Some of you will know that I’m regrettably a massive Star Trek nerd. In fact, I’m so massive a Trek nerd that I think J.J. Abrams’ remake/reboot of the franchise is going to be horrible even though the world at large knows almost nothing concrete about it! That’s nerd-thinking for you. To that end, I’ve written up my reasoning in an article on Den of Geek, in the true Den of Geek style - an annotated list. Take it all with a pinch of salt, this article is nothing if not self-aware.
5 Reasons to be worried about J.J. Abrams’ Star Trek.

Latest Alternate Cover column sees me choosing my 3 favourite Wolverine moments, then calling them the “best three” in order to stimulate some rage in the reading public. The thing I learnt from writing this article: over 12 years after buying Wolverine #99 from a small WH Smiths in Wales, I still have never read Wolverine #100. How wrong is that?

Frustrated with how some people call themselves Manga fans or Comics fans and then never the twain shall they meet, I have taken it upon myself to recommend some manga with crossover appeal. Next week, the same, but in reverse.

This week’s column takes advantage of my vast and pointless knowledge of Hulk comics. Part-satire, part-geekery, this article is a set of ESSENTIAL facts designed to be read out during the watching of “The Incredible Hulk” that will make the experience of viewing the movie as educational as it is entertaining! Guaranteed to alter your popularity forever!

Well, I wasn’t sure if I’d manage it, but I’ve now reviewed every episode of Lost this series. My finale write up was far less enthusiastic than most, but that’s probably because I’ve become incredibly good at predicting where the show’s going after 12 weeks of closely examining each episode. Ah well! Same time next year for Season 5?

This week’s column on Den of Geek is about Ang Lee’s Hulk film, and a few reasons why it was rubbish, even from the perspective of a comics fan. It’s titled as a response/companion to John Moore’s “Why Ang Lee’s Hulk Rules” although it was pure coincidence the two went up on the same day!

With all kinds of characters repeatedly coming back to life in comics, I write about 5 deaths that you can be certain aren’t ever going to get reversed. Probably.
