DC’s take on Star Trek hit comic racks with its ‘1st star-spanning collector’s issue!’ in time for February of 1984. Set after the events of Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, I know we’ll get a few issues before Star Trek III comes along. The first issue, The Wormhole Connection, was written by Mike…

Stargate SG-1 (2004) – Lockdown, and Zero Hour
Stargate Command is showing a little more international cooperation, as the Russians have a detachment working there in concert with a space station in orbit.

Alien: Romulus (2024) – Fede Alvarez
The Alien franchise has had its ups and downs, but the original two films, 1979’s Alien, and 1986’s Aliens, are undeniable classics that have held up and continue to entertain.

The Wandering Earth (2019) – Frant Gwo
Liu Cixin who penned The Three Body Problem series of novels, also wrote the book that is the basis of The Wandering Earth, a massive cinematic undertaking from China.

The Green Slime (1968) – Kinji Fukasaku
The next title in DK Canada’s Monsters in the Movies book may not be the best film in the book, but man did I have fun with it as I encounter more Alien Monsters! Filled with model work and special effects that seem more akin to the 50s than the late 60s, the story covers…
James Bond and Moonraker (1979) – Christopher Wood
Christopher Wood brings us the novelisation of his screenplay for 007’s adventure in Moonraker, here titles James Bond and Moonraker so as not to be confused with the original Ian Fleming tale. Once again, Wood makes efforts to find a happy balance between the literary version of the spy and his silver screen incarnation. And…
Star Trek: Shell Game (1993) – Melissa Crandall
It took me a little longer to get into this one than I would have liked, but once I was into it, I really enjoyed this, the next novel in the Pocket Books series of Star Trek novels. Set after the events of The Motion Picture, but far enough along in the timeline to have…
