Sci-Fi & Fantasy Apps For The iPhone
It’s true that there is darn near an app for everything these days. I try out a lot of them, especially if they are related to photography, organizers, star charts, and fantasy or science fiction. It’s not at the addiction level, but it’s close. You can benefit... -

‘Elfquest’ Fan Imagining – More Than Pretty Girls With Elf Ears
When Stephanie Thorpe posted an image of an ElfQuest comic panel on Twitter, she didn’t know it would end up with her creating a fan imagining of the beloved series. However, fellow fan Paula Rhodes saw the Tweet and being that they were both capable of bring a story to... -
Comic Book Review: ‘Dragon Age Vol 1′
The popular video game has come to comics; Dragon Age Vol 1 collects the first six issues of the comic. Orson Scott Card and Aaron Johnston tell the story of Gleam. She was born from a forbidden pairing between a mage and a templar. In this world, performing magic is a sin. The... -

The superhero comedy situations continue in issue 3 of Love and Capes Ever After. Mark and Abby are putting the finishing touches on the house so they can move. Abby’s sister Charlotte comes to visit Darkblade, and Amazonia gets bent out of shape with envy. Abby attends... -
WonderCon 2011: Clone Wars Panel
The tagline for season three of The Clone Wars was “Secrets Revealed,” and they definitely showed some of their hand. The secrets that were revealed have only sparked more mysteries. Supervising Director Dave Filoni came to WonderCon with some special guests to talk about... -
A Taste Of Westeros
HBO is promoting their new series, Game of Thrones, to a crazy degree. And by crazy, I mean wonderful. In addition to a multi-sensory game (Maester’s Path), t-shirts, and a whole store/museum of Game of Thrones items in New York, they have launched a food truck. A... -
Comic Book Review: ‘Dollhouse Epitaphs’
The episode Epitaphs was my favorite of season one of Dollhouse. It was an exclusive episode available only on the DVD collection, and it was scary and excellent. The comic illustrates how the story told in that episode came to be. Rossum’s Dollhouse technology has gone... -
‘Supernatural’ Equals Super Awesome
I almost didn’t watch the television show Supernatural. You see, I’m a wuss when it comes to ghost stories and monsters in the dark. Actually, I don’t like the dark much in general. I could never stomach movies like Nightmare on Elm Street or Candyman. ... -
Death…Is A Girl?
Death. We’ve learned from fairy tales and movies to associate death with rotting, black, decay (well, this is the case in the United States at least). It is something to be feared and delayed for as long as possible. Death personified is not a pretty creature. Usually... -
Book Review: ‘Plucker’ By Brom
When an updated version of Brom’s The Plucker was recently released, I jumped on obtaining a copy. Brom’s work has never failed to delight me while simultaneously giving me the creeps. It’s a rare combination. Let’s first make clear that though this... -
I Want Samantha Carter On My Team
Stargate SG-1 is one of my most loved television shows. After Star Trek: The Next Generation I think SG-1 was the first long term science fiction series I committed to. And it was seriously long term. It aired for ten seasons, and the Stargate universe was continued with... -
Comic Book Review: ‘Finder: Voice’
Finder is a science fiction comic, and the blurb on the back of the book says that it is the best one being published today. I haven’t read enough sci-fi comics to say whether it’s the best, but it is definitely gripping and fascinating. Finder has been around... -
Comic Book Review: ‘Love And Capes Ever After’ #2
The second installment of Love and Capes features a young and adorable Crusader on the cover. Even if I didn’t already like the series, that image along would make me pick it up. Creator Thom Zahler’s art style may be the friendliest I’ve ever seen. ... -
Why I Love ‘Elfquest’
In present times, self-publishing is not a foreign concept. You can find several creators at conventions who are publishing their own webcomics, print comics, or digital versions of their comics for e-readers. Sites exist solely to help you get your work out there without...
