Of all the artist illustrating science fiction and fantasy, my favourite is Michael Whelan. I’ve felt fascinated for his work for as long as I can remember, but only now I can truly appreciate the scope of his work. He has illustrated covers for authors such as Isaac Asimov, Anne McCaffrey, Michael Moorcock or Stephen King. […]

*This article contains spoilers for the latest episode of Samurai Jack, read at your own risk!*  I couldn’t help but see Samurai Jack as a Western film in disguise when I first watched it. Jack’s endless wanderings, his stoic approach to his many failures and the ‘high noon’ fight scenes added to this.  However, there’s […]

Just like I mentioned in today’s Track Of The Day, the amazing BL sci-fi webcomic Starfighter came back from its six month hiatus this week, and I’m beyond excited to see the action, angst, and smut romance, that Chapter 5 is bound to be chock full of! Within the Starfighter universe, there are two types of soldiers within the Federated Alliance: […]

Spider-Man/X-Men Crossover – Saturday Morning Cartoons

X-Men was undoubtedly the biggest Marvel cartoon of the 90’s. Coming in second is Spider-Man. I loved the former but was never a huge fan of the latter. Its clunky animation, lack of subtext, use of laser guns and dreadfully dated euphemisms for blood and death (plasma and destruction) really got on my nerves, especially in […]

Hugh Jackman first appeared as Wolverine in 2000’s X-Men.

So here we are 17 years later and give or […]
