The Patreon Fantastic! Fantastic Universes at your Service!

 

Article by Adam Ray

It's a big day here for all you fine people in the Fantastic Nation. Short version, our Patreon is now live, and we'd be eternally grateful if you pledged what you could right here.

Fantastic Universes has been committed to bringing high quality news, reviews, and positive opinion pieces across all of popular culture. Our love of comics is where we've started, but now we have a team that looks in depth at card gaming, PC gaming, tabletop fiction, hard hitting fiction, and that's only some of it! We've been looking hard at what we can do to expand, and the continued readership of everyone out there has been immense. We are so grateful to each and every read, like, and share.

Now it's time to level up.

Over on our Patreon, we have some truly great perks. Every Patron will get to see posts a whole week before they'd come out here. Depending on the article is, you can see some things a few days, or up to a week early.

Those able to pledge a tiny bit more get several additional benefits. For avid listeners of our podcasts, they get to hear their versions completely ad-free. On top of that, we've opened up a section for "fan requests". Got a book or comic you want us to review? Want a deep dive on a game you're hesitant to play? If you're a patron and you reach out to us, we'll be more than happy to give it a whirl and talk about it just for you.

For the truly amazing patrons among you, all of the above is true, plus a chance for you to get to know the fine team here at Fantastic Universes with monthly AMA's. Lastly, many must have seen Fantastic's Creator Steve Ray's excellent recolours of comic stills around. If you have art you want recoloured or a commission for an art piece, your name will be added to the laundry list for him to finish in a commission.

What Happens Now?

We'd never ask everyone to become a Patron. Reading, listening, and sharing our content is more than we could ask for. This fine website is not going anywhere. All our content will still end up here for your reading pleasure. There'll just be a little time between when it goes on our Patreon page, than to when it comes here.

This is the big push for Fantastic Universes to become the hub for news and thought pieces from across popular culture. With your continued support, we can really make something fantastic.

Mystic Muses: A D&D Podcast

Image
Article by Philip Clark An all queer cast. An all femme ensemble. A non-binary Dungeon Master. Throw in some quality story-telling and role playing too, this sounds like a whole lot of fun! If any of the previously mentioned things has piqued your interests, then I implore you to check out Mystic Muses. You can find this wonderfully crafted podcast where you can find all your other favourites including Spotify. There are currently four episodes out. Episode 0 is the prologue and character introductions, and I have to say it is very well put together! The intro to each episode is cleverly crafted, with the players and DM each sounding off a sentence to bring us into the game space. Speaking of bringing us into the game space, Adam, the talented DM sets the scene for the story very nicely. A descriptive, yet concise introduction to the environment gives both the players and audience a vibe of what we're in for. Then come the delicious character introductions that give vivid descripti...

Fantastic Universes Interview: Madison, Matthew and Macsen Lintz From 'The Walking Dead'

Image
Interview panel led by Steve J. Ray, with a gathering of Comic/TV Media Journalists. I've spoken to some amazing people over the last couple of years; writers, artists, costume designers, and actors from some of my favorite TV shows. It's no secret that I'm a huge comic-book fan, and one of the TV series that's based on and inspired by a comics title - but has gone on to be so much more - is The Walking Dead . At a recent Comic-Con in London, I had the great opportunity of leading a panel where some fellow journalists and I spoke with Madison, Matthew and Macsen Lintz, three siblings who played Sophia and both iterations of Henry on the show. The eldest, Madison Lintz (born 1999) played Sophia Peletier - Carol's daughter - in the first two seasons. She's also well known for playing Maddie Bosch in the Amazon series Bosch . She started acting at the age of six, filming commercials and voice-overs. Matthew (born 2001) took over the role of Henry from ...
