New Doctor Who monster “The Spoonheads” introduced in “The Bells of St John”
The BBC have released the first teaser picture to The Bells of St John. When Doctor Who returns on the 30th March, The Bells of St John will be the episode that re-re-introduces Jenna-Louise Coleman as the “new” companion Clara Oswald. It’s written by Steven Moffat.

With Lone Wolf pages already pulled from the Mongoose website, writing on the forums, Matthew Sprange notes; Termination of Mongoose Publishing’s Lone Wolf gamebooks and RPG […]
Waking from its slumber Green Ronin’s Freeport discovers Pathfinder
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1780208966/freeport-the-city-of-adventure-for-the-pathfinder/ [Support this Project] Freeport is part of Green Ronin’s history.

Glass Thorns: Elsewhens review
Glass Thorns: Elsewhens is the sequel to Glass Thorns: Touchstone and is equally a frustrating book to review. Why? It’s a carefully slow book but it’s clearly building up a grand and complex plot.

Fan film: Wonder Woman versus Nazis
The official name of this video is “Female Super Hero Fan Film” and the character is called “Diana” or “some sort of super woman” in the script. However, the outro credits clearly show the Wonder Woman symbol and mention Wonder Woman. I wonder whether they were asked to tone it down. The team might have […]

Who watches the watchmen aliens?
One of the most recent Gimmick Tees designs caught my attention. We’re in their usual mashup territory here, Space Invaders and The Watchmen. Who knows? Perhaps this little fellow will feature in the controversial Watchmen prequel?
