A week is a very long time in the geekverse, with so many talking points it'd be hard for even a vigilante (The Punisher / Condor Man, take your pick) to keep up.
So, we've gathered all the week's biggest geek news in one place, so that those aforementioned undead can get on with the very serious business of killing people / dressing like a bird.
