There he is. Right behind this girl’s ear, telling her all kinds of Jedi secrets. (via Fashionably Geek)

Also from Fashionably Geek: A sneak peek at the new Star Wars tote bag from Her Universe!

Etsy shop IntarsiaDesign is selling this Inspector Spacetime t-shirt, and we thought some of you would like to know about it. (via So Geek Chic)

  • Graeme McMillan at Spinoff Online wants this dystopian society, end-of-the-world, apocalyptic trend (as seen in The Walking Dead, The Hunger Games, and Dark Tower) to end. Because it’s a bummer.
  • DC Comics and Albany, New York’s own Earthworld Comics are teaming up to bring soldiers in Afghanistan their very own Free Comic Book Day! (via Bleeding Cool)
  • We’re really psyched for Jennifer Lawrence, who plays Katniss Everdeen in The Hunger Games, especially since early reviews are very positive for the movie, and that could mean one, two, or possibly three sequels. But what does this mean for Lawrence’s role in a possible sequel to X-Men: First Class, in which she played Mystique? (via Nerd Bastards)

    • Finally, another trailer for Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter, because it’s about Abraham Lincoln as a vampire hunter. (via Screen Rant)

      … the Spider-Man argument is the most nonsensical grammar/style argument I’ve seen… and it’s totally awesome :D

      Well, I absolutely love post-apocalyptic stuff … it probably comes from being raised around lots of decaying buildings and machines, as a kid it fired my imagination and continues to do so :-)

      Graeme McMillan  doesn’t seem to understand that dystopian and post apocalyptic fiction aren’t the same thing. In fact the best dystopian fiction has everything looking perfect and wonderful from the outside.

      The only problem is when they decide that if humans lose their microwaves and refridgerators they just resort to cannibalism.

      Agreed, though I did like the way Doomsday portrayed it as a spectacle/ritual/execution all rolled into one (rather than “oh, we’re short on meat today so lets cook up Shaun”)

      And much of the best post-apocalyptic fiction is set where there is no society to be dystopian (or there are often rudimentary societal structures trying to establish themselves, often modeled on societies from history, which aren’t dystopian either)
