Is Strange New Worlds a Prequel to TOS?

Robert Vaux — Wed, 03 Jan 2024 22:20:12 GMT

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds has complex origins. It technically began as a spinoff for Star Trek: Discovery, with Captain Pike, Mr. Spock, and Una Chin-Riley lending the crew of the Discovery a hand during the second season. Shortly thereafter, that series moved forward into the 32nd century, leaving Strange New Worlds to continue telling Star Trek stories in the era it left behind. That also places the series in an odd place in the franchise's timeline.

Jordan Iacobucci — Wed, 03 Jan 2024 21:50:12 GMT

Grey's Anatomy lost one of its original cast members in Season 16 when Justin Chambers left the series. While he was only one of several original stars to have departed the ABC medical drama (the most notable still being Patrick Dempsey, whose Dr. Derek Shepherd was killed off), Chambers had put in more than a decade of work as Dr. Alex Karev. That meant his exit was shocking to fans, especially when they were told why the actor — and Alex Karev — were leaving.

Action Comics Annual 2023 Review

D. R. Bickham — Wed, 03 Jan 2024 21:30:12 GMT

The Action Comics 2023 Annual features the newest version of the Superman Family doing what they do best - defending the Earth against what would otherwise be insurmountable odds. The finale to the five-part "New Worlds" story was initiated in issue #1057. The story unapologetically barrels to its conclusion, barely allowing the reader to catch their breath - and that's a good thing. From the first page, the annual establishes that it is everything fans should expect of a story featuring the Man of Steel, establishing its stakes early on and featuring beats as heartfelt as action-packed. Additionally, the issue bucks the trend of many annuals by delivering a single story as opposed to several, and that one tale is well worth the price of admission, firing on all cylinders from the very first panel.
