I’m a long time self-admitted geek of the Star Trek variety.  I fell in love with Star Trek: TNG when I found it during its 4th season, and have never looked back.

Erik is both a sci-fi Aliens, Predator, Star Trek sort of Geek…and a horror Geek…and a few other Geeks I don’t understand.

Denver found Star Trek with the re-invention of Star Trek. He’s moved on to go back in time (thank you, Netflix) and watch EVERY episode of EVERY incarnation, swiped Erik’s movies to watch EVERY movie. The documentaries and anniversary specials, too.  Since then he’s moved onto Battlestar Galactica, tried Dr. Who, and so on…

In the past eight or so months there’s a new sort of Geekling coming up in this house.

The girls are obsessed with all things Avengers.

Not just Avengers, though.

Comics.

They are making comics left and right – the one in this post was one of their first. One page, simple, with the battle of their beloved Avengers.

The obsession has grown so that their coloring books are painted on the front and back covers with comics. They swipe my printer paper and draw panels to fill in their stories.  From super hero tales to stories about their cats…they are comic booking it up.

I, admittedly, am slightly clueless about comics. My Geek flag didn’t fly that far, even when I began my X-men addiction. I only have a few of those comics.

So we’ll venture into another realm of geekery.

Now…excuse me while I try to find some art classes for them…and seek out the perfect first comic for them both.

And considering their propensity to tear up anything they own, it will have to be one that it doesn’t matter if it ends up damaged.
