We talk a lot about Franchises here because those have been the big, widely known movies/stories in the culture in recent years.

But it's not all about Franchises - one thing that a standalone story can do, and occasionally does, is have an ending that changes the world forever ...

Hi everybody,
Since I can't get anything done until right before the deadline I've decided to just keep hitting refresh on the front page and click on stuff til I find something to comment on. I'll pick 3 comics again.



1. Afterworld Part I (2007) by Dan ...

I watched an interview with Ira Behr, the writer and showrunner on Star Trek Deep Space Nine. He talked about his days in the DS9 writer's room. It was the 90's, and the early days of the Internet. Even in those days, Star Trek discussion was flourishing online ...
