The space western continues for Browncoats

I have never hidden my extreme love for science fiction, and Joss Whedon’s Firefly television series is no exception. In fact, one of my first reviews for the Other Press was Serenity: Those Left Behind, a graphic novel that focussed on the timeline between the end of the television series to the beginning of the 2005 movie continuation, Serenity.

FEATURE

Gattaca now

As a speculative fiction writer, one of my favourite genres of film is science fiction. For those of you who haven’t seen the 1997 film Gattaca, starring Ethan Hawke and Jude Law, it is a dystopian tale about a society that has flourished on the idea that children can be made genetically superior by being designed pre-insemination.

HUMOUR

OPINIONS

Stop hijacking my phone!

Most people have probably seen the Shaw commercial with the two little robots and the dog. Even I can admit that it’s adorable. It makes me smile every time it comes on. Unfortunately, it’s advertising the most annoying Wi-Fi network known to man! That is, unless, you subscribe to it.

Comic Corner: Everything has a price

Paying for It is an honest exploration of the taboo world of the Canadian sex trade, free of moral bias or fear-mongering. Through this autobiographical depiction of his experiences, cartoonist Chester Brown provides great insight into his own evolution from fearful first-time customer to very vocal supporter of the legalization of prostitution.
