In 1945, the first test of the atomic bomb was performed in New Mexico. The experiment was the culmination of years of research from the world's greatest minds, and it's success changed the world forever. Not only did it create the weapon that ended the second World War, it also led to a myriad of other significant advances in modern science. But what if it had failed? In a new graphic novel from writers Lo ...

A long time ago, we used to be friends, but I haven't thought of you lately at all. That line isn't just the first to the Veronica Mars theme, it's also a pretty good description of where the show has been the past six years. Back in 2007, the beloved CW show was cancelled after it's third season (after spending the first two on UPN), and ever since fans have been pining away for a film version of the teena ...

Remember that Superman movie from the late 90s, where Nicholas Cage was slated to play the titular character? The film that included a shiny new Superman suit (seriously, it was iridescent), a mysterious new character named K, and polar bears guarding the Fortress of Solitude? No?

Most people approach it from the campy, comedy, or curious angle, seeing it as something fun and quirky (many modern Steampunk authors not withstanding), but one developing web series is looking to change all that. The ...

Over the last few years, Kickstarter has become one of the best resources for comic fans looking to explore the world outside the big two publishers (Marvel and DC), so it's no surprise that I found our newest spotlight project while perusing the site. Terrance Grace, a veteran in the film and television industry, is in the final weeks of a campaign to publish his very first full length graphic novel, 'The ...

A non-profit organization is looking to build a museum dedicated to preserving the legacy of one of America's greatest scientific minds: Nikola Tesla. If you don't know who Nikola Tesla is, you need to go read this ... or this (if you prefer text over graphics). Now. I'll wait. Back? Good. As you are now aware, Nikola Tesla was one of the greatest contributors to American industrial development in the early ...

It will be available exclus ...

Every day we spend hours on the internet searching, shopping, reading, writing, reviewing, and communicating with people around the world. We put our lives on social networking sites like Facebook and Twitter, and establish friendships, and sometimes romantic relationships, with people we have never met in person. We trust total strangers on sites like Yelp, Amazon, Rotten Tomatoes, and even those social ne ...
