daughterr, and what she thinks about the Twilight series.

Ready? Great. Let's star the action!
