‘Aliens: The Video Games’ By Mike Diver Book Review

The perfect organism. Spoken by Ash in 1979’s Alien, the Xenomorph is perhaps one of the best-designed creatures in horror. The creativity of authors, artists, and other visionaries have guided this franchise beyond just the films.

‘President Curtis’ Premiere and Episode 2 Review: Leadership in a Chaotic Universe

Rick & Morty spinoff President Curtis shifts focus towards the White House and the impossible burden of ruling a country and a planet where alien invasions, interdimensional travels, ancient monsters, and reality-bending catastrophes have become almost another Monday.
