Keeping a eye on the market place
The latest in Babylon 5 merchandise reviewed and inspected

 

A not bad range of collectibles. Series one contains G'Kar, Sheridan, Delenn and Mollari. each come package with a ship (or station). The sculpting really is not up to par compared to a lot of figures on the market these days. As in the series the alien are far more realistic than the humans. Series 2 promises to have a Kosh figure which does look really nice, but hey they didn't have to sculpt a face on that one. More on them when ever they're released!

 

In Valens Name
by DC comics

A three issue mini series by J. Michael Straczynski, Michael Collins and David Roach. The final story of Babylon 4 and plenty of flashbacks to the Minbar and Valen in the first Shadow war. Great stuff, thoroughly enjoyed this one. why, oh why don't they make it a series.

 

Voices
by John Vornhalt

The first in a series of Babylon 5 novels, they must be in double figures already! It took me a while to get round to getting this, I knew it wasn't going to be ground breaking literature and the opening pages confirmed this. But I was soon involved in a fiendish plot with familiar characters (Though Kosh's motives where questionable). So I read on and I must say I was pleasantly surprised, nothing ground breaking but some generally entertaining scenes (usually involving Mr.Garibaldi) and a solid plot featuring a conspiracy to overthrow Psi Corp.
A lot of fun, I'm looking forward to getting the next in the series.

Babylon 5 security Manual
Jim Mortimore, Allan Adams & Roger Clark

This is one of those books written as if it was done by Michael Garibaldi and Zack Allan. This approach I find infanatly irratating, but their is some interesting information and some nice pics. So it's a pros and cons affair. If you want to know about alien holidays and the personal emblems on Ivanavo's starfury this is for you. in my opinion there should have been a lot more detail, rather than the brief description given, but there's a lot of good images and logos.
