It’s Takeover week here on The Geek Show Network, and since we were so rudely shoved out of our usual seat by the boys from Cinema Eclectica we decided to run riot over the crazy paved paths of Literary Loitering.    So how does one cram superheroes into art and literature, or literary characters into comics? That’s what we’re here to find out …   After that it’s time for our slice of comic-book goodness which this week include Symbiote Spider-man, Jack Staff by Paul Grist, and the audio-book Thor: Metal Gods from Serial Box.

Paul and Hank spend a lot of their time this week playing Diablo III: Reaper of Souls and loving every minute of it. Due to this, Paul revisits Diablo II to his disappointment. Speaking of disappointment, BloodLust Shadowhunters fails to impress in its current state as well. Meanwhile, Hank reads some great comics like Sex Criminals and Jack Staff and gets weirded out by Marvelous Melmo. Also, Battlefield 4 looks great!

Tom Katers sits in for a vacationing Wooooode, wringing his trademark blend of wry humor out of topics like Brightest Day, The Smurfs from Peyo and Papercutz, One Piece and Silver Age sensibilities, Paul Grist's The Weird World of Jack Staff, Queen and Country, Dexter, Tom Defalco and Archie: The Man from Riverdale, Simpsons Comics #168 from Bongo, Locke and Key: Welcome to Lovecraft and Keys to the Kingdom from Joe Hill and Gabriel Rodriguez, Showcase: Enemy Ace and Essential Man-Thing volume one, Howard Chaykin, Angelus #1-4 from Top Cow, The Luna Bros' and The Sword, Bakuman volume one from Shonen Jump/Viz Media, The Return of Bruce Wayne, JMS, Kanigher's Wonder Woman, and a whole mess more!
