The Seeds Ann Nocenti, author; David Aja, artist Berger Books, 2021
The Seeds collects a four-issue miniseries set in a dystopian future. How dystopian? So bad that some think that planet Earth may be dying. The bees are swarming (a sign of the resur
And so we come to the final chapter - a hurried, jumbled finale to a hurried, jumbled story. In the end, I have to say that they tried real hard and it just didn't work out. In some ways, it felt as though Chibnall had a bunch of ideas that he want
I must admit that I'd never heard of Mary Seacole before. Still learning from this show after all these years. I generally like these "Meeting a figure from history" stories.
"They're fighting Sontarans." I'm glad to see them bring the Sontarans bac

Just a thought that struck me: how old is Alfred Pennyworth?

If Jaime Hernandez agreed to do a mini series for Marvel and was allowed to do anything he wanted, what character/plot would you want to see him work on? No wrong answers.
Not overwhelmed by this one. I think that it suffers from the same thing that the middle episodes of six-parters did back in the 60's and 70's - that of being the "filler" episodes wheere characters ran around, not achieving much, until they reached
Now this was a bit more like what I was hoping for from a Doctor Who story. I especially liked the little girl who wasn't particularly upset when her great-uncle was disintegrated. "He was never nice to me."
A bit of a jumble, this - it feels as though it's trying to introduce too much: Dan, Di, Claire, Swarm, Karvanista, the Lupari, Vinder, Azure, the Sontatans, the Weeping Angels, the Division, Williamson, the Flux itself, old Uncle Tom Cobbleigh and a
