Internet obsession object Nathan Fillion has not only been dubbed the "Geek God" by Entertainment Weekly, but he's also on the cover of this week's issue sporting a Green Lantern t-shirt.
You can read some of the cover story here.

…ok, I think I’m out of internet memes.
I heard his interview on the Nerdist Podcast a few weeks ago, and it turns out that not only is he awesome in a lot of stuff he’s in, but he’s just a genuinely cool dude. Good for him on the cover story.
I’m in lesbians with this.
why? I’ve been a “geek” for all my nearly 30 years and I don’t get the love for this guy at all. All I’ve seen him in a few episodes of firefly which just put me to sleep. Not trying to be “negative internet guy” here I’m genuinely curious.
@clintaa You just need to look beyond Firefly (which, IMO, was actually pretty darn great. But I didn’t discover it until DVD.) His Dr. Horrible work was hialrious, he’s done voice work for such animated fare as Wonder Woman, the upcoming Green Lantern: Emerald Knights, Robot Chicken, and various video games. From interviews I’ve seen and read, he seems like he’s got a good sense of humour and actually does appreciate comics himself. PLUS, he was born in Canada so bonus points for that! (Just ’cause I’m a fellow Canuck!)
I can see why geeks love him. And I of course include myself.
Hard to believe Conor still reads EW. I had to cancel it 10 years ago for it’s lack of quality.
@clintaa – you need 31 years, then you’ll get it.
j/k – but seriously, that’s a question that’s going to come down to opinion. If Firefly put you to sleep, you’re already in a different mindset than a lot of fans. I like Fillion; he comes across as a cool dude, he likes geeky projects, and he makes for a charming, slightly quirky leading man. In an era where every major actor is vying for the latest geek franchise role, Fillion just seems “at home” in the niche, which i think endears him to the nerdily inclined.
Y’know they offered me that title, but I totally refused…
my dream would be for the geek god to appear on the greatest geek show, Chuck!
Because Castle is the bomb, yo.
Spirit fingers.
I like Fillion and all. He’s a cool dude who does neat work. But the truth of the matter is if he hadn’t been the lead in a Joss Whedon show, he wouldn’t have 1/5 of the rabid fans. It’s not so much his work or ability, as it is he represents the Whedonites fandom. It’s nothing more than a different version of the Buffy mania that exists online. Whedon fans are of a different breed. Give them credit. They are one passionate lot. And they’ll be sure to let you know all about it.
yeah. men think he is alright. crazy fangirls want to polish his knob.
i will say he is still my mental image of hal jordan.
i like him. but he is the creation of the crazy wedonites.
No offense to Reynolds, but he looks more like Hal Jordan on that cover than Ryan Reynolds does those movie posters.
I think they meant to say Bruce Campbell.
Now, I love Nathan Fillion, but I think most people are a bit overzealous in imagining him to be the perfect live action Hal Jordan. Or whatever male superhero happens to be in casting in a given month.
Never forget – the hammer is his penis.
lol the banner for c2e2 with GL is right on the side of the ew pic and man, looking at them side by side, I have to jump on the bandwagon and say he would have made a great Hal Jordan.
I bought Serenity on iTunes just now in his honor of pure awesomeness. All Hail Fillion!!!
He’d make a fantastic Guy Gardner in a sequel, though, and, come on, let’s be honest. Gardner > Jordan.
@flakbait Guy gardner is the only green Lanern i have any interest in at all. Hal? YAWN!
If the internet had nearly the pull that Entertainment Weekly thinks it did, Snakes on a Plane would have made a billion dollars and Scott pilgrim vs The World would have made 5 billion.
@y2kkev Totally agree.
@clintaa- i dont really get it either…sure he seems like a nice guy but the rapidness is very odd! Plus i dont get why ‘Castle’ is possible, its just awful derivative muck. Firefly was cool though!
