Fans of the CW’s Arrowverse has had the pleasure to see many good characters grow into great heroes, but it’s time to honor a very special one. In honor of Black History Month, I’ve decided to highlight one of my favorite Black characters: John Diggle. (This has Arrow spoilers, so be sure to catch up before you read!) From an […]
Since 2012, Arrow has entertained millions of viewers and paved the way for a new era of superheroes on television. The hit CW show has had its fair share of poor writing, but rest assured that the series ended as strong as it started. Directed by the now legendary James Bamford and written by co-creator Marc Guggenheim and showrunner Beth […]
The CW has managed to surpass all expectations yet again. It’s no easy feat to make a 5-hour anything consistently entertaining, but the network just does it anyway. Why? Because they can. It’s been said plenty of times about superhero live adaptations and it’ll be said again, but Crisis on Infinite Earths is truly an ambitious crossover. Marv Wolfman’s 1986 […]
It was announced earlier today that a Code 8 spinoff is in the works at Quibi. Launching on April 6, 2020, Quibi is a short-form video platform backed by major studios like Sony Pictures, Walt Disney Studios, Warner Bros., and more! The Code 8 spinoff has yet to be named (I volunteer Code 9), but takes place a few years […]
Dr. Harleen Quinzel a.k.a. Harley Quinn has been a staple of DC lore for years and while she has made appearances in various animated shows, animated movies and live-action ones (including the upcoming Birds of Prey), she is one comical character who hasn’t had her own series and it left many always wondering ‘why?’. Well, now we finally have just […]
This Sunday, a crisis is coming. CW’s Crisis on Infinite Earths starts Sunday December 8th at 8pm EST with Supergirl. This is a five-night crossover based on a graphic novel that’s about a half-inch thick. After nearly six years of build up, the crossover will cover six shows: The Flash, Batwoman, Arrow, Supergirl, Legends of Tomorrow, and for the first […]
It was announced last month that BoJack Horseman would end after its sixth season, which would be split in half. The first half premiered last Friday, October 25, and the second half is set to come out January 31. The news came as a surprise to me. I knew the show wasn’t getting as much attention as the newer Netflix […]
It was announced this March that the eighth season of Arrow will be the its final with a ten-episode run. The announcement surprised many fans and critics, but ultimately appeared to be the right move. The CW series has been on the air for seven years and revolutionized superhero TV as a whole, making the specific genre more popular and […]
Think you’re tired of superhero adaptations? Think you’ve seen it all? You’re wrong. Check out Batwoman. The CW Arrowverse show twists the classic superhero tropes to make for a deliciously promising tale of a young woman struggling to find her path. It’s relatable until she just ultimately chooses vigilantism instead of community college. Set before the Elseworlds crossover from last […]
I said it once and I’ll say it again: Euphoria is a much-needed relief. The HBO show diverts from the glamorized on-screen youth we’ve seen too many times, the kind that makes us absurdly wish we were back in high school. Euphoria doesn’t fool us like that; they treat us right by showing the ugly truth about growing up in […]
Disney Channel has ordered Marvel’s Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur, an original animated series based on Marvel’s hit comic books, from Disney Television Animation.

The news was announced yesterday by Laurence Fishburne during Disney Television Animation’s panel at Disney’s D23 Expo. Fishburne said, “As an avid comic book fan, I am […]

The show features legendary martial artist and movie star Iko Uwais (The Raid films, The Night Comes for Us), Katheryn Winnick (Vikings), Tommy Flanagan (Sons of Anarchy), […]
Season finales seldom do this, but Arrow’s season seven finale answered more questions than were asked. If you haven’t seen the episode yet, catch it online, and then be sure to check out this article afterward. If you have seen it, I hope you get what I’m talking about. We’ve been asking ourselves more and more questions with every episode […]
Geeks of Color is proud to show you a sneak peak at the new series, The Red Line, produced by Ava DuVernay! The Red Line follows three Chicago families as they journey toward hope and healing after an unarmed African American doctor is shot by a white cop. The tragedy causes the families to consider how race and racial biases […]
Author’s Note: I know ‘Supernatural’ is not what we usually cover here at GOC, but this place is my home and my family, and this show is part of it and who I am. I really need to express myself over this, no matter how silly it may seem. Don’t tell me what’s wrong with the show and why you […]
Look, it’s 2019 and by now everyone should know why representation matters. But if I must, I’ll tell it like it is: when you’re not represented in media, it doesn’t feel like you’re ever being seen. Yes, as blunt as that sounds, not seeing people like us depicted in mainstream media does affect the way we perceive ourselves. That’s why […]
