I did very light outlines for Defenders of Light and Dark (and the basic plot is part of the larger QIB whole) but Tom Waltz had final say on teams and did all the page-by-page plotting and scripting. If you like what you read there, Tom should get 99% of the credit.

Maybe us less young folk could make a few sacrifices for the greater good, like the younger generation still having a livable planet when they're our age. Like not driving a tank to b&q, or being able to look at a solar farm without having a tantrum, or making that village fete poster ourselves

“Ride the Rocket” by The Funky Space Nation has the potential to be a banger, a banger I tell you the fools call me mad

Post your hottest music take. Mine is New Order is better than Joy Division.

Almighty-type “add a litre of drum machine” covers 1000% beat indie-ass “slow down a banger, make it sad” covers. See the ur-examples, PSB Always On My Mind and Gary Jules Mad World

It’s important to understand “age verification” and “kick the kids off social media” laws as a gift to Big Tech. These policies allow surveillance capitalism to chug along full steam ahead and let Silicon Valley giants off the hook. Instead of regulating their biz model, we just put up age gates

James Marsden uses his optic blast to carve a legally binding affidavit into a cliff face stating that his eyes are portals to a dimension of pure concussive force, a Punch Dimension if you will

Is there a more depressing phrase than "we are finally giving the fans what they want"

We haven't heard much from the Minister for Radium for a while...

Fucking PHONE! Just responded “great minds” and it filled in the “think alike” for me and made me look like a twat. Cool people leave half their proverbs implied, PHONE!

Will you still need me, will you still feed me (goals)

The billionaires have a vision of the future, and in it, many of us are dead. Not because they all want to kill us (some of them want to kill some of us), but because we are simply surplus and expendable in their eyes.

I’ve said this before privately and now I’m saying it on the record Go check the status of your voter registration and set a recurring reminder to do it again this time in two weeks. Do not let this lapse.

We all love classic boxing move “the rope-a-dope” but it does not always translate well to other sports

A goal is not an egg, it turns out

You write your eulogy in life. If you want people to mourn, make your life something to celebrate. If you want people to celebrate, make your life something to mourn.

I did my dissertation on the Video Recordings Act (1984). This was key to the story as the distributors fought the charges and won, and I had to get signed permission to watch the University library's copy. I was gobsmacked that Sam Neill was in a 'Video Nasty' but that's how versatile he was.

Never forget that time Sam Neill gave a quote about murder that was so beautifully kabonkers, we all assumed it was a Clickhole bit initially

Always present on the Thor playlist and the Guardians playlist before it. (Have a listen to “Call Me Thunder” if you want a good Thor track.) “Fresh from the fight… and larger than life!” was the tagline of the Hercules solo I never got to do. RIP Bonnie Tyler, who always brought it and then some.

RIP Bonnie Tyler, an absolute goddess. This isn't even the only comic I've written where Total Eclipse is central, as central as it was to all those years when we DJed, and became the ceremonial phonomantic ending, because where can you go from here? Apex pop culture.

In the US listening to the US commentators struggle with the absolute hammering

For me, it was Pride today

UK chums, this is a great time to take a minute and sign. Show Burnham that Starmer and Streeting’s bigotry isn’t acceptable.
