Click to embiggen More Than Meets The Eye is one of the best written comics of the last few decades. Yes, it’s a Transformers title. Yes some people will get sniffy about that. It’s their loss. An extended story of friendship, deeply rubbish leadership choices and the awful freedom of being essentially immortal it’s an …
In late 1995, my head full of bad wiring and grief scars I wasn’t nearly mature enough to acknowledge, I went to the movies. It was Se7en, that I saw with a bunch of University friends. Like The Usual Suspects, it was a movie that came at us sideways and, like The Usual Suspects, it …
Walking to MK Train Station in the morning, we stumbled across this chap. He was being yelled at by a flock of Jays and we suspect they’d interrupted his planned breakfast of Jay eggs a la carte. I’ve never seen a Fox this big, or this confused before. But now I have and he’s this …
I’ve played a small amount of the first Mass Effect and watched Marguerite play the entire trilogy. It’s a stunning piece of work, a 150 hour science fiction novel that takes in friendship, duty, the terrors and triumphs of history and what happens when every intelligent race in existence realizes they’re renting the galaxy rather …

The first season, The Uprising Begins, is on Netflix right now while the rest of it’s on youtube in various places. It’s all ambitious, all brilliantly choreographed but this is my favorite episode. It’s Harry Shum Jr., who you may know from Glee …
Ant-Man the movie was a lot of fun. Ant-Man the soundtrack is way more fun. Christophe Beck’s music is full of sly heist movie stylings but it’s this track, Tales to Astonish! that stays with you. It’s the perfect music to fight science crime to, and it’s also this week’s Sunday Moment of Zen. …
The New Horizons probe has done astonishing things for our understanding of the Solar System’s ninth world. Even better, it’s shown us how little we understand given the surface’s relative lack of craters suggests it has an active geology. Which, at the edge of the solar system, is one of the last things anyone expected. Then …
Transformers: More Than Meets The Eye is an extraordinary comic. It takes what, at its core, started out as a means of selling a toy line and turns it into an incredibly nuanced, compassionate, funny story about what happens when the war you’ve spent your life fighting stops. Following The Lost Light, a ship crewed …
