Our borg Best of 2021 list continues today with the Best Books of 2021. If you missed them, check out our reviews of the Kick-Ass Heroines of 2021 here, the Best Movies of 2021 here, and the Best in TV 2021 here. And we wrap-up the year with our additions to the borg Hall of Fame tomorrow. We reviewed more than 100 books that we recommended to our readers this year, and some even made it onto our favorites shelf. We don’t publish reviews of books that we read and don’t recommend, so this shortlist reflects only this year’s cream of the crop. So let’s get going!

Best Sci-Fi, Best Tie-In Novel – Moments Asunder by Dayton Ward (Gallery Books). An engaging read and fun-filled start to a new trilogy, full of great throwbacks to all the Star Trek series, with several surprise characters and incorporated events, and a great update to Wesley Crusher. Runner-up: Star Trek: Picard–Rogue Elements (Gallery Books), by John Jackson Miller, provided a great story for a newer character, pulling into the mix the future of some familiar characters including the classic villain Kivas Fajo.

Stray Dogs–A dog discovers a killer in new murder mystery

Filed under: Comics & Books, Fantasy Realms — Leave a comment

February 2, 2021

Review by C.J. Bunce

It’s marketed as “Lady and the Tramp meets Silence of the Lambs,” which is pretty unsettling to begin with. It certainly looks like Disney’s 101 Dalmations. The first issue of the new five-part monthly comic, Stray Dogs, offers a touching introduction about a little dog named Sophie who is rescued into a house of a dozen dogs. She’s taken under the care of a dog named Rusty, but soon remembers the circumstances of leaving her past home–the new human in charge might be a murderer. It’s the stuff of high drama carefully revealed and beautifully illustrated. And damned creepy. One more thing: Paramount Animation has already apparently bought the film rights.

Check out a preview of the first issue of Stray Dogs below.
