Dan Abnett Interview – part 2
At last, part two of my interview with Dan Abnett which, as was hinted at in part 1, takes the form of a Skype conversation between us. I really enjoyed our conversation and feel that the content of, and revelations during, our dialogue will hopefully compensate you for the occasional interruption by my squeaky chair…a [...]
Embedded by Dan Abnett – review
Embedded is Abnett’s second independent novel for Angry Robot Books and one of the most original and compelling SF stories I’ve read in quite some time. In fact, I’m drawn to a grossly overused cliché to describe my experience because it happens to be, well, true: I couldn’t put the damn thing down! The story is set in [...]
Dan Abnett – interview – part 1
For me this is the interview to end all interviews. It’s not often one gets to interview a personal hero; I suspect this is mostly because heroes don’t enjoy mopping up fanboy drool, and frankly, who can blame them? This is going to be a little different from my other interviews, because while the others [...]
Ultramarines: A Warhammer 40,000 Movie – Review
At last, the holy grail of Warhammer 40k fans the world over has arrived–a 40k movie!

Prospero Burns by Dan Abnett – review
Perhaps the most eagerly awaited book of the Horus Heresy series, Prospero Burns is the fifteenth book in this New York Times best-selling collection. Though initially slated for simultaneous release with Graham McNeill’s A Thousand Sons, unforeseen circumstances in Mr. Abnett’s life prompted a delay, much to the disappointment of fans across the world. The [...]

Thanos Imperative: Ignition #1 – Preview
Man, this is what I’m talking about! While I loved how Thanos met his end in Annihilation (almost perfect), I love it any time he comes back as I am the biggest fan of Marvel Cosmic, and Thanos is up there with Warlock (and Deadpool) as my favorite Marvel character. Thanos comes back with the [...]

Guardians of the Galaxy #23 – Preview
Realm of Kings! Guardians of the Galaxy proves that Geoff Johns isn’t the only one doing great SF stories at the Big 2, as Dan Abnett and Andy Lanning have been putting down for a couple of years now (Annihilation was awesome!). This issue features Wes Craig art and a cover by Alex Garner (there’s [...]
Guardians of the Galaxy #22 – Preview
I’ve missed the last couple of issues, but I see that Brad Walker is back on the art in Guardians of the Galaxy#22! More Dan Abnett and Andy Lanning with Marvel Cosmic goodness that you know I love!
