But there's a point to this. Classic sci-fi TV and movies, such as Robocop, Starship Troopers, Judge Dredd and Battlestar Galactica use this trope as a way to show a future, an easy way to show that certain attitudes have changed that you are dealing with another time, another place, another way of being.    Or that you[...]

And to do so, they have commissioned a series of pieces of artwork from some of the bigger names in superhero, sci-fi and fantasy illustration.

It's a premise that's able to maintain the familiar episodic sci-fi investigations and conspiracy theories, but it also injects the additional thrill of being able to reveal the hidden history of the world because it promises to actually know the answers. Tonally, there's a surprising blend of humor to match the ominous ambiance, particularly an exchange[...]

The original goal of issue #1 was funded in just[...]
