Before we decamp at Gavagan’s or Callahan’s (or even Lady Sally’s), we probably passed through high school. Edited by Nancy Springer, this 1999 anthology heads out to the prom, SF and fantasy-style.
Smallville Review – “Sacred”
The episode touted as a Crouching Tiger, Hidden
Dragon style episode has aired. Did the
marketing guys even pay attention to the show before
making the ads?

Weekly Comics Discussion
This week’s shipping
list includes just three items for me this week:
Fantastic Four #523, which is the final
issue of the Waid/Wieringo run; Strange #4,
the continuation of the six part miniseries that’s
decent but so far unnecessary; and Ultimate
Nightmare #5, which wraps up that miniseries.
FF 524 and 525 will be fill-ins before JMS takes over
with issue 526, and Ultimate Nightmare is
really the first part of a three-part series that
will continue with Ultimate Secret in a few
months time. Wolverine: The End also ships
as a trade paperback this week. I’ll get that
reviewed soonish, but it’s quite unimpressive.
CoMers Episode 6: Invasion
tgreco
writes, CoMers Episode 6: Invasion is live. In
addition to that, we’ve done away with the pop-up
windows for viewing each of the episodes. http://www.comerstheseries.com/episode06.html
CoMers Episode 1: Initiation has a newer version that
has been shortened a touch and dressed up alot, as
well as having a couple of MB shaved off the file
size, so you may want to check that out as well.

Movie Discussion – “Son of the Mask”
A sequel that comes ten years after the original with
none of the original cast. It’ll be an uphill battle
to make it good. Did they succeed?

Enterprise Review: The Aenar
Another arc comes to an end.
New “Firefly” material in July
This
Newsarama report confirms that there will be a
three issue comic book prequel series to
Serenity that begins this July, published by
Dark Horse. Whedon and Brett Matthews will be
writing it, with art by Will Conrad. Note that this
series won’t be solicited for another month, but I’ll
be sure to point it out when it comes.

User Friendly comments on Trek
User Friendly has a recent
strip that outlines three possible ways to get
the Star Trek franchise back on its feet. I
think they each have a real chance for success, so I
thought I’d point them out to our readers.
