The year is over and we're already moving on to 2018, but before we begin to forget about the year that was, a few of us here at Atomic Geekdom decided to live in the past for this article. Here's our choices for the best of 2017 in Film, TV, Books, Music, and more!
Geoff Johns
Titans & Young Justice: Outsiders Will Debut In 2018!
What Should We Reboot Today?
Reboots are a hot commodity. Studios are always looking for the next property they can reinvent. Reboots can bring in an already established fan base and invite a brand new audience to delight in rebooted goodness. And while there are some films that definitely should not be touched, looking at you Back to the Future, there are a lot more that deserve to have another go around. Here are five films and one TV show that I think Hollywood should seriously consider:
What the Return of Wally West Means to Me
I have no idea at what point in my life I was introduced to The Flash. I don’t how old I was, if it was from a comic, a show, a conversation or even which Flash I knew about first. Best guess, it was a passing glance of the ‘90s TV show on CBS starring John Wesley Shipp. And whatever it was, however I found out about him, the character consumed me. Suddenly I ate, slept, breathed and farted The Flash and super speed. I would argue to death that there’s no way a lame-o hero like Superman could beat The Flash in a race…The Flash’s whole power set is speed! I don’t think I picked up a comic until I was in my late teens but when I did, I started with The Flash. And the only Flash I had ever known was Wally West.
New Trailer for 'Suicide Squad'!
Tonight after the return of The Flash, The CW aired two specials. The first was called DC's Legends of Tomorrow: Their Time Is Now, which gave us a closer look at the upcoming new series that debuts on Thursday. The second special, titled DC Films Presents: Dawn of the Justice League gave us all a look at what DC has in store for their cinematic universe including Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, Suicide Squad, and sneak peak look at production on Wonder Woman. The special was hosted by Kevin Smith and Geoff Johns and these fine gentlemen also gave us a new trailer for the Worst. Heroes. Ever, Suicide Squad.

Ongoing: Forever Evil #7
Welcome to the first edition of Ongoing. Ongoing will be my comic book review article that I'll post every week, hopefully twice a week in which I'll pick up a book (new or old) and review it to the best of my ability. I'll also take suggestions from you guys as to what I should be reading and reviewing. And this week I read the conclusion to Geoff Johns Forever Evil storyline. Be warned, there will be spoilers in this review.
My Comic Book Biography
As we’ve just started this site, I thought it might be a good idea to give you guys some insight into how my Comic Book Geekdom all started. Once I’ve finished rambling coherently (I hope), the plan is for you all to share some of these things as well and we can begin our Atomic Geekdom Community. This place is designed for you all to give your opinions on everything we talk about.
