* BookEnds: Wee Tian Beng's latest manhua series is a dramatic GenreShift from his usual {{Wuxia}}/Fantasy themed works in the form of Manhua/TheCelestialZone, with Neo Era a sci-fi work - which is a radical departure from what most of us are familiar with. But those who've followed Wee Tian Beng's works might recall that ''very'' early in his career his first works were also sci-fi series, namely ''Astronautics'' and ''New Frontier''.
