While the Star Trek movies, video games, and comic books are exploring the new timeline where that guy from Heroes is Spock and Gamora from Guardians Of The Galaxy is Uhura, fans of the original Trek universe can sleep soundly knowing the original timeline continues in the novels.
But in talking to writer John Jackson Miller, who wrote the new novel Star Trek The Next Generation Takedown (paperback, digital), it’s not just the fans that are interested in keeping this saga going.
Funko have announced that they will release a toy of the Breaking Bad Crystal Ship — the mobile meth lab — this February.
Since the beginning, Archer has always been an animated workplace comedy about a bunch of screw-ups…who happen to be spies. It’s kind of like Space Ghost: Coast To Coast meets Get Smart. But in the episodes collected in Archer The Complete Season Five Blu-ray and DVD, the writers turned this hilarious spy spoof on its head by having Archer and his coworkers become drug smugglers.
Funko have announced that the third series of Walking Dead Mystery Minis action figures will be released in February.
After the annoying goofball that was Matt Smith, the BBC could’ve hired almost anyone to play the titular character on Doctor Who and it would’ve been an improvement. But as you’ll see from watching the dozen episodes and the extras included on the Doctor Who The Complete Eighth Series Blu-ray and DVD, they didn’t just pick anyone, they picked someone whose portrayal of the good Doctor harkens back to this show’s golden years.
Fox Home Video have announced that Family Guy Season Twelve will be released on DVD on December 9th.
Considering that it was only supposed to be a five year mission, it’s kind of amazing that Star Trek is still going strong more than forty-five years later. And not just in the movies. Pocket Book publishes more than a dozen new Trek novels and ebook novellas every year. But in talking to Greg Cox, who wrote the new Star Trek: The Original Series: Foul Deeds Will Rise (paperback, digital), and David Mack, author of Star Trek: Section 31: Disavowed (paperback, digital), about their new Trek novels, it’s clear there’s plenty of places for these characters to boldly go.
Funko have announced that they will release new POP! action figures and Wacky Wobbler bobble-heads of characters from The X-Files in April and February, respectfully.
