Fans of the “Star Trek: The Next Generation” side of the fence will love the notion that a brand-new miniseries is coming their way in May. Let’s take a look at the first issue cover and the full press release.

The Press Release:
After the stellar success of Star Trek: The Next Generation: Mirror Broken, which introduced the alternate “Mirror” villainous version of the U.S.S. Enterprise crew to comics, and the excitement around the upcoming five-week mega-event Star Trek: The Next Generation: Through The Mirror, IDW now returns to the original, or “prime,” universe this August in Star Trek: The Next Generation: Terra Incognita, beginning a brand-new wave of episodic miniseries!

comic book covers, idw publishing — “Star Trek: The Next Generation: Terra Incognita” #1

This six-issue miniseries reveals unique, focused stories where beloved characters find themselves in new, unfamiliar situations, in a format echoing the “done-in-one” nature of the television series. However, each issue also features a subtle throughline of an evil Mirror Universe crewmember established in the Mirror Broken and Through the Mirror series remaining on the ship, wreaking havoc while posing as his prime universe counterpart. Featuring the best of both the Mirror and original universes, Terra Incognita is a unique new step in this riveting saga.

Scenes From “Free Comic Book Day” 2017

May 6, 2017 Ken Pierce 1 Comment

Today is the “Free Comic Book Day” for 2017 and there are a whole lot of awesome titles to secure for absolutely nothing. I hit my neighborhood shop Galaxy Comics in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn a short time ago and rushed back to showcase images of what is out there and that you should still be able to find providing you act fast. Here we go.

As we go through the stuff that I observed at today’s FCBD, I figured I would speak up on a few of them as the visuals go by but I will admit that I didn’t know every single title that was available today. This wouldn’t be a problem with the two offerings by Marvel and their “Guardians” title and the “Secret Empire” one. Each of these has a second story for fans to enjoy. Never a bad thing.

Not only is the excitement rising for “GOTG” since their film opened yesterday but also for “Wonder Woman” whose feature comes early next month. This Valiant Comics offering gives two tales which appears to be a common thread on this years FCBD

Presenting The 40th Annual Saturn Awards Winners

June 27, 2014 Ken Pierce Leave a comment

When I shared the nominations for the 40th Annual Saturn Awards, I shared a bit of a background that I snagged from their Wikipedia entry. That said “The Saturn Awards are American awards presented annually by the Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy and Horror Films. The awards were created to honor science fiction, fantasy, and horror in film, but have since grown to reward other films belonging to genre fiction, as well as television and home media releases. The Saturn Awards were created in 1973 and were originally referred to as Golden Scrolls”.

As I lined out last year when I began to include this rundown into our content base, the goal was to expand the level of Pop Culture Entertainment features. Based on the films and television shows that they honor its the perfect addition so here we go again. With all the formalities out of the way here are your winners for the 40th Annual Saturn Awards. Remember that I had noted that some of the categories had changed since the post we did in 2013. See you again when its all over.
