Vol. 7, Issue 38

In light of the fact that we are phasing WordPress off the Roost (yes, sob sob, how sad, etc.), there's a simpler layout in the works.

Behind every superhero stands a dangerous love interest.
Femmes Fatales of Sci-Fi

Human. Alien. Flirtatious criminal.

I have seen my fair share of people come and go.

There's really only one word to summarize this movie: Khan.

Issue Summary

With the phasing out of WordPress around the Roost (I know, boo hoo, but it cannot be helped), I thought it would be better if I redid the layout to a simpler one. That said, I will be slowly rebuilding the Alte archives, starting with the more recent stuff. So if you were looking for back issues (post-2008 and pre-2013), please be patient. Re-archiving is going to take some time, which I don't have that in abundance.

That said, a little summary of what you can find in this issue:

Scarlet talks about scars for our scientifics section.
With Inferno out, there's a little bit of praise to Dan Brown.
A couple of reviews, including movies such as Into Darkness, Peter and Alice, and Throne of Glass
Couple of puzzles provided by Amy Lupin and Prof. Scarlet Leslie.
Our usual columnists spout some words of awesomeness in the fields of superheroes, quidditch, and femmes fatales.
A gazillion million beautiful images. Duh.
