Oh Dear Lord, He’s Back
September 19th, 2008 — sci-fi
From the Hollywood Reporter.
Flash forward to 2009: ABC might finally have launched a strong companion to “Lost” with “Flash Forward.”

Based on Robert J. Sawyer’s sci-fi novel, “Flash Forward” is considered very compatible with “Lost.” It chronicles the chaos that ensues after everyone in the world blacks out for 2 minutes, 17 seconds and has a mysterious vision of the future that changes lives forever.

I’ve got eight or so issues of Amazing Spider-Man, the first two Secret Invasion: Front Line’s, two issues of Astonishing X-Men, three issues of X-Men Legacy, three of Uncanny X-Men and more than a few others still sitting around unread. In the meantime, down to business. Continue reading →
