Prepped for signing ✍️ (no realistic expectation Frank Miller will actually sign my comics tbf 😅). T-shirt is 30+ years old.
The new Spider-Man film looks great with a solid story and characters behind it but I still prefer it in the original Greek.

Gosh! Comics@goshcomics.bsky.social · 3w agoIt’s become a tradition here to do something special with Rebellion each year celebrating the Galaxy’s Greatest Comic, @2000ad.bsky.social! The cult sci-fi comic has been an integral part of the shop’s history and we want to celebrate our 40th anniversary this year by hosting a very special signing!
JOE AND PETUNIA: FLAGS (1970) Here's Wendy Craig and Peter 'voice of the Daleks' Hawkins in the second of four PIFs starring the appalling holidaymakers. This time it's all about safety while swimming, but never mind that - the noise Petunia makes licking her ice cream is terrifying!
OSSOFF: Who won the 2020 election? CLAYTON: Uhm, you know, I'm not going to do this with you O: This is a job interview. You have an obligation to be honest with the committee. Who won the 2020 election? C: I'm not gonna get into that with you O: You're not being honest or forthright C: ...

I'm thinking of doing a "Ministry of Space" Artist Edition. I don't think there would be demand a for a big print run. But if I could do a decently priced Ltd. Edition I think it could be cool.
Book of the year for me so far is without doubt Clement Knox’s ‘Scramble for America’ which is just incredible and packed full of so many jaw-dropping moments. Wonderful writing that illuminates how the US came to exactly how it is 🇺🇸 for good or ill.
![[Scene is at sea - we see Odysseus’s ship sailing past an island]
NARRATOR:
And next on his Odyssey
Sir Christopher Nolan led his followers
[We see that instead of Odysseus it is CHRIS NOLAN captaining the ship]
Past the Island of X
Inhabited by People Who Criticise Films From Just Watching The Trailer
[Show a load of guys on the rocks of the island, all tapping away on their phones]
They were led by their King,
the Musk.
The Musk stayed up all night in his cave
[Show a giant Elon Musk hunched over his computer at night in a cave, tapping away]
Posting comments about how he thinks Lupita Nyong’o is the wrong colour to be Helen of Troy, who wasn’t real
But Sir Christopher was immune to the song of the people of X
because he famously didn’t have a smartphone.
NOLAN [at the front of his ship, bellowing into the storm and waving his Nokia brick phone]:
I DON’T EVEN HAVE EMAAAAIL
[Narrator again]:
And he turned to his followers
NOLAN [turning to all the guys on his ship, all Nolanbro types, looking at their phones]
MEN!
Put down your mobile telephones! Do not listen to the sirens of X!
[Intense, Nolan-style close up on Nolan’s big, serious face]
NOLAN:
Some people will not like my big serious film…
But some people will like it...
and that’s fine.
[Ship sailing into the distance]:
MEN:
Hurrah!

The Sentinels review – this thrilling drama about super soldiers proves TV can be done differently

It’s exciting, propulsive and not based on the same old threadbare franchises … this adaptation of a French comic book series is a steampunky tale of a secret experiment to inject wounded first world war fighters with a serum

My review of Evolution. The BBC series, not the concept. But to be fair, I'm a big fan of both. @chrisgpackham.bsky.social www.ft.com/content/c6c0...
Why new BBC series Evolution is a giant leap forward for science on TV
Adam Rutherford salutes a show that finally links the spectacle of natural history with the science that explains it

Ahead of England v Norway in the World Cup, enjoy this classic from my old pal Patrick Kidd in The Times
Naima Bock at the Alton Arts Festival last night - blissful stuff (especially with the air-Con 😏)
I’ve just been looking at the 50% off sale in the 2000ad shop. Lots of bargains like both Scream collections, also the recent new Trigon Empire book which is half price despite only being released less than 2 months ago! shop.2000ad.com/catalogue/on...
“It’s just a meteor shower. Stop catastrophising” From the new Private Eye, out now.
Very much enjoyed Katherine Priddy’s performance at the Alton Arts Festival this evening (was a bit warm 🥵 though)
