Gargoyles fans everywhere, prepare to be… likely disappointed. Gargoyles was a darker themed cartoon television series. After Batman: The Animated Series, it was nice to have another dark animation. Gargoyles did not shy around heavier topics such as prejudice. They chose to include very diverse characters which was then praised as “revolutionary”. Recently, Jordan Peele offered to direct a gargoyles movie for Disney. Which would fit perfectly in the hands of the Director of Get Out. However, Disney has said nothing in response. Nobody wants to turn down Jordan Peele, not while his original work is being praised for commentary…

The Dresden Files is making a return! The series first debuted as a novel series written by Jim Butcher. It was taken on as a television series once before by the Sci-Fi channel but failed to please the fans. After 12 episodes, it fell to the wayside and has become much forgotten since. However, it looks like Fox21 Studios will be picking it back up! The book series has 15 out of 20 novels released so there is plenty of material to work with. Hopefully this second attempt will bring us faith in our favorite Urban Wizard coming back to…

Christopher Paolini had created a popular fantasy world Alagaësia that many of us had come to know and love (or hate as the last release created some stir, not to mention that movie… What movie? Exactly). After leaving the world of Alagaësia in 2011, it looks like Paolini is back! This time with The Fork, the Witch, and The Worm – Tales from Alagaësia (Volume 1: Eragon).

As many know, C.S Lewis was a devout Christian and created this fantasy series with obvious religious undertones, leaving…
