Comics

Battle in Outer Space

  • November 12th, The Dresden Files: Storm Front #1 hits shelves, but you can check out a preview over at SciFiChick.
  • Tor.com counts down the Top Ten Superhero Love Spats, with Cyclops vs. Jean Grey coming in at number one.

Film

  • Cinemacom has posted a gallery of 80 Great Posters of Not So Great & Even Worse Sci-Fi Movies.
  • Discover Magazine has a list of 10 Best Post-Apocalypse Films, on which Day of The Triffids comes in at number four.
  • Geek of Doom looks at the 12 Craziest Movie Casting Close-Calls. For instance, the role of Indiana Jones was initially offered to Tom Selleck, who would have kicked ass, if you ask me.
  • Newsrama compiled a list of the Best Genre Films of the Decades: 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s, 60s, 70s… I found them a bit funny in that, the further back in the lists I go, the fewer films I could name from the decade that aren’t on the list.
  • PC World The Best and Worst Movies About the Internet, starting, of course, with The Matrix.
  • Twilight video clips have hit the web, and it’s official, this film is going to make Tom Cruise’s portrayal of vampires in Interview with the Vampire look butch.

Literature

  • Free Fiction: Listen to “Particular Tastes” by Bosley Gravel at Well Told Tales.
  • Free Fiction: Read “Scatter and Return, the Eyes of the Princess” by Willow Fagan at Fantasy Magazine.
  • Geeks of Doom has posted a Beginner’s Guide to Neil Gaiman, though I seriously doubt that anyone reading this blog needs it.
  • Topless Robot names 8 Sci-Fi and Fantasy Books Which Most Desperately Need Movies.
