In this issue

In the latest issue of STARBURST, we celebrate the 40th anniversary of The Empire Strikes Back with a countdown of 40 reasons why the film is so treasured. We also look back at what the late, great thought John Brosnan thought at the time of the original release.

That’s not all; we also look at how Shadows of the Empire became the stuff of Legends.

Elsewhere, we chat to Red Dwarf co-creator about the latest adventure The Promised Land and World War Z writer tells us about his new Bigfoot novel Devolution.

We look forward to the return of heading to the cinema, as we preview Christopher Nolan’s Tenet and the latest from the DC Cinematic Universe and the welcome second film for the Soldier of Truth, Wonder Woman 1984. You can also get ready for the return of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. with our look back to the saga so far.

If that’s not all, we meet The Flintstones as they reach the ripe old age of 60 plus much, much more.

Plus all your favourite COLUMNS, NEWS and REVIEWS from the worlds of SCI-FI, HORROR and FANTASY!

HORROR, MONSTER, SUPERHERO, APOCALYPSE: MOVIES IN TIMES OF CRISIS
