Hellblazer a day 187, by Carey & Doug Alexander Gregory. Gemma is with a magician named Ghant & they are going to Anthrax island to atone for something that happened 20 years ago. Something involving her uncle John. Gemma Constantine getting into the family biz? I like it.

Hellblazer a day 185, by Carey & Frusin. John & Angie head to Tasmania to get more info about the Shadow Dog. This one hits hard, it's a story about how the white man wiped out the aboriginal people. A dark piece of real Australian history.

Have I said this run is tremendous yet?

Don't know. Just found out it existed a couple of weeks ago.

Hellblazer a day 185, by Carey & Frusin. John & Angie travel to the border of Eden to find out more about the Shadow Dog. In order to get what he wants, John has to convince people he didn't steal something. He did though, but managed to con them. Great mix of magic John & Conman John. Sooo good!

Was a bloody long day, but finally read today's issue. So far Carey is having the best run since Jenkins.

Hellblazer a day 184, by Carey & Marcelo Frusin. John & Angie go to South America to find out about the dog at the 3 door. John asks Swamp Thing & the guy Bokari who he helps con some rich asshole out of his soul.

Fucking loving this and Frusin's Swamp Thing is gorgeous.

Hellblazer a day 183, by Carey & Bermejo. John meets up with Angie & they save her brother & as many people as they can as they close the doorway between the living and the dead.

Some kinda beast is waiting for 3 doors to open. Bloody hell this is good.

Warhammer, the only IP with book scalpers.

Necron Omnibus out next week I bloody well want one.
grumpy2eb.bsky.social
Yeah I don't wanna hear anyone complaining that Lungbarrow is 400ish Dollarydoos. Warhammer book prices are grim dark.

It also wants Oskar to beat the shit outta Shooter.

Abnett can do it all. I knew him from comics first.

I'm listening to Xenos now. It's awesome and the narrator is incredible.

My brain wants Warhammer AND Doctor Who. So I'm doing both.
grumpy2eb.bsky.social
My fave Doctor Who writer has done Warhammer? Yeah. I'm in.
grumpy2eb.bsky.social
It's fucking chaos behind the scenes, but on screen its all magic. I adore Steven. The War Machines is ahead of its time and near perfect.
grumpy2eb.bsky.social
Excited to keep being a part of it.

Fitz is the best.
