There's no shortage of life … Continue reading Alien Clay – Adrian Tchaikovsky

So... here we are. Twenty-two movies over eleven years, and one way or another we are in the Endgame. The Infinity Saga ends here. Last year's Infinity War ended on something of a cliffhanger, and we pick up with the aftermath of those devastating events.
