Review: Tales of Light and Life by Zoraida Córdova, Claudia Gray, Charles Soule, Justina Ireland, Cavan Scott, and more
I’m a bit of a High Republic rebel. I’ve read things slightly out of order, and spoiled myself on certain details along the way. It hasn’t hindered my love for the world these authors have created, though. Tales of Light and Life includes short stories from many of the High Republic authors and features fan-favorite… Continue reading

The Great Doctor Who Christmas Special Rewatch and Ranking – Ranking All 13 Christmas Specials
To prepare for Ncuti Gatwa’s first full episode as The Doctor this Christmas, my husband and I decided to rewatch all the Doctor Who Christmas specials. We’ve been doing a rewatch of NuWho recently (Eccleston through Whittaker) and rating each episode to get a good idea of which seasons and Doctors are ~scientifically~ our favorites.… Continue reading

Recently Announced – Star Wars: The Glass Abyss by Steven Barnes (aka a canon Mace Windu novel!)
I’m thrilled about this recent announcement, and couldn’t wait to share this in case you missed it. We’re finally getting a canon Mace Windu novel! I’m always up for more Star Wars prequel novels, but a Mace Windu novel that also heavily features discussions of Qui-Gon and contrasts him with Mace? Yeah, I’m going to… Continue reading

Comic Review – Star Trek: The Animated Celebration Presents The Scheimer Barrier
I initially picked up The Scheimer Barrier off Amazon because the comics were free and, well, they’re Star Trek. I added them to my massive, ever-growing collection of comics and didn’t think much of them for a few weeks. I kept returning to the comics because of their exceptionally odd covers and eventually realized this… Continue reading

Fullmetal Alchemist 20th Anniversary Book by Hiromu Arakawa
It’s a little crazy to think it’s already the 20th Anniversary of Fullmetal Alchemist. Even though I didn’t grow up watching the anime or reading the manga, I was always curious about Ed and Al and their quests. Now, twenty years later, I’ve grown to love the show, the manga, and the world that Hiromu… Continue reading

Review – Doctor Who: Ten Days of Christmas by Steve Cole
Am I ready for today’s episode of Doctor Who? Absolutely. Am I prepared to lose David Tennant and the Fourteenth Doctor? Not at all. While I am thrilled and excited about Ncuti Gatwa’s Fifteenth Doctor, I needed more time with Ten/Fourteen. I found this holiday anthology of stories with Ten and Fourteen and couldn’t pass… Continue reading

Graphic Novel Review: Star Trek: Deep Space Nine – The Dog of War
My dad was a kid of the 1960s – a product of Gene Roddenberry, the Space Race, and James T. Kirk. As a result, I grew up watching Star Trek’s Original Series. I can talk OG Star Trek with the best of them. If you want to talk Khan and tribbles and “The City on… Continue reading

Fandom Review: “Star Wars: The Mandalorian: The Manga, Vol. 1” by Yusuke Osawa
It’s difficult to overstate how much of a Star Wars fan I am. Of all my fandoms, Star Wars is my favorite. While I love all of the Disney+ era of Star Wars, The Mandalorian will always stand out to me. It’s the space western we all secretly wanted combined with characters only Jon Favreau… Continue reading

“Doctor Who Psychology: Times Change” – An Updated 2nd Edition for Modern and Classic Whovians Alike
Like every other Whovian, I am not so patiently anticipating the return of Doctor Who with the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Doctors this fall and winter. Frankly, the date of the first Sixtieth Anniversary special still feels a little too far away for my liking. I started Doctor Who Psychology for its promise of interviews with… Continue reading
