Introducing the Minnesota Comic Book Association (MNCBA)

Oct 26, 2023 | twincitiesgeek.com | Hal Bichel

On Saturday, the Bloomington Armory will host the Minnesota Comic Book Association’s FallCon comic convention. It’s the second convention for this new local comic fan association, whose inaugural event, SpringCon, took place at the same venue earlier this year. If your reaction to that information is that you’re pretty sure SpringCon and FallCon are not, in fact, new conventions, you’re sort of right. The conventions aren’t new, but the organization hosting them is. Again. Sort of.
Worldbuilding Falls Flat in A Prayer for Vengeance

Oct 9, 2023 | twincitiesgeek.com | Hannah Testa

Leanne Schwartz’s debut novel, A Prayer for Vengeance, looks like a straightforward tale of retribution on the surface: the story of a warrior hellbent on punishing those who did her wrong, with the Pygmalion twist that she was turned into a statue and has recently been awoken by an unassuming young man praying to what he believed was an inanimate object.

Convention-goers were treated to a one-of-a-kind event at the famed Minneapolis Club, which transformed into the fabled X-Mansion on September 16 and 17, 2023.
The Northman Is a Dark and Brutal Viking Revenge Tale

Oct 7, 2023 | twincitiesgeek.com | Mark McPherson |Mark Mcpherson

In 2022’s The Northman, Robert Eggers made pretty much exactly the type of Viking movie you’d expect him to. His previous pictures, The Witch and The Lighthouse, were brilliantly dark and surrealist depictions of historical horror. This one is very much in that same camp, perhaps even more straightforwardly than the others. The result is a film about revenge within Viking tribes that works as both a brutal action epic and a contemplation of existentialism.
The Creator’s Story Doesn’t Measure Up to Its Breathtaking Visuals

Sep 29, 2023 | twincitiesgeek.com | Dave McKay

Undeniably, as a visual and emotional experience, Gareth Edwards‘s much-anticipated film The Creator is breathtaking. With its spellbinding special effects and mesmerizing CGI combined with moments of profound emotional intensity, it feels as if it reaches into the depths of your soul. Yet its beauty obscures its imperfections. When you’re so swept up in the drama, it’s easy to overlook the cracks that appear upon closer inspection.
