Flying Into The New Frontier – Part 2
It’s not easy distilling an entire decade worth of history into one graphic novel, particularly when it also involves reintroducing dozens of classic DC characters at the same time.

Nerdy News Bites 9/9/16
by Veronica “Roni” Sepulveda (@vRONIs)
Here we go nerds, another week of nerdy news for you! Check out the bites below.
10 Netflix Reality?!
Don’t worry it’s not the brainless kind. I’m super excited to see the return of Mythbusters alums: Kari Byron, Tory Belleci and Grant Imahara on December 9th in the White Rabbit Project! They’ll be investigating events from pop culture, history, and science. See more info here.
9 Kings of Con
A new trailer was released! This is something all of us Supernatural fans are looking forward to. Richard and Rob are awesome guys and we hope a Con Man crossover does happen! See more here.
8 Jean Grey
I never saw Apocalypse in the theater, did you see it? A deleted scene featuring Jean Grey was released this week. Sophie Turner is quite stunning, and it just makes me miss Game of Thrones all the more. LOL!
7 Doctor Strange
A new image was released of Strange in the sanctum.

6 The Flash
Speaking of trailers…the much anticipated third season of The Flash is almost upon us. A new trailer was released.
5 Zac Levi
One of our favorite dudes is putting his producing hat on and working with NBC to develop “Unidentified”, a sci-fi thriller drama. See more here. We’re all in with you Zac!
4 Underworld
The lovely Kate Beckinsale returns to kick some butt.
3 Apple
Lots of announcements this week from Apple, see all the specs for the iPhone 7 here, but I want to focus on the Nintendo partnership! Super Mario Run will be headed our way soon enough. Sign up to be notified when it’s released.
2 A Wrinkle in Time
Mindy Kaling and Reese Witherspoon are in talks to join Oprah in Disney’s A Wrinkle in Time. See more here.
1 Infinity War
The Russo brothers confirm the Tony and Steve Civil War divide will carry into Infinity War. I would hope so, that would be really weird if it was “quickly patched up.” It was a bit too intense for a band-aid. See more here. Meanwhile, Thanos is all…
As always, let me know what you’re looking forward to!
Nerd On!

Cinder Book Review
By: Carolyn Deas (@carolyndeas)
Thanks to my new job at a middle school, I have the opportunity to read more books than I ever dreamed. It was easy for me to make friends with the librarian (and the kids that would rather be there than in my class). The first suggestion I got from my new friend was the Lunar Chronicles.
When she started explaining it to me, I wasn’t convinced it would be something I’d like. I mean, Cinderella, but she’s a cyborg?
What?
But because I love fairy tales, I gave it a chance.
Oh. Em. Goodness.
I was floored by this book.
*Some Spoilers Ahead*
Cinder, a cyborg living with a woman that was forced to take her in after Cinder’s adopted father dies, is the top mechanic in her city and she’s only a teenager. The plague is taking many of the citizens in New Beijing, including her younger step sister. Thinking that it’s Cinder’s fault, her stepmother gives her away to the medics for testing in order to find a cure. While under quarantine, she finds that she can’t get the disease.
But that’s not all she learns.
She’s not just a cyborg. She’s a Lunar cyborg. She’s not a person of earth, and Lunars are not legally allowed to live on Earth. Since she can’t remember her life before she was 11 years old, she never suspects a thing.
Levana, the queen of Luna which is the country on the moon, is trying to buddy up to the new Emperor of New Beijing, Kai, after his father dies of the plague. In Levana’s attempt to create a partnership with Luna and Earth, Cinder figures out what her true plot is. She wants to marry Kai, kill him, and then take over Earth.
Can Cinder save the world?
The way that the author, Marissa Meyer, uses the nuances of the original story and shadows them in her series is just wonderful. Are you a fan of the show “Once Upon a Time”? This book reminded me a lot of that series because it’s not just Cinderella’s story, but readers also get glimpses of Red Riding Hood’s story (hers is the second book of the series, “Scarlet”) as well as Rapunzel’s (but she goes by Cress and is the center of the third book by the same name).
