Happy New Year Factioners! 2018 was a difficult year for many of us, but it was an amazing year for fantasy!

Year in Anime – 2017

Top 10 SFF Films of 2015
I don’t think 2015 was quite the year for cinema we were hoping. There were a number of SFF titles that didn’t quite live up to expectations and a few more that absolutely bombed. That said, it wasn’t all bad… there were a number of surprisingly deep, moving and powerful movies that bulk up this year’s […]

It’s getting harder and harder to be a well-read and up-to-date reviewer in fantasy these days. It’s also getting incredibly difficult to order the best of the year lists.
