(DC Comics, creative team: Tom King, Mitch Gerads, Evan "Doc" Shaner, Clayton Cowles) Hh. There is no denying that this issue has a clear application of craft. Everybody involved knows how to make comics. Unfortunately, Taylor, er, King's script is obtuse about what we are in for. Will this be the start of a timeless […]

One of the best things Netflix's Altered Carbon has going for it? Trying new things is pretty much built into the DNA of the series' concept via "sleeves".

Remember Space: 1999? It was one of the biggest cult British Space Opera shows of the 1970s. The show had more lavish effects, sets and costume designs for the period. It was produced by Gerry Anderson and shot at Pinewood Studios – think of it as pretty much Anderson's version of Star Trek. Now Big […]

Sometimes it feels completely random and arbitrary, but it has a lot of deep ideas embedded in its lore. From the 1960's to the 1980's, writers often […]
There's a big problem with space shows Nightflyers and Another Life – the astronauts are dangerously stupid. In fact, both shows have remarkably similar plots. So similar that I wondered if Another Life set out to rip off Nightflyers. Both shows are about a mission to intercept an artefact that might be evidence of alien […]
