Leave a comment

Star Trek Beyond marks the third installment of the rebooted Trek timeline, and the newest trailer has some fans sighing in relief.

Depending on who you speak to, the 2009 reboot of the Star Trek film franchise, which saw the timeline altered, was either a fun, inclusive film, that brought a new, younger audience into the Trek fandom – or it was about the worst thing ever. Those who preached the latter were a group composed mostly of elitist, old school fans who felt betrayed by the faster-paced action flick, as though the studio was stealing something dear away from them.

Get Excited About the Future: Early Future Quest #1 Review

Leave a comment

Future Quest #1 is the opening salvo in DC Comics’ revamp of several classic Hanna-Barbera properties.
