Comics, videogames, toys and more – Nerdage.
Welcome to Nerdage, your source for comics, video game, sci-fi, fantasy, toy and other geekish items! We hope to bring you fresh perspectives on some of the most important news in several pop-culture categories. I’m Matt Price, and I’m the head writer for the blog; I’ll be joined initially by Greg Elwell, who conducts the comics podcast on NewsOK.com with me.While for years, I decried the use of “nerd” for people who were simply into stuff that was cool, I’ve come around. After $800 million in box office receipts for “Spider-Man” and a $170 million launch for “Halo 3,” we’ve won, anyway: Nerd culture is our culture.
My background in the field goes back a ways — I started working at comic book stores in high school, and I’ve owned a Norman-based comic book store for nearly a decade.
I have a journalism degree from OU, and, after working at a few other papers, came to the Oklahoman in 2000, where I began writing about comics and video games for the Weekend LOOK section.
Greg and I started the comics podcast earlier this year, and we hope to combine and expand our nerd-based coverage in 2008 and beyond through Nerdage.
