Geek satire, comedy, and all things satirical in the geek universe.

My Space Dark Horse Presents
Dark Horse Presents was an anthology comic that debuted in 1986, the august year of my wayward youth. It was almost a decade before the internet took off, but the internet iteration Myspace Dark Horse Presents, so named because it tapped potential comics talent from the denizens of the now-defunct social media platform, extenuated the indie comics anthology to the cyber realm. The series, six volumes long, eventually pulled in big-name talents such as Mike "Hellboy" Mignola, but still managed to retain the status of being a vehicle to showcase new talent.

Open Letter to Astronaut
Dear Astronaut Executives, Board Members, PR Crisis Interns, and whoever’s still left monitoring the corporate Slack, I hear you're looking for a new CEO after your last one heroically resigned in the wake of the Coldplaygate debacle. Tragic stuff. A man felled not by fiscal mismanagement, a hostile takeover, or even a private jet scandal—but by Chris Martin’s dreamy falsetto and a poorly-timed photo op. Corporate martyrdom truly has a new face.

Not every antagonist is evil. Some are just mirrors. And the scariest ones are the ones who didn’t mean to become monsters.

Poker Face Season 2, Episode 5 Review
A entertaining but predictable (and ultimately underwhelming) episode of Poker Face features Charlie Cale facing off against a former small-town baseball pitcher who possesses a lethal fastball. "Hometown Hero," the fifth episode of Poker Face season 2, is the season's first significant disappointment. Although there are some funny moments and some amazing guest stars in this episode, it doesn't live up to the high bar the series has set for itself.

Poker Face Season 2, Episodes 1-3 Review
With another round of twisty, mind-blowing, lie-detecting murder investigations, Natasha Lyonne's incredibly intelligent mystery-of-the-week series, Poker Face, is back, and this time, it's just as clever as the first. Charlie Cale is once again evading the mob, conveniently running into killers along the way, and using her extraordinary talent for figuring out whether someone is telling the truth to solve each case. Poker Face is more of a "howcatchem" than a whodunnit. Each episode follows the Columbo tradition of revealing the murder up front and then leaving you to wonder how Charlie will solve it.
