The Cybermen are really camp. They’re meant to be cold, logical, emotionless cyborg vampires, but mostly they’re just silly. They do slow fist-clenches and macho posturing. They wail and flap their arms around. They get killed by glitter. They make insanely convoluted plans and pretend they’re very clever. They are ridiculous and this is as

Sailor Moon is one of the most well-known anime from the last 30 years.

Science fiction, speculative fiction, in fact all the sub-genres herein, is a fantastic place to really express emotions, social commentary, thoughts, idealisms, violence, human rights (and lack of) and so on… But writing with these in mind there’s a sense of trepidation and hesitancy. Whether this is a thread of the community in which we

When the Animorphs graphic novels were first announced, no one could have predicted how well they’d turn out. Would they be new versions of the old stories?
