I’ve seen some of these creatures in person. Downside to working a literal stones throw from their celestial blood gathering- party conference…

Blood pressure high

This lurid headline is about British tourists no longer getting away with overstaying in Schengen. Or being 'illegals', as it's often called in the UK.

I don’t know what any of that means.

Also I fine Gail’s stuff consistently pretty good. I’ve not read her Wonder Woman run as yet but her BOP and Sinister Six runs were excellent.

Peter Strickland did a Q&A at @cpxmcr.bsky.social on Saturday and I ended up have a chat with him about films for an hour afterwards. He’s a cool guy and he should be hired to do more films.

I try and do this as much as possible.

A few online orders or in-store book purchases would be a nice way to support Books Upstairs after this horrible attack. Who does this? To an independent book shop?
