Welcome back! So the last time we left our heroes, the Waverider was flying through the timestream when Chronos attacked. They escaped, but thanks to damage to the ship, they put down in a somewhat familiar place: Star City. Except the burned out hellscape they have landed on is Star City in 2046! Continue reading
Collecting Collectibles
23 FebWhether you realize it or not, everyone collects something that is important to them. As kids, we collect toys- had to have all the Star Wars toys when I was little, not to mention the “Cabbage Patch” and “Barbie” dolls I had- and sometimes that continues as adults.

Whatever it is, it has meaning to us. Continue reading

(Do not try and convince me that the 2005 with Kiera Knightly is better- you are plain wrong, get over it) So of course I was cautious when a few years ago a book came out rehashing the story, but with zombies.
Here’s the rub though- it was brilliant. Continue reading
