The Geeky Nerfherder 9th Anniversary & My 2020 Favourites

2020, in hindsight, was not exactly a standard year, and to be honest, just glad we're nearly done with it!
 
But with all that has gone on in the world outside, and the cancellation of so many activities that I took as the norm - visits to the cinemas, attending comic cons, browsing comic shops, rummaging through secondhand bookstores, etc, there has still been enough things to escape with in a geeky and nerdy bubble; such as as enjoying new TV series, books, comics, and games. And I've listed a few of my favourites from 2020 below.
 
It's also a Happy Birthday to The Geeky Nerfherder, as it's been 9 years to the day since this nerdy blog began with a blog post way back on this day in 2011. The Geeky Nerfherder, is a one man band, just me, Andy, and has come a long way over the years, but the aim is always to showcase awe-inspiring art, whether it's poster art, comic art, cover art or art from the latest new contemporary exhibitions, and the artists that make them.

My social media profiles, where I sometimes post bonus content, such as the #OnThisDay feature where I post some of my favourite films, books, comics that were first released or published on a particular date, continues to gain new followers, with the number of followers now in the thousands! WOW! Thank you so much!! It's always great to know that people are also enjoying the artworks I'm posting and hopefully discovering new artists along the way as well. But if you’re not already following, here are the links to my social media profiles:

I continue to feature the latest poster releases and highlighting some of the pop culture inspired and new contemporary art shows on the blog, as well as my 'Artist Spotlight' series showcasing art from some of my favourite artists, plus beginning each day with an #ArtOfTheDay post. I'm also trying to add more reviews of the books and movies I read and watch over the year.

As always, a big thanks to everyone that drops by the blog and/or follows me through the various socials I post to. I hope that you continue to enjoy my posts of cool art and pop culture geekery.

And so, it's that time of year once again, where everybody lists all their favourites from the year, and here are mine:
