It’s fall! You know what that means? Pumpkin Spice lattes? Get the f**k out! It means it’s time for some TV, and I’ve got the info on some new sci-fi series that are looking to get audiences hooked. Over at CBS, Limitless starring Jake McDorman will try to match the success of its predecessor film…
The Fictionmonger is playing chess with…himself. After a time, the Editor finds him, alone. He then rushes in and takes a seat in front of him. MONGER: What are you—? THE EDITOR: Don’t ask questions, just pay close attention. The Monger looks left, then right, then leans in. MONGER: Where have you been? THE EDITOR: Making a TV series. Not…
It’s been over five years since the original NBC series Heroes ended and fans have been waiting since February to get more details. The show’s resurrection was announced during the 2015 Super Bowl with a brief television spot, but just recently a trailer was released introducing new characters. Tim Kring, original creator, will return to…
Yes, but let me explain why. Comic book movies were never really “in vogue” throughout the 70s, 80s and 90s. Oh sure, Superman was seen as a classic portrayal of the Man of Steel, and Tim Burton introduced us to a much Darker Knight than most people had seen in Batman. But these movies were…
Ever liked a book, and in some portions even loved it, but hated the main character? It’s certainly a first for me. Never before have I so thoroughly enjoyed a story, but only when it went away from the protagonist. That’s not to say that the main character, a pilot by the name Marcus Powell,…
Let me just say that the following paragraph is meant in the best possible way: This book is ridiculous. Absolutely nutter-butters, run-up-the-wall crazy. I can’t believe I read it. I can’t believe this is an actual book that exists in this world. I have never read anything like this, and I don’t expect to ever…

Coming off of their pop culture-filled run of Young Avengers—a comic almost annoyingly hyperaware of its societal relevancy and rather fond of fourth-wall smashing—Kieron Gillen and Jamie McKelvie have begun a series that’s just as flashy but hopefully less stuck playing its youth card all the time. After months of hype and one positive preview…

The month of May saw the release of two brand new sci-fi series, The Woods from BOOM! Studios, and Trees from Image comics. Despite the fact that their titles are both woodsy in nature, they are quite dissimilar in plot and the viewpoint from which they introduce their worlds. The Woods is by a much…
I like the idea of living in space or on another planet as much as the next person–that is to say, when I think about it, I don’t dislike it. It appears, however, that someone in Russia is a lot more in love with the idea of having an address with a lunar postal code….
Every Sunday I do what I can to post a little something to set the tone for the rest of the week. Sometimes it’s a piece written by one of you, the fans. Sometimes it’s something I read or saw online that I think you should check out. This time around, I just wanted to…
