Bad Sisters series one was ace. Word on the street is that series 2 is nae so good.
I loved Shrinking, and obviously Slow Horses is a must watch. So is Ted Lasso.I loved Lessons in Chemistry, Spirited but I think those are more personal.
The Afterparty was light and fun.
I need to see if Dick Turpin and Time Bandits were any good, but I have a feeling they were not
Severance I keep meaning to commit to.1 user thanked author for this post.

I completed Six Fingers and The One Hand last night and, it didn’t quite work. I could see what they wanted to do, and the point they wanted to make but I am a meme that is shrugging. It started well, got the right sort of mood and then it was all daddy issues and shouting. Too much Lost, not enough Blade Runner

I picked up the first trade last year (or ’22 – what even is time any more) when Zavvi had a quick flurry of remaindered trades and I really enjoyed it. Not been able to get the remaining ones yet. Hopefully people jumping on the omnibus will sell them off and lower the going rate.

Strikforce Morituri omnibus
hmm tricky one. I have the three trades that where really hard to track down.
I think I might wait and bet on a deep discount after it goes on sale.

And what’s with the flickering images throughout the series
I’m sure when Sue appeared as the tea lady she was all blury swirly for a few seconds,
I can’t say I’ve noticed either of these. I just checked that bit of the Devil’s Chord on iPlayer and she seemed normal enough.
It was just my version! Spooky

And what’s with the flickering images throughout the series? I assume that’s building up to something. I do hope we’re not the only ones to have noticed those, and it’s not just my TV being possessed!
Yes yes. I’m sure when Sue appeared as the tea lady she was all blury swirly for a few seconds, but I couldn’t find it on YouTube etc, so put it down to transmission or receiver issues.
But maybe…

I photographed a few pages of Maxwell the Magic Cat for another forum, and I thought one or two of the folk here might be interested…
If these are too big and I need to put them elsewhere and link them in, let me know
(if you want a few more pages, also let me know)

Are you reading The Six Fingers too? They work together nicely.
I wasn’t till you told me about it!
That’s good stuff. Thanks.
It’s a clever approach between these two books. Must have required quite a bit of coordination between the two writers.
Naaa, they are both C.B. Cebulski

I read Forgotten Lives last week. Not expecting much, but hoping it might be fun, or at least the Lance Parkin story would be interesting.
And I really enjoyed it. I have to admit, i couldn’t help but read many of the doctors as Pertwees, but that might be a me problem. Some of the stories were slight, but some were fascinating. All were fun and were heads above most Dr Who short story collections.
Gauntlet of Absolution was a fine fine read and Parkin’s Past Lives was of course very good
I’m looking forward to reading vols 2 and 3, though a fear it could be a struggle lining up each doctor from the previous story.

For me, it was not that he messaged a 17 year old, this is not the problem. It was the totes creepy things things he wrote to her. What I read screamed of coercive and grooming language. From someone from a background of helping a teenager out from abuse and control, it was disturbingly immediately bad – teeth grindingly so. Its exactly the language that you would use to probe your chances of coercive control.
This is from a man who used language and storytelling for a living.
And his defence was, quite frankly, shite. This is from a man who used language and storytelling for a living.
I’m sad he killed himself.
He had a lot of hard work to do and I’m disappointed he chose not to take that path.I don’t blame the folk who read those messages, who no doubt have seen many similar and went: FFS, male comic creators, can you just not?
I don’t know who to blame, but I think those who are absolving this creep of responsibility are wrong, no matter how good his podcast was.4 users thanked author for this post.

I’ve not read many suicide notes but I don’t think I’ve ever seen one with such “I am not the one who is owned” vibes. Suicide is a messy and complicated thing but however and whyever it happens it’s clear it does damage to those around the person who does it and it seems Piskor has weaponised that against the people he (allegedly) wronged and… it’s hard to feel sympathetic to that. His note reads very similarly to posts on forums or social media from people flouncing off after being called out on their own bullshit.
I can agree with this. I went and looked at the few comic creators mentioned (in the note) on twitter that I hold is some regard. (Imperfect, maybe have fucked up), to see if i was going to be disappointed.
At least on twitter, their posts seemed to be reasonable and unsurprising, whilst shenanigans maybe went on elsewhere, the public parts seemed to be more “please male comic creators stop doing this”, not “unlife yrself”.

I watched the Watchmen (haha) this last few weeks, and… I liked it. Actually, I really enjoyed it. It wasn’t perfect but there is a lot of worse TV out there. My partner, who has little idea who Alan Moore is other than who wrote the really big expensive books on my shelves, and who cannot remember a thing from the Watchman film she saw a year ago, seemed to really enjoy it also.
I enjoyed a comic book TV series wanting to be about things. To provide layers. To be weird but tell a story. It was more coherent than Twin Peaks the return for sures :)
Its a shame that Clint Mansell didn’t do the music to be honest, thematically speaking, but Trent was a good second choice.

Yeah, I’m totally in. I love it when Gillen does superhero revisionism. Peter Canon was also him an Wijngaard, and that was great.
Yeah, that was maybe his best book.
Peter Cannon is so under appreciated. Its fascinating in several different dimensions.

Some good news?
My only complaint, if I’m being petty, is that the story just ends rather than concludes, and it’s 2 years later with no sign of #7 being released. There are few answers to the many questions asked, about this world, and the characters that inhabit it. I’m eager for more. Whenever that may be.

It’s also quite different from your typical Hickman super hero book. It’s a more grounded, and character focused than is the norm.
But were there circles?
