That's a great story, rare to see another author do so well by another's classic creation

Folks, I REALLY believe in this project. VEINS OF ARKHAM: CTHULHU MYSTERIES: www.kickstarter.com/projects/wwp...

A Lovecraft-inspired detective visual novel, blending noir atmosphere, psychological horror, and cosmic dread โ€” very much in the spirit of CALL OF CTHULHU.

You're not really moved in until your books are out of the boxes

Completely agree. If you're truly a fan of something, you better off staying away from the business news and behind the scenes stories. It will ruin it for you

I dig it. Perfect for the Fifth Doctor. Big Finish did a lot more of this in their first decade - some sci fi humor mixed with a morality tale.

Gen X-er here. Late 70s and I was a toddler. Treatment for respiratory illnesses back then. I have strange memories of looking at people through plastic sheeting while drifting in and out of consciousness

In my case, yes. One of my earliest memories was being sick in an oxygen tent, and possibly having an OBE.

I loved the late 80s and 90s. Got a violent R rated or adult themed property? Let's turn it into a kids' cartoon!

Totally agree, and I plan on seeing it in theaters again, which I almost never do in the era of short theatrical windows

Although to be fair, it's really a Shadow movie

Let's wait and see if she's the Doctor. After the bigeneration, all bets are off

Storing lightning isn't possible with current capacitors, too much too fast. But who knows in the future?

I think I heard somewhere that lightning generates 1.21 gigawatts. But I'm no Doc Brown

Thanks, Marc. I was really trying to nail the atmosphere. More to come!

The Bondsman is exactly how NOT to end a series. Resolve the main quest, but leave a subplot or new threat open. Severance knows this, Amazon does not

This looks amazing; the hope, power, humanity and otherworldliness of Superman all at once
