Poet Geoff Trenchard and artist Ryan Hanson have collaborated on adapting Geoff's chilling poem "Joker: Year One" (soon to be featured in the upcoming anthology MultiVerse)into a short comic, and you can see the finished result right here.  We love it when when our worlds collide!   (Share it with the hashtag #JokerY1)

One of the great things about the poetry slam community is its diversity of voice, because, well, real talk--it's a pretty diverse group of people.  The best kept secret of slam (to everyone except the poets) is that it's populated by a large cadre of unapologetic nerds.   If you're reading this, you're aware that we're doing what we can to spotlight our love of all things pop culture, and now a shining new light hits the internet in the form of a new website, Black Nerd Problems.   The brainchild of poet and nerd visionary William Evans, BNP gives you a heaping helping of all the latest nerd happenings filtered through the lens of--yep--black nerds.  Check out the cosplay coverage by Lauren Bullock and get on board with their podcast, "Vibranium Stacks"!

We're clearly always psyched to hear of other literary journals devoted to aspects of pop culture, so it's a no-brainer for us to be geeked about this amazing new journal, Cartridge Lit!   They're looking for your fiction, nonfiction, and poetry devoted to all things video game related, and submissions are open, so gather your Mario musings, your Fallout fanfic, your 8-bit ruminations and send them to the visionaries at C-Lit right here!  Cartridge Lit...where the game is never over!

In the same government warehouse where things like The Ark of The Covenant and Dick Cheney's Old Heart reside, someone unearthed this VHS copy of That One Time When The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Were On Oprah.   This...is that episode.   And if this doesn't inspire about 70 poems, you may be dead inside.
