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 Ships
★★★⯪☆
Stephen Baxter
A sequel to H.G. Wells’ The Time Machine that drastically expands the scope across multiple timelines, from the dawn of time to the far future seen in the original. Now with Dyson spheres, nanobots, and a seemingly endless war that can only be stopped in the past. - 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.
