Hey Frankie, All of us here at Sci Fi Saturday Night were just marveling over the last unsolicited piece of artwork you sent our way, and looking at all the links and news items and Facebook posts you’ve shared with us; your great interviews and comics, and… uh… well, it’s… I guess we just have [...]
Everything old is new again. Everything done is redone. Everything thrown into the dustbin comes back as a collectible. Spider-Man: Turn Off The Dark after many false starts, miss-steps and hiccups is set to open on Broadway in previews on November 12, 2010 at The Foxwoods Theatre (formerly the Hilton Theatre). Directed by Julie Taymor [...]

What [...]
In the past few years we have been subjected to reboot television shows and movies of old franchises (and in some cases just characters) and it is rare when it proves to meet the level of its original. The Superman reboot leaps to mind, and the list continues with Knight Rider, Charlie’s Angels, Transformers, Land [...]
This last Sunday the entire crew was in Nashua, New Hampshire for GraniteCon. It was a cozy con for collectors, gamers, and fans with many local artists in attendance. At the same time we are gearing up for Boston ComiCon, one of the largest, most well attended cons in New England. Modesty forbids me from [...]
