Peter stared in awe at the Gossamoks’ bodies, lying around the ancient stone altar in twisted heaps. It was not the fact that they were dead that astonished him: it was their solidity. In life the creatures had been half-gost, half devil, but Tommy’s spell had made them entirely solid, had dragged them flailing and screaming [...]
Welcome back to part two! If you haven’t read part one of this long-winded editorial, you can find it here. Otherwise, if you are primarily just interested in the more modern end of comic historical awesomeness, this will be a fine beginning point. Alright, so where was I? Oh yes, moving through the metallic ages of [...]
Every year Hugo Awards are given to the best of the previous year’s works within the science fiction and fantasy genres. The Hugos are awarded each year by the World Science Fiction Society, at the World Science Fiction Convention (Worldcon). Voting for the Hugos takes place in two stages. The first stage, nomination, is open to [...]
M.K. Hobson’s The Native Star is positively saturated in personality and wit. Upon opening this book I was immediately charmed by Hobson’s style of writing. The Native Star takes place in 1876 and she has nailed both the time period and culture while simultaneously adding a layer of historical magic as if it had always existed [...]
TNT will be airing a brand new science fiction television event beginning Sunday, June 19. This show is centered upon revisiting the classic sci/fi question: what if aliens did attack? Perhaps TNT can tell the story better than I, though. The following is the official network description of the new series: FALLING SKIES opens in the chaotic [...]
I was standing in Half Price Books with my typical pile of hidden treasure securely nestled within my handy red basket. I had made the rounds through the sci/fi and fantasy shelves, done some perusing through any new affordable options in leather-bound classics, and had finally made my way over to the comics. A mother and [...]

A spaceship arrives in Arizona, 1873, to take over the Earth, starting with the Wild West region. A posse of cowboys are all that stand in their way. Sweet. So, you saw trailer number 1 during the Superbowl. Check out this second trailer of Jon Favreau’s (Iron Man, Zathura) Cowboys and Aliens. Along with the weight [...]
There is something charming about reading a comic from the 1960’s. I truly love reading now-corny phrases like “vengeance shall be mine!” from back when these lines were meant in complete sincerity. Aside from the almost comically excessive use of explanation points and victories that are so conveniently plotted that an elevated suspension of disbelief is [...]
Smallville’s final season is quickly (well…maybe not so quickly considering it hasn’t aired for over a month) approaching its grande finale. The story picks up in Kent, which will air on Friday, April 15, 2011 at 8pm ET/PT. The CW posted a season 10 catch-up clip, though, to help you get back in the swing of things! [...]
