Author: Levi Irwin
[Narrated by John Cleese]
There is a little known fact about Levi Irwin, also known as RetroInactive on twitter and in small villages throughout Taipei: He has never, nor does he ever intend to watch the movie "Grease". This quest to a live life without ever watching this film is steadfast, but might be overtaken by his larger desire to be the best dad ever, and will invariably have to take his daughter to see the film or play upon her earnest and unceasing requests. He prays that day will never come.
Aside from his unending avoidance of, as he puts it, “soul killing, awful musicals”, Levi is a devoted husband of 11 years to a lovely, yet very ungeeky wife, and a father of two children, Riley and Giovanni, who you may have seen as the true stars of his RetroInactive Youtube channel with their shows "Ask Riley" and "Back In My Day A-Z"
As an artist, illustrator, graphic designer, video producer, musician, chiptune and score composer, hip hop producer (true story), and sometimes writer, Levi enjoys finding new creative outlets. He is constantly in search of new and exciting media to get just good enough to put them on his résumé.
Among his geeky pursuits, video games and Star Wars top his list. He loves old toys, Chuck Palahnuik books, games throughout all generations, especially Call of Duty, for him to practice his other passion, shooting stuff. Like, for real. Blowing things up with an actual rifle and he's alarmingly good at it too. He always felt he should have been a hitman. Perhaps it's the Sicilian blood that runs through his veins, or the 80's action movies he watched as a child. Whatever the case, Levi never did pursue life as a mafia assassin, but instead chose a humble life of loving his family, playing video games, and convincing his young children that stealth kills in Far Cry 3 were making the bad guys "take naps".
Here on GWW, Levi will be largely covering comic books, a source of geekdom he's not kept up with since the late 90's. So "what the hell" he says and will report on what's new to him and to see if this forgotten love of graphic novels can be rekindled.
