The way it used to be, being a geek was the millstone around our necks. Now, there’s never been a better time to be out and proud. Whether you are someone who prides yourself on the various collectibles in your comic book collection, or you are more than happy discussing the finer points of the […]
Movies. Music. Television. Video Games. Animation. If there is one theme that all these mediums have explored, then it would be: Love. Many of us are brought up on this idea of ‘The One’. However, when we start to enter actual romantic relationships, we learn that romances are rarely like the movies and songs we’ve […]

So, I grew up watching wrestling. It’s been part of my life for most of my days. I started watching during the Hogan era, with guys like The Hulkster, Randy Savage and The Ultimate Warrior on top of the WWF. I saw the New Generation arrive, with guys like Bret Hart, Diesel and Shawn Michaels […]
So, fans of WWE (and wrestling in general) will likely have heard the latest news that Paul Heyman and Eric Bischoff, two mainstays of pro-wrestling for decades, have been given brand-new roles in WWE as Executive Directors of Raw and Smackdown Live respectively. These, as far as news has told us, aren’t on-screen roles, but […]
Recently DC announced that Tom King would be leaving the main Batman title at the end of the year and continuing his story in the Batman & Catwoman book. No matter your thoughts on that news the biggest question now is who takes up the reigns as the new Batman writer? It is a big […]
On the second weekend of June I attended the inaugral Milton Keynes Film and Comic Con. There is already a review of it up elsewhere on Nerdly, but now I am going to do another comic covention/eBay comparison, I hope it isn’t too hot on the heels of the previous one. In a nutshell it […]
It’s indisputable that WWE put out an incredibly vast amount of content. Just in a week, and not mentioning their social media content or original WWE Network programming, we see RAW, SmackDown, NXT, NXT UK, 205 Live and more. We get at least one, sometimes more than one, PPV or Special each month too. That’s […]
I’ve been a fan of pro-wrestling for over 27 years and in that time I’ve been a fan of so many promotions within the landscapes of wrestling. In the early 90s when I started watching wrestling the big two companies were WWE(F) and WCW. I remember buying VHS tapes for both companies, leaning much heavier […]
The announcement of DC shutting down the Vertigo imprint was certainly a sad day for comics, however, it has been inevitable for some time. DC did recently try to relaunch Vertigo with a slew of new titles to bring life back to the brand, but despite critical acclaim for many of those series, it was […]
You know… I don’t think many of today’s wrestling fans, the casual viewers anyway, realise just how f@cking good tag team wrestling can be. It isn’t hard to find a good tag team match nowadays. I mean, all you have to do is watch an NXT TakeOver Special and it’s likely you’ll see a blinding […]
In the new horror thriller Child’s Play, a boy is given a Buddi doll – an amazing walking, talking toy, powered by Artificial Intelligence, so it’s like having your own little pal to play with. Unfortunately, the doll appears to have a somewhat sinister side, which means Buddi doesn’t act quite like it says in […]
Welcome to another installment of Weekly Picks where I take a look at the comics I am most excited about for this upcoming New Comic Book Day. Keep in mind I have yet to read these books so this is based solely on expectations. Sometimes expectations can get the best of us so I try […]
What makes a great comic cover? For me, a comic cover is part of the storytelling process. It can set expectations, provide foreshadowing to what is to come, and possibly even set wrong expectations for the purpose of subverting them. Thinking back to my youth when you would have those covers with, “Only one will […]
Welcome back to another installment of Panel Discussion, this time featuring Dan’s top picks for this week in comics. Before I get into what this article is I need to get into what it is not. First I am basing this list not off of my thoughts on each issue rather my expectations. Based on […]
Welcome to the latest installment in our regular Movies You May Have Missed series here on Nerdly, in which I highlight some of, what I think, are the best movies that have flown under the radar of many or have been “forgotten” in the intervening years since its release. This time round its the horror […]
When WCW closed its doors all the way back in 2001 it was a huge day in the history of pro-wrestling. It was the day that the BIG TWO wrestling companies in the world became the BIG ONE. WWE had survived the “Monday Night Wars” and the battle between Ted Turner’s WCW and Vince McMahon’s […]
