The Dark Side of The Force: The Misunderstood Side
One aspect that is present in any Star Wars related media is The Force. Whether it is used by the Jedi or the Sith, the force is everywhere in the Star Wars galaxy. Even people who are not able to manipulate it acknowledge its existence. Everyone also knows that there is the light side of the force, and the dark side of the force. The light side is associated with the Jedi, and the dark side with the Sith. Although it is viewed as evil, and even labeled the dark side, it is not inherently evil. It is just misunderstood, and at the mercy of an organization that gives it a bad name.

Most Iconic Women in Rock
Rock music is full of icons, from individual artists who changed the way that we experience music to looks that shaped the fashion of a decade, but who are the most iconic women in rock? As in most things, the contributions of women to rock are often overlooked or underplayed. As a result many people may not be able to think of very many female artists, even if they love the songs that those women have produced. In order to help fight back against this unfortunate system, we have established this list, in no particular order, of the most iconic women in rock.

'Star Wars' Fan Favorite Kindle Comic Books
Comic books are gateways to the broader universe of Star Wars. My favorite aspect of the comic book medium is the way the art can create a whole new visual take on the Star Wars story, or simply reinforce the pictures in your mind from childhood. Star Wars was unique in the world of pop culture franchises. It began first with the movie and then with the comic books. Ironically it has always been a world where the written word had to do justice to the visual, not vice versa, which is more often the case. Perhaps that is why such close attention to detail whether it be the art, the dialogue or the script, is what makes these Star Wars Kindle comics some of the big fan favorites.

Plus Size Cosplayers You Need to Know
Plus size cosplayers are making waves in the geek world. If you have ever been to a comic convention, you have seen these badass women walking the floors dressed as everything from Poison Ivy to Gandalf. These ladies consistently prove that you do not need to be a size zero to look good and you do not need to be a man to enjoy nerdy things. However, there are some self-proclaimed gatekeepers of geek culture who may not agree, who shame and harass these ladies because they do not fit their idea of a cosplayer. Here are some of the many unapologetic plus size cosplayers who prove the haters wrong day after day.
