Star Trek legend Leonard Nimoy made an appearance at the DEMO Enterprise Disruption event last night in San Francisco, where the actor talked in length about his career, his early fan encounters, space travel, first contact, and the SETI program, as well as Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home (the one with the whales).

You can watch the 24-minute video of Nimoy on stage here below.

The actor, who's best known for his role as Spock in the original Star Trek television series and movies, was the special guest speaker at the Technology & Innovation Talk, hosted by Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak, who later joined Nimoy on stage [...]]]> http://www.geeksofdoom.com/2012/01/06/video-leonard-nimoy-steve-wozniak-at-the-enterprise-disruption-event/feed/ 0 http://www.geeksofdoom.com/2011/11/18/convention-round-up-first-annual-comikaze-expo/ http://www.geeksofdoom.com/2011/11/18/convention-round-up-first-annual-comikaze-expo/#comments Fri, 18 Nov 2011 17:00:02 +0000 RoughJustice http://www.geeksofdoom.com/?p=121815

As a Southern California native I have been spoiled with comic and multimedia conventions. I have San Diego Comic Con to the south and Long Beach Comic Con to the north; the only thing I was missing was a convention at the Los Angeles Convention Center. Recently, my prayers to various Norse gods were answered in the form of Comikaze held at the Los Angeles Convention Center on November 5 and 6.

When I envision a comic, horror, anime, and gaming convention in its first year, I instantly picture 7 to 10 guys in a very poorly lit motel conference room. Comikaze definitely had its up's and down's in terms of pure geek culture you couldn't ask for something greater, but as someone who is at comic conventions year-round, there was some things left to be desired. I saw a lot of things I liked and a few things I was not so crazy about, so close your eyes (then open them) and let me take you on a journey of L.A's Comikaze [...]]]> http://www.geeksofdoom.com/2011/11/18/convention-round-up-first-annual-comikaze-expo/feed/ 1 http://www.geeksofdoom.com/2011/11/01/comikaze-expo-invades-l-a-this-weekend/ http://www.geeksofdoom.com/2011/11/01/comikaze-expo-invades-l-a-this-weekend/#comments Tue, 01 Nov 2011 16:07:53 +0000 RoughJustice http://www.geeksofdoom.com/?p=120315

Los Angeles will be hosting Comikaze on November 5th and 6th this year, and it's shaping up to be a really great convention. With a great-looking list of special guests and creators there will be plenty of appearances to please any comic, manga, sci-fi, and gaming fan. It's now official Stan "The Man" Lee will be making an appearance and doing signings with Desert Wind Comics, tickets are limited so make sure you grab them quick [...]]]> http://www.geeksofdoom.com/2011/11/01/comikaze-expo-invades-l-a-this-weekend/feed/ 1 http://www.geeksofdoom.com/2011/10/28/comics-of-doom-episode-99-nycc-2011-and-key-of-z-1/ http://www.geeksofdoom.com/2011/10/28/comics-of-doom-episode-99-nycc-2011-and-key-of-z-1/#comments Fri, 28 Oct 2011 21:20:19 +0000 Vactor http://www.geeksofdoom.com/?p=119330

Geeks of Doom was lucky enough to grab some screen time with Batman: Arkham City director Sefton Hill for a one-on-one video interview during last weekend's New York Comic-Con.

Hill talked about the newest game, what member of Batman's rogue gallery fans can expect this time around, and what his favorite Batman costume is.

The Photo Parade for last weekend's New York Comic-Con continues with the Sunday edition.

For any other convention, Sunday would be the slowest of all the convention days, but not at this Con, where the final day is Kid's Day. And at this time, it's just as busy as any other day and these pics prove it.

During last weekend's New York Comic-Con, Geeks of Doom got a chance to chat with Ashley Eckstein, star of the Star Wars: The Clone Wars television series and founder of Her-universe, a line of merchandise geared towards female sci-fan fans.

Eckstein took some time out of her busy schedule to give us some one-on-one screen time to discuss the creation of Her-Universe and the future of the company, which includes a deal with Disney Parks, as well as how she fared on a certain old school game show. She also dished on what's happening in Season 4 of Clone Wars and what's going on with her character.

Christos Gage and Rebekah Isaacs took some time out during last weekend's New York Comic-Con to talk to us about their latest comic book series, Angel and Faith.

Gage was happy to dish about what's next for the slayer and the vampire with a soul, the early praise for the Dark Horse comic book series, and what is next for the talented duo.

Geeks of Doom proudly presents a new video interview with Brian Wood and Becky Cloonan, the newest team on Dark Horse's Conan comic book series.

We met up with Wood and Cloonan during last weekend's New York Comic-Con, where they took some time out to chat with us one-on-one, revealing their plans for the character, Conan's new look, and some other interesting tidbits.

As promised, here is part two of the cosplay Geeks of Doom was able to capture on Saturday at the 2011 New York Comic-Con. I could go on and on about how cool these costumes are, but why not take a look and see for yourself?

The 2011 New York Comic Con on Saturday was nothing less than a madhouse. The Con this year felt like it was a lot bigger than last year but even with the extra space, it still felt like the building was about to burst. While walking down the aisles, one couldn't help but feel smothered by the mass of people coming from all sides. I guess it is true what they say: Mo' space, Mo' problems.

Thankfully, Geeks of Doom was still on hand to show you the cool costumes were present. Saturday was so packed, the photos taken there had to be split up into two parts, so enjoy this photo parade, Volume 1! Second half to come soon.

As always, if you see yourself in any of these photos, be sure to shout out and let us know! [...]

When you enter the New York Comic Con 2011 showroom floor, you expect to see a lot of super-heroes and sci-fi characters alike. The Javits Center in New York City probably has never seen this many crossovers and the crowds were something else.

Here are a few images captured on the Thursday's Preview Night and the opening day on Friday. More to come, dear readers. Stay tuned for photo round-ups for the rest of the weekend. For now, Enjoy!

Despite being a sequel to one of the worst films to come out of the recent golden age of comic book films, Ghost Rider: Spirit Of Vengeance has a ton going for it. Be it the creative team of Mark Neveldine and Brian Taylor (Crank) being behind the camera, or Nicolas Cage, Cirian Hinds, and Idris Elba being in front of it, this film has all the makings of an impressive step up.

And at this the 2011 New York Comic-Con this weekend, those in attendance at the film's panel got to see not only on some great, if not all that new, footage, but also a really great panel featuring the two aforementioned filmmakers [...]]]> http://www.geeksofdoom.com/2011/10/17/nycc-2011-ghost-rider-spirit-of-vengeance-will-be-a-hard-pg-13/feed/ 0
