Comic books have been popular in the nerd culture for decades, spawning many fanatics to write blogs with their opinions. NerdsinBabeland is a blog dedicated to reviewing comics (both mainstream and obscure) as well as popular TV series. Is this blog worth looking at?

What makes this blog interesting is that it's relatable to both younger and older generations of the science fiction fan-base. It reviews comics and shows like Star Trek, Star Wars, and even Sailor Moon in addition to other various titles. In one post it even goes as far as to give advice in "How to Date a Non-Nerd". Despite how ridiculous "How to Date a Non-Nerd" sounds, the majority of the blog posts are serious, critically reviewing and aptly informed.

Our Quality Critique:

• Aesthetically Pleasing: 5

• Frequency: 4

For the amount of contributors of the blog, the frequency of posts were low, posting weekly to bi-weekly.

The writing was well though out and informative, but lacked entertainment value, color.
