It’s been over a month since the first post where we let you know what awesome geek finds we were spotting locally. I’ve been popping over to Target and Walmart the past few weeks and they’ve both got some great geek items in stock right now.

When it comes to girly comic fashions, DC definitely has a corner on the market. There are a few companies that make my inner Marvel geek happy though, and one I’ve definitely thrown my money at more than once is Tokidoki.
