So it begins! Dark Horse is officially passing the baton over to Disney/Marvel,they will publishing Alien stories no more. Truly the end of an era.

Aliens In-House Panel Overview by David Gogel
With the pandemic going on, the thought of going to a Convention of any kind has long passed. Then suddenly, Carrie Henn tweets information about a virtual convention on June 13th organized by Coolwaters Productions. Without hesitation, I signed up.

Retro Review: The Hidden (1987) by David Gogel
I’m not going to start with some wordsy lecture about what’s going in. I think it’s just time to give this forgotten sci-fi classic some well deserved attention.

Alien: Prototype Novel, Advanced Review by David Gogel
One of the more overlooked portions of the Alien Expanded Universe these days seems to be the novels. The Rage Wars and of course, Cold Forge have changed this a bit.

Halloween (2018) Review by David Gogel
“Death has come town to your little town, Sherriff ” – Loomis (Halloween Warning: Spoilers loom below! Before we get into this, I need to admit something. I fucking love slasher movies. Supposedly outdated and tired by 2018 standards, they remain my favorite horror genre. If it’s a slasher, I’ll watch it. I love the…

Ladies, gentlemen, synthetics. I just completed three straight days of New York Comic Con. And it was glorious. The day before the show Titan Books tweeted out that Rory Lucey’s Jonesy book was going to be available early for purchase at their booth. And a free Jonesy stress toy too?! Sign me up! Ever since…

The Predator Review by David Gogel
On a muggy Long Island afternoon, I finally made the trip out to see The Predator. Being amongst one of the last of my friends and fandom cohorts to see it my expectations were all over the place. Is this the worst movie in the history of movies? Has another beloved childhood franchise been ruined…

Aliens Cold Forge Review by David Gogel
There are fewer things I enjoy more than a good book, and what’s better than that? A good Aliens book! I was cautiously optimistic after the reading the premise, but ended up far exceeding my expectations. After a bit of slow going since the release of Covenant, we again have a new Aliens story to…
