A Green Lantern?! In space?! Its more likely than you think. We’re joined this week by the truly excellent Ryan Santos of Torchlit Tavern to chat about a brand new character added to the Green Lantern mythos. A murder mystery, a city in space, and cultures unlike anything on earth. This one has it all! …
It’s hard to believe, with the way this year has gone and how long it has felt that the first book of The Ruin of Kings, the first book in A Chorus of Dragons series by Jenn Lyons, was only released a little over a year and a half ago and The Name of All …
What do you do when your franchise has been around a bit too long? Send them into space, of course! We can only assume that was the premise behind Josie and the Pussycats In Space’s original cartoon run. But lucky for us someone decided to dust off this old property, give it a modern feel, …
