Star Trek #26 from Gold Key Comics, hit spinners in September of 1974. It featured a story by John Warner, and had art by Angelo Todaro and Alberto Giollitti, and featured another cover painting by George Wilson. And I will say this, of all the comic stories in the series so far, this one felt…

Stargate SG-1 (1997) – Brief Candle, and Thor’s Hammer

It’s not that it’s a bad episode, but it’s just an episode that doesn’t resonate with me. Written by Katharyn Powers from a story by Steven Barnes, this episode was first…
