Clive Barker’s The Thief of Always is a fable as relevant today for all ages, as it was upon its release to the world on November 1, 1992… Perhaps even more so.

Six episodes, five Queen songs in the fifth episode, four friends, horseman, and demonic wheels; three wheels on a tricar, two main angels (one fallen), and one flaming sword. And if that’s not enough to get you to watch Amazon Prime’s Good Omens, then remember, it’s based on a novel written by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett!

Netflix recently premiered a new show, based on a comic book series of the same name, The Umbrella Academy. The brainchild of former My Chemical Romance frontman Gerard Way and Brazilian comic artist Gabriel Bá, published by Dark Horse Comics.

Marvel has done it yet again. This time by telling a compelling origin story with the added benefit of having more than enough hints to the larger “it’s all connected” universe, that it almost requires more than one viewing.

There is something wholeheartedly endearing about Mike Schlossberg’s first foray into fiction. Something that is not unique to Schlossberg, or to myself, but which is often lost in science fiction is our humanity.
