Ghosts of War Shows So Much Initial Promise Ghosts of War has given me mixed feelings ever since I finished watching it. Even as I type this, I am unsure of what to make of this movie. It is two ideas wrapped into one, and one half is so much better than the other. The basic…
Lazarus Thoth went away for the summer, fell into a good book…and we haven’t seen him since. From Brandon Scott, author of many of our Friday Fiction posts and review articles, comes a new horror novel about one boy’s descent into his own timeline and other dimensions.

The New Mutants Might Save The X-Men The New Mutants is a gamble. If the critical consensus is anything to go by, the recent X-Men movies have been a disappointment across the board. But perhaps the problem is that they have been stuck with the same few characters, ideas, and plot lines. What if they…
