SF SiteThe new issue of the SF Site is now online.Supernatural Magazine 1- April 1, 2008 It's becoming a rare achievement for a genre TV series to even complete a debut season these days, so the fact that Supernatural is now well into its third season radiates a silent message that the show has style, depth and most importantly, great ratings. A number of factors contribute to its success like the obvious chemistry between the two lead actors, Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles along with the quality of the writing as the brothers hack their way through a huge range of strange...http://www.sfsite.com/04a/sp269.htm Nexus Graphica: a column by Rick Klaw and Mark L. Williams- April 1, 2008 Nexus Graphica is a column about graphic novels and comics that grew out of discussions between Rick Klaw and Mark London Williams. They will alternate columns.

He becomes embroiled in a struggle over an ancient Tarot deck that might give great power to some very ancient beings. At the same time, a homeless man, called simply Boy King, who makes his living by dumpster diving and occasional Tarot readings in the...http://www.sfsite.com/04a/mf269.htm Victory Conditions by Elizabeth Moon- April 1, 2008 The bad news is that this book would be a tough place for new readers to begin, as it is the final installment of the chronicles of Vatta's War. Every major thread begins pretty much in medias res, pulling a long train of story investment along with it. The good news is that this is a smashing finish to an excellent series.http://www.sfsite.com/04a/vc269.htm |
