Superhero Week: This Is War teaser pictures
Marvel are planning something for October. It’s called “This is War” and has been teased by a series of images. One image features a broken Mjolnir, Wolverine in flames, a bloody Captain America shield, a bullet drilled Iron Man and Spider-man with a rifle at his heart. The final image adds Punisher War Zone and […]
Realm of LARP video
The Nerdist have put together a web-based reality show that follows a group of LARPers. I know – cause for concern. LARP has a long history of getting very bad coverage from anything that records moving pictures. Mind you, let’s consider some recent attempts. Leeds Student TV produced LARPing around which was pretty good at […]

Why not armour yourself with some superhero karma? Channel some goodness by donning a superhero cap! These caps run the range of subtle “they could be a sports cat” to “yeah! superhero” in style. For that, the collection gets the Geek Native thumbs up. No wonder they’re the store’s top selling superhero caps! Superhero Week […]
Pinnacle reloads Hell on Earth
Pinnacle Entertainment have made a Savage Worlds version of Hell on Earth available. Hell on Earth Reloaded, by Shane Lacy Hensley, hit the virtual shelves on the 28th.

Artists Andrea Rhodes and Saul Ruiz have a collection of some Gotham’s troublesome women. A […]

The five in the series of teaser-style webisode clips for the transmedia Collider project is out. In it we’re reminded of what a worrier Peter is. Then there are the dad issues… Geek Native has an interview with the brains behind the series; Nuno Bernardo as well as the lead writer in the comic series […]
Gamers win in the Fantasy Flight and Stronghold “Merchant of Venus” showdown
Back in October 2011, Geek Native posted about game companies battling over Merchant of Venus. It was an awkward situation. Stronghold games signed a deal with the game’s designer and announced a new edition of Merchant of Venus. At the same time, Fantasy Flight Games announced a new edition of Merchant of Venus after signing […]
Primeval RPG – now open for pre-orders
You can now pre-order your copy of the Primeval RPG from Cubicle 7’s store. Primeval began life as a British sci-fi TV show in which a rather motley group of scientists find themselves investigating anomalies in time. These anomalies manifest as sparkling, magnetic, portals which allow creatures from the past (or the future) to access […]
Superhero Week: LEGO superheroes
Our second post in Superhero Week is to look at some LEGO heroes. There are some impressive LEGO builds out there but my favourite may well be Superman and Young Justice versus Brainiac in a battle around The Daily Planet building. There are easier ways to get started with superhero LEGO. The company has both […]
