Eos Books is letting you browse Judge, the sixth and final installment of Karen Traviss' Wess'har Wars.

At SciFi Wire, John Joseph Adams profiles Barth Anderson, author of The Magician and the Fool.

At Omnivoracious, Jeff VanderMeer profiles Gwenda Bond on young adult sf and YA sf for adults.

Kate Elliot's beautifully simple manifesto: Don't Bore Me. Kate is also featured on Scalzi's Big Idea feature.

In addition to his duties at Futursimic and his own blog, Velcro City Tourist Board, Paul Raven is now also the press/publicity/marketing guy at PS Publishing. Congrats, Paul!

The Justice League movie has been tabled. Where are the Wonder Twins when you need them?

Screen Rant has the cool new Hellboy II poster.

Jason Stoddard lists 5 Big Things Science Fiction Can Do To Improve Its Image.

J. Michael Straczynski knows what the networks don't know about science fiction. (An MIT Forum transcript.)

Speaking of robots, Boing Boing points us to this robot celebrity T-shirt.

The List Universe lists The Top 10 Obscure But Superb Science Fiction Novels. I've read none of these (sad), but own most of them (sadder).

The Straczynski transcript was interesting. Too bad MIT doesn't bother to date it or mention where the talk was given. Based on references in the talk, I'm guessing it was given about four years ago. No idea, though. Anyone know?

Since the talk was given, Battlestar Galactica has had (almost) four seasons, and Ronald D. Moore has been signed to create three movies, no doubt due to his efforts at creating a top-notch SF show. Definitely looking forward to that!
