There's no denying that this is the biggest rivalry in the entire world of science-fiction. While I don't see why a television show is always compared to a series of films, I've decided to give both arguments of this decade-long debate a shot.

Power Rankings: Neil Gaiman

Power Rankings is a series where I'll select a director, actor, writer, artist, etc. and rank their 5 best pieces of work. 

It's hard to put a label on the genre or style of Neil Gaiman's work. Whether it be a novel, lengthy comic book series or two-part Batman story, there is always something about it that makes it uniquely Gaiman in structure and content. Growing up in UK as a part of a Scientologist family, Gaiman was part of the "British invasion" of comics which included Grant Morrison and Jamie Delano. In the 90's, Gaiman also took a swing at the world of fiction, where he was a huge success once again. Here we'll take a look at Gaiman's 5 best pieces of work, whether they be comics or books.

Power Rankings: Grant Morrison

Power Rankings is a series where I'll select a director, actor, writer, artist, etc. and rank their 5 best pieces of work. 

Where to even begin when talking about Grant Morrison? The Scottish comic-book guru is known for his psychedelic stories, eccentric behavior, occult dwellings, alleged communication with John Lennon from beyond the grave and ranking as public enemy number one on Alan Moore's list. You either love Morrison or you can't understand why anyone would read anything written by this guy. His stories can often come off as confusing or strange, with odd plots that prove extremely difficult to follow. However, I've always said that the best way to read a Grant Morrison series is to let go of all preconceived notions you have about comic books and just enjoy the ride. Now let's take a look at Morrison's impressive body of work, and which 5 prove to be his best.

Ready Player One by Ernest Cline (2011)

Not since reading American Gods by Neil Gaiman have I been so obsessed with a book that I finished it within a few days of buying it, but as soon as I started Ready Player One, I was completely enthralled.

Top 10 Iconic Jackets in Film



Whether it be for a costume party or every day life, movies have always had a huge influence on the way people dress. When Marlon Brando started wearing plain white t-shirts on screen, sales of these shirts skyrocketed.

People love to look like Hollywood's finest, and what better way to do this than by dressing like them?

And so, here we'll take a look at one piece of clothing that people are always trying to get their hands on once they see it on film: the jacket.
