Firefly (2002) – Objects in Space
This is it, the final episode of the series. Which is frustrating, because you can see the potential in each and every one of these episodes. It was written and directed by Joss Whedon. It aired on 13 December, 2002. River’s (Summer Glau) issues seem to be escalating, and someone has found her. A bounty…
Star Trek: The Motion Picture (1979)
I leave the Gold Key Treks behind… I know there are more issues to get through, but I don’t have them all yet. So it’s time to boldly go forward with Star Trek: The Motion Picture. Sadly, this will be my only entry in the Marvel Comics version of Star Trek. As of this date,…
Star Trek: The Evictors (1976)
Issue 41 of Gold Key’s Star Trek comic was found in shops for November, 1976. It was written by Arnold Drake, had art by Alden McWilliams and another lovely cover painting by George Wilson. The blurb for the story sounds very similar to an episode of The Next Generation aired in 1989, the season three…

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Secret of the Ooze (1991) – Michael Pressman
With the success of the first Turtles movie, things got kicked into high gear immediately for a sequel. Unfortunately, the second film lost some of the charm of the first movie and decided to go for a more silly, kid-friendly approach (something that would plague the third film as well). There are some change-ups in…
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1990) – Steve Barron
I missed most of the TMNT craze while I was a teenager in Bermuda. While I was out in Halifax, tthe family I lived with had a son who was obsessed! He loved the cartoon, and I got to know some of it from that. I read some of the original Eastman-Laird black and white…
DC League of Super-Pets (2022) – Sam J. Levine, and Jared Stern
Y’know what? I was pretty charmed by the animated DC League of Super-Pets. It’s one of those family films that actually has things for the whole family. It also has lots of little Easter eggs for comic and superhero fans. Featuring some familiar music cues and designs, DC League of Super-Pets feels more like a…
Star Trek: Death of a Star (1975)
Gold Key Comics reprinted the first issue of their Star Trek comic, Planet of No Return in March of 1975. But the Human Adventure continued in May. This time, there was a story by Alan Moniz, art by Alberto Giolitti, and I’m pretty sure a cover painting, my favorite of the series so far, by…
