Plot Conan the Cimmerian is in pursuit of his prey in Numalia. It turns out the golden bracelet that Conan bears is calling him toward confrontation with a god. Review Short introduction to the world of Conan the Cimmerian, and a mild one at that. Verdict (Out of 10) Fringe Fiction gives this comic a 6.8 out of 10. Readable but too brief.

Fringe Fiction Goes to the Movies #movies #moviereview #fringefiction #frifi #betterman #deadpool #wolverine #socialmedia

After a nice weekend in Philadelphia, Fringe Fiction watched a couple of fairly good movies: Deadpool & Wolverine and Better Man. Deadpool & Wolverine wasn’t too bad overall. An entertaining summer flick but that doesn’t quite have the charm of the first two in Fringe Fiction’s opinion. The fight scenes were definitely tops, but the story did have its flaws including its two antagonists,…

Fringe Fiction Goes to the Movies #movies #fringefiction #frifi #finaldestination #socialmedia

Fringe Fiction watched three movies over this weekend: Final Destination: Bloodlines and Heads of State. Final Destination: Bloodlines was pretty good although in all fairness, it did not play out like the previous Final Destination movies. It did keep its campiness if not go overboard at the end. It was the final appearance of Tony Todd in Final Destination, and there’s some twisted irony.…

Fringe Fiction Goes to the Movies #movies #fringefiction #frifi #socialmedia #terminator #batman

On this dreary day in Philadelphia, we did watch a couple of movies. Terminator: Genisys in Fringe Fiction’s opinion is still an underrated Terminator movie. It does deviate from the original timeline and turns the timeline on its head. It is also more optimistic at the end than some of the other Terminator movies. It is worth a watch. However, some may beg to differ. What do you think? Please…

Fringe Fiction Goes to the Movies #fringefiction #frifi #movies #socialmedia #untildawn

It was a relatively warm weekend in Philadelphia as Fringe Fiction took a bit of a sabbatical to resolve some things. We did watch a few movies however. Until Dawn initially did have a whole lot of promise but sort of muddled in the middle and ultimately failed in the end in Fringe Fiction’s opinion. It resembled a lot of Cabin in the Woods throughout most of the movie. Where it failed…
