I’m a long time DC Comics fan, so when I heard there would be a DC Universe streaming service with movies, TV series, and comics, I was all in to find out more. When they announced the service, I was first to sign up for the newsletter, and the Beta program, and I even pre-ordered a year of the service (saves you about 20 bucks a year). But then I didn’t hear anything. No Beta invite. No newsletters. About two weeks before the launch date, Sep 15, I sent them a polite note, expressing my disappointment, and I promptly got the Beta invite. (Sometimes it pays to be a whiner. And no, I’m not affiliated with them in any way.)

So, you’re on the fence and want to know whether it’s going to be worth your coin? What, exactly, is going to be behind that paywall? I’ve got your answers.

In Coming Soon

I had hoped to be better at communicating with readers through my blog and newsletter in 2017, but, well, it was a difficult year, as you’ll see.

In Viking Tomorrow, Writing

It’s been a long time since I could say “I have a new book out.” But at last, I can. Viking Tomorrow has been in the works for a very long time. I’m pretty sure the first draft was finished at the end of July in 2015. So what happened? A lot, but very little that actually influenced the delay, believe it or not.

In Doctor Who, Reviews

In 2016, the BBC wisely decided to start animating the completely lost serials of Doctor Who with The Power of the Daleks. While other sources can provide depth about what happened to many of the original First and Second Doctor Who stories, suffice it to say, when they needed space on old master video tapes in the late 60s and early 70s, the BBC simply wiped them out and re-recorded over them, when they thought the shelf life for television shows was finite. The policy is now known as ‘junking.’
