Countdown to Halloween 2025 Day 26: Battle Ground by Jim Butcher

I'm cheating a little with this Countdown to Halloween post for Battle Ground by Jim Butcher is more fantasy than horror, but it has vampires in it. I picked the book up last month for three dollars at the local Dollar General. It's the seventeenth book in the Dresden Files series. While this will be my first Dresden book, I did watch the 2007 tv series on the Sci Fi Channel, which is now Syfy. Harry Dresden is a wizard and private investigator for those that don't know.

Science Fiction Saturday: Resident Alien: The Book of Changes #1

Like most things, I'm late into getting Resident Alien. I knew about the several comic book series from Dark Horse Comics starting in 2012 but never read any of them. I didn't watch the Syfy/USA tv series that started in 2021 and ended this year until the fourth and final season started early this year. I binged watched them from the beginning and greatly enjoyed the show. This week Dark Horse Comics released a new mini-series starting with Resident Alien: The Book of Changes #1 that came out this past week. Here's the official summary:

"Return to Patience, USA, the seemingly sleepy town with numerous mysteries and secrets — and a handful of those are interplanetary! Harry and Asta, having recently welcomed their child Clover into the world, now welcome several visitors from Harry’s home planet. Agent Jones returns, and a new Resident Alien comics arc begins!"

It should be noted that Asta is the alien Harry's girlfriend in the comics while she is only his best friend on the tv series.

Pilot Script Ordered For Booster Gold

News is all abuzz about SyFy Orders 'Booster Gold' TV Pilot Script. I am on the fence for this since he is not my favorite superhero (he ranks slightly higher than Guy Gardner). Yet, I enjoyed watching Eric Martsolf bringing him to life on Smallville.
