Reviews
- Doom Patrol ★★★★☆ An absurd, character-focused, darkly humorous, psychological take on people with the super-power/body horror combo.
- Galactic Derelict
★★★☆☆
Andre Norton
A decent outer space adventure from the anything-goes era of science fiction. The story drags a bit after it switches from time travel to space travel. - Good Time Travel Comics ★★★★★ Some DC stories I can recommend include DC One Million, JLA: Rock of Ages, Time Masters, and Chronos.
- Key Out Of Time
★★★★☆
Andre Norton
Lost in time, lost in space, out of their depth, a handful of humans are caught in the middle of a four-way power struggle on the high seas of an alien world. - Night Watch (Discworld)
★★★★★
Terry Pratchett
Time travel, barricades and a mix of humor and darkness in a rebellion with good cops, bad cops and time monks. - Nomad of the Time Streams
★★★☆☆
Michael Moorcock
A 19th-century British soldier in India is flung into three wildly different future wars, forcing him to reexamine the world he thought he was building. - Scott Pilgrim Takes Off ★★★★★ The cartoon is both wackier and more introspective than the source material. Sort of a mash-up of the movie and comics, sort of a reunion, sort of a remake, and sort of a What If.
- Star Trek: Discovery - Season 2 ★★★☆☆ The stand-alone episodes are good, and the Burnham/Spock family dynamics, but the main arc gets really frustrating in the second half.
- Star Trek: Picard - Season 2 ★★★☆☆ Hard to pin down, with a weird start, then a few good time travel episodes, before throwing in not just the kitchen sink but everything in the sink.
- Tales From The Bully Pulpit
A sci-fi comedy graphic novel featuring a time-traveling Teddy Roosevelt and the ghost of Thomas Edison, battling a descendant of Adolf Hitler. On Mars. Wearing mecha armor. - Time Breakers
This comic book from the 1990s flips the familiar time-cop trope on its head: Instead of protecting time from paradoxes, the protagonists are trying to create more paradoxes, convinced that the very existence of life depends on it. - The Time Machine
★★★★☆
H.G. Wells
A bit dry, but it draws you in, and if the plot is simple, it’s enough to wrap around some thought-provoking speculation about the future of humanity - and a critique of industrial society. - The Time Traders
★★★★☆
Andre Norton
A fun time-travel spy thriller through the bronze age that’s very rooted in the cold war. - The Wind’s Twelve Quarters
★★★★☆
Ursula K. Le Guin
A collection of short stories from early in Le Guin’s career, spanning her first sale through the time when she’d begun to be recognized as a major force in the genre.

- Flash Forward Looks Incredible (Comic-Con)
They showed 2 acts of the pilot at Comic-Con, and it looks great. Different from the book, but they’re adapting the concept, not the story.
- Three Kinds of Time
I was thinking about the timeline of DC Comics’ Earth-51 (home to the Great Disaster in Countdown to Final Crisis) and trying to wrap my head around what the past and present might mean for a world that’s been created and destroyed twice in as many years, and realized that some of the time paradoxes […]
- No DWG Necessary!
Someone at MIT had way too much fun writing up the press release: The Time Traveler Convention – May 7, 2005. As they point out, you only need one. (via CNET Missing Links)
- Time Travel Spam Returns
Back in 2002, people all over the net started getting email from a “time traveller” looking for a dimensional warp generator. Most people assumed it was a joke, and some decided to play along by setting up fake stores or even arranging a drop-off. The “time travel spammer” was eventually identified as spammer Robert Todino, […]
- Philosophy of Time Travel
We went to see the director’s cut of Donnie Darko. I walked out of there wishing The Philosophy of Time Travel was a real book.
