Here at The Outerhaven, we write about the stuff that we enjoy in geek culture: video games, anime, manga, film, TV, toys, and things else that fit in. We cover those via news, reviews, previews, features, guides, and more. It doesn’t matter how big or small it is (we love indie).

Photography and Social Media
Angelique Mitchell – Though she is the daughter of the editor-in-chief, there’s no hint of nepotism here. Angelique plays a key role in capturing photos and videos at major events like PAX East and New York Comic Con, sharing those moments and more across The Outerhaven’s social media platforms. While she’s a passionate gamer, her enthusiasm may not quite match her father’s, but she certainly holds her own.
