Genre Police: Taking Up Space?

June 4, 2018 by Ben Jackson-Ellery Leave a Comment

Okay….this is gonna be a difficult one. It’s gonna really be a column about how we can’t do a column that turns into a column. We’re going to look at how we look at science fiction, how historically it has evolved and how that isnt’ helpful to us. We might even learn something about games […]

Everything’s Shiny: A Review of Things Don’t Go Smooth

November 10, 2014 by Ed Leave a Comment

The Firefly RPG made quite a splash when it dropped earlier this year. The game, powered by the latest iteration of the wildly popular Cortex Plus system, was custom-built for the kind of wild action and over-the-top heroics that were the hallmarks of the TV show. I’m happy to report that the game’s first major sourcebook, Things Don’t Go […]

Big Damn Shiny Heroes: A Review of Firefly Friends in Low Places

April 15, 2014 by Paul Baldowski 2 Comments

Firefly came and went like its insect namesake, but the series endures through a wide fan-base, comics, and various games. Rightly so, because in my opinion Firefly was a damned fine series that warrants the adoration it receives. Margaret Weis Productions has taken a stab at the ‘Verse before, presenting a Cortex-powered game based on […]

What happens next in Firefly/Serenity? Find out here!

September 26, 2013 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Whereas they’ve been graphic novels before – like Serenity: The Shepherd’s Tale – there’s not been any comic books that really acted as a continuation of the Firefly series and Serenity movie. Until now. Now Dark Horse comics, who do the continuation of Buffy the Vampire Slayer for Joss Whedon, will publish a follow on […]

X-ray prints of popular spaceships as monsters

December 1, 2012 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

[Tardis print] This set of art is on sale at Josh Ln’s Society6 page. They show some of the most popular space ships as they might look if they were actually cretures and monsters – except only in the side and revealed by an x-ray. It reminds me a little of these monsters under the […]

A review of Firefly – A Celebration (Anniversary Edition)

September 23, 2012 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

This is a beautiful beast of a book. It’s huge. There are 544 pages, in colour, in a hardback that just oozes quality. Right now, Amazon is accepting pre-orders and the book is due out at the end of September in the UK and the beginning of October in the US. That timing is important […]

The Browncoats Mixtape

October 7, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

It’s not often you read the words; “A new release from the internet’s foremost comic book rapper is here!”. Actually, there’s trademark™ beside “rapper”. Is Adam Warrock trying to trademark “Comic Book Rapper”? Actually, that might be a little wanky but it’s probably a good idea if his music begins to played a bit more. […]

The Browncoat Anthem – Firefly rap

July 7, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

It’s a sign of a popular TV show – a very popular TV show – that the fans are still contributing to the community years after the show was cancelled. This rap has the lyrics “Curse you Fox” in it. It also has the lyrics “.. at least we got Serenity” so I think it […]
