Geek-Girl created by Sam Johnson

“Identity Crisis” Part 5: “Coming Together.”

Created by Sam Johnson, Geek-Girl is a comic book character that debuted in the 2016 Geek-Girl miniseries,  She returned in a second miniseries, 2018's Geek-Girl Vol. 2, which subsequently became an ongoing series.  Geek-Girl Vol. 2 is written by Sam Johnson; drawn by Carlos Granda; colored by Chunlin Zhao; and lettered by Paul McLaren.

Geek-Girl focuses on Ruby Kaye of Acorn Ridge, Maine, a sexy and popular college coed who inadvertently becomes a superhero.  Ruby dons a pair of super-tech eye glasses that give her super-powers.  Ruby's BFF, Summer James, then talks her into trying to be a superhero, even providing her with a moniker.  Now, Ruby is Maine's newest superhero, “Geek-Girl,” but the female super-villain, Identity Thief, has stolen her powers.

Geek-Girl #15 (“Coming Together.”) opens in the wake of Ruby's confrontation with Identity Thief in a bid to get her powers back.  Ruby is shocked to learn that Identity Thief also stole the powers of one of her most dangerous opponents, Lightning Storm.  But what did Identity Thief really steal.  With a little help from her friends, Ruby might finally defeat Identity Thief and get some answers.

Meanwhile, Summer has gained powers of her own via the power-sharing group, “The Hive.”  But does she really understand what she has gotten herself into and what it costs?

THE LOWDOWN:  Geek-Girl creator-writer Sam Johnson regularly sends me PDF review copies of the latest issues of Geek-Girl, and has been doing so for several years.  I enjoy reading about Geek-Girl and her (mis)adventures.  I like this comic book enough to keep encouraging you to give this addictive series a try, dear readers.

Geek-Girl #15 brings to an end the “Identity Thief” story arc that began in Geek-Girl #11.  Writer Sam Johnson wraps up this arc, but he also gifts his readers with plenty ghosts of Christmas-futures in the form of emerging subplots.  I don't want to say that this is my favorite issue, but I want to say that Johnson does what he does so often.  That is he makes an issue so good that you immediately want more, so this could be my favorite until the next issue.  Truth is that Johnson is quite good at writing superhero comic books, but how he does it is like no other writer.  Geek-Girl always seems fresh and is always crackling with energy, but without a reliance on decades of prior storytelling, as is the case with what is passing for the new hotness in current American comic books.

Artist Carlos Granda is quite good at capturing facial expressions and the quirkiness and oddness in the way people act in the context of emotions and speech.  That really serves him well in Geek-Girl #15, which has a hilarious bit about pronouns.  Granda has also created his own unique superhero storytelling language.  He is quietly moving beyond the expected and into new territories of naturalism, surrealism, and realism.  It seems like an impossible trio, but he is doing something new and something that is exiting to read.  Granda's excellent storytelling here shows all the more under Chunlin Zhao's excellent colors (as usual) and Paul McLaren's consistent lettering.

I enjoyed Geek-Girl #15, and I heartily recommend it to you, dear readers.  Geek-Girl captures the charm and magic of classic comic books and adds a clever modern touch.  I know that more of you will want to discover it.

I READS YOU RECOMMENDS:  Fans of lovable superheroes will find an all-around winner in Geek-Girl.

Review: Skadoosh! "KUNG FU PANDA 3" Finds Itself in the End

TRASH IN MY EYE No. 2 of 2025 (No. 2008) by Leroy Douresseaux

Kung Fu Panda 3 (2016)

Running time:  95 minutes (1 hour, 35 minutes)

MPAA – PG for martial arts action and some mild rude humor

DIRECTORS:  Jennifer Yuh Nelson and Alessandro Carloni

WRITERS:  Jonathan Aibel and Glenn Berger

PRODUCER:  Melissa Cobb

EDITOR: Clare Knight

COMPOSER:  Hans Zimmer

ANIMATION/MARTIAL ARTS/COMEDY/DRAMA

Starring:  (voices) Jack Black, Bryan Cranston, Dustin Hoffman, Angelina Jolie, J.K. Simmons, Seth Rogen, Lucy Liu, David Cross, Kate Hudson, James Hong, Randall Duk Kim, and Jackie Chan

Kung Fu Panda 3 is a computer-animated, martial arts and comic-fantasy film produced by DreamWorks Animation and distributed by 20th Century Fox.  It is the third entry in the Kung Fu Panda film series.  In Kung Fu Panda 3, Po must finally discover if he is really the legendary Dragon Warrior when faced with a threat to everything dear to him.

Kung Fu Panda 3 opens in the Spirit Realm.  There, Master Oogway (Randall Duk Kim) fights General Kai (J.K. Simmons), his former friend, who has attacked him.  Kai is a yak and spirit warrior who has defeated all the other deceased kung fu masters and has also stolen their vital energy or “chi” (here, personified at a flat jade stone).  Kai steals Oogway's chi, but Oogway warns Kai that someone is destined to stop him.  Kai returns to the Mortal Realm where he plans to destroy Oogway's legacy.

Meanwhile, in the Valley of Peace, Po (Jack Black), the giant panda, is living his best life as the legendary “Dragon Warrior.”  Master Shifu (Dustin Hoffman) surprisingly announces that he is retiring from teaching and names Po as his successor.  Although he does not believe that he can replace his master, Po finds that he is suddenly supposed to teach his friends and fellow kung fu masters, the legendary Furious Five:  Tigress (Angelina Jolie), Crane (David Cross), Mantis (Seth Rogen), Viper (Lucy Liu), and Monkey (Jackie Chan).

Another surprise comes with the arrival of Li Shan (Bryan Cranston), a giant panda who turns out to be Po's father, which upsets Mr. Ping (James Hong), the Chinese goose who is Po's adoptive father.  The excitement is tempered by the fact that Kai has begun his assault, but Po and company learn that Kai can only be defeated by a true master of chi.  Po and Ping follow Li to the secret panda village where Li claims he can teach Po to master Chi.  Now, Po must learn who he really is?  Is he truly the Dragon Warrior and does he know himself enough to reach the Dragon Warrior's legendary destiny?

Like Kung Fu Panda (2008) and Kung Fu Panda 2 (2011), Kung Fu Panda 3 does have some really nice fight scenes.  I had avoided it until I realized that I really wanted to see Kung Fu Panda 4 (2024), which meant I had to see the third film first.  The film has the requisite visual splendor of dazzling colors, impressive production design, and superb character animation, However, this third part in the series is more about growth and development and about the transformation and inner journey of a character that is also known as the “character arc.”

Kung Fu Panda 3 is about Po finding out who he is and also about him learning to embrace what he can do – his destiny.  He is meant to be the Dragon Warrior, he simply needs to believe it and also to understand that he cannot do it alone.  Along the way, Kung Fu Pa 3 embraces the idea of families – traditional and blended.  This film also has plenty of playful new characters (Kate Hudson's Mei Mei, the ribbon dancing panda) and rascally young'uns characters that are meant to engage younger audience members.

Kung Fu Panda 3 does meander quite a bit during its first act and also during quite a bit of its second or middle act.  However, the film embraces it story of characters discovering that they are more than they know and that they can have more than one role in the lives of the people they love.  This film has a scary villain in J.K. Simmons' General Kai, but he is just a side piece in the arc of Po's struggle.  Kung Fu Panda 3 is really about the most difficult and consequential part of Po's journey – the journey into himself.  Skadoosh!
