Hey folks, JC from Transmissions From Atlantis here and I’d like to invite you to check out our KickStarter campaign for Star Mage (again).
After royal hosing up the first campaign, we’re back with a new and improved version – call it Star Mage 2.0! We have a much more manageable goal, better rewards, a new artist and the first issue is already completed!
To pledge your support, go here: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1954568853/star-mage
Basically the way this works is you can contribute as little as $1 to whatever you want. The more you contribute, the better the reward you get for being a backer.
Better yet – you won’t be charged ANYTHING until the project is 
funded 29 days from now. If it fails to reach its goal, you will not be charged a cent.
StarMage is sci-fi fantasy geared for YA crowd – it is kid safe (no nudity/sex or gratuitous violence). Think Harry Potter in Space.
You can help one of two ways….
First: back me up!
It’s easy (especially if you’ve ever bought anything from Amazon)!
• Go to the link above.
• Click the green “Back this Project” button
• Choose your amount you feel comfortable with (again, this won’t charge for 29 days….or ever if we don’t get funded)
• Pick the reward level associated with the amount you contributed
• Check out like you would at Amazon!
Second: Help spread the word!
Maybe you’re not into comics. Maybe you don’t have kids or think sci-fi is baloney. Or you just don’t have the funds right now to contribute. That’s fine – you can still do me a huge solid by getting the world out to your peeps – co-workers, family and friends. Anyone you think might have the slightest interest. If you do the social media thing: tweet it, blog it, LJ it or FB it! The more people know about the more chance it will have to be successful.
Thanks guys! Appreciate any help you can give.

Although we like to think of ourselves as the architects of our own destinies, many times the choices others make for us do more to define us than we care to admit. We’re forced to solve problems we didn’t cause, and we’re called to rise to meet challenges we never asked for.
This is the dilemma faced by Kal-El, better known as “Superman” in classic comic book lore. Born on a dying planet called Krypton, Kal-El is placed in a ship that is sent to the planet Earth. His parents hope that by sending their infant son to another planet, he’ll be saved from the catastrophic destruction of Krypton and continue their race. Though baby Kal-El is found by a loving farm family in Kansas (and is renamed “Clark Kent”), life isn’t easy. Earth’s climate is different from Krypton, and as a result, Kent has gained superpowers. He has to decide whether to hide these powers and try to live as a normal human, or use his powers to save people. It’s a difficult choice, especially since he doesn’t know whether the people of Earth will ultimately accept or reject a being like him. He didn’t choose to be a hero, but he may be forced to become one. Continue reading

We had an historic moment at TimeGate 2013. For the first time, Doctor Geek, Mr. Flask, The First Mr. Creature and Madame Oracle (also the voice of DEUS-X) were together at a convention. It was an honor to have Doctor Geek’s Laboratory to be listed at the top of the hotel’s video marquee.
Our panel, Doctor Geek Live! The Science of Stargate was a lot of fun. It was great to see so many people enjoying our mix of science and fiction.
Sexy Professor (The River Song), the music heard in this episode, is from The Ken Spivey Band’s new album, The Universe Yields. Buy the album at kenspivey.com
White Rocket 027: Warhammer 40K & Black Library-Josh Reynolds, Pt 1
Author Josh Reynolds joins Van this week to talk about the publishing phenomenon that is the Black Library‘s dystopian and ultra-violent Warhammer/Warhammer 40,000 Universe. Beginning as a British tabletop game, BL has become the 5th largest SF publisher in the world, attracting great authors like Dan Abnett, Graham Mc Neill–and Josh! So load your bolter, take your oath of moment, and get ready for tons of fun with the eldar, Tyranids, and lots and lots of Chaos daemons!
Stargate, the long running series of series that most of us have watched in at least one of its incarnations, is the topic for discussion this week.
Our co-hosts Deanna Toxopeus and Gary Mitchel sit down with Jessa Phillips and Michael Falkner to look at all the characters, mythos, plot twists and British Columbia-like planets that inhabited this series. Given that there were movies, three TV series, games and one horrible animated series, this one had to be split up into two, count ‘em, two episodes. It’s the two-parter you dreamed of. So dial the Stargate to home and settle in for a talk.
