Meet the Team
Jackie Daytona
Editor in Chief
A variety geek who enjoys geeking out with friends over video games, comics, or movies/TV shows. An avid wrestling fan since the days of the Attitude Era and N64’s No Mercy, he now spends much of his time reading and collecting comics. All of my puns are intended.
Kristin Sauceda
Associate Editor/Public Relations
A bibliophile geek who enjoys reading both novels and comics but has always had a love of video games. She has been working her way through classic games she didn’t have a chance to play like Mass Effect, Uncharted, and Dragon Age.
Dani Barroso
Associate Editor
In my spare time, I like to go on long walks with my dog Chewie, go to concerts, read comics, watch spoopy movies, and if time permits play some video games with the guys. For more about me, and my random adventures follow me on social media!
Be excellent to each other and always rock out.
Chris Dailey
Managing Editor
A jack of many trades, but a master of none, Chris dabbles in many nerdy hobbies including toy collecting, reading comics, writing fiction, reading novels, and playing video games. He’s also a huge wrestling fan, and knows more about it than most normal people should.
When he’s not writing or hosting podcasts for Geek Network, he can be found listening to podcasts and hanging out with his wife, his two daughters, and his little dog Gertie.

A comic nerd at heart who once aspired to be an artist now freely shares his opinions on these subjects and many more along with his love for whiskey & the dreaded F-bomb. As Rowdy Roddy Piper would say, he’s all out of bubble gum……but not action figures.
