Welcome to the New Era.
A committed subscriber to the #ForteanTimes, lover of genre fiction in general. Horror, sci-fi, superheroes and anything pulpy.
What if the toy line in-universe is "Vikor And The Lords Of Power"? And for an extra mind-blowing twist, the toy line was created by Eternian refugees adapting their own culture's myths and legends while fleeing the Horde or the Snake Men?

Oh, the stories coming out of this deeply ridiculous crossover between companies... Bob Layton standing over Liefeld like a Victorian schoolmaster. Non-conventionally numbered issues, so there's no way to establish a coherent reading order.

Well, it is also sort-of a dog horror film. Like the "Fur Babies" segment of V/H/S Beyond stretched out to feature-length.

And the other flavour of pre-mixed cocktail in tiny cans that really appeals to my sensibilities. Rum, raspberry and lime with a dash of vanilla. More of a summer drink, this, served over a generous measure of expertly crushed ice.

Including his final episode, where he announces that he is moving to an apartment in Boca Raton with two sexy ladies, and then is never seen in the franchise again?

What've I been doing while you've been getting coffee for an hour? Digging a huge hole in the middle of the street. We should probably get a deeper reading, somebody's gotta go down there.

Wasn't this also one of Chuck Austen's Barely Disguised Fetishes™️that ended up getting him blacklisted from mainstream superhero comics? Well, this and writing Havok of the X-Men fucking a self-insert of his own wife.

Oh good, "The Finishing Line". A film I'd not seen since a school assembly in 1987. Which was strange, since where I lived then hadn't had a railway line or station since the 1960s. Massive electricity substation, though #PlayItSafe

Here is the friend I have made since moving house three years ago! Her name is Maisie and she is 9 years old, a lovely black Labrador retriever.

FIGHTING THE SYSTEM FROM WITHIN: WHY WE CHOOSE TO WORK AT TEXAS HOMECARE and other explanatory pamphlets available now out the front of Mr. Dennis's newsagent and sweet shop.

Now these have arrived, and the brand name "Wavers" is a very important clue. Imagine Quavers, but pizza flavour! That is exactly what these are, bringing back memories of spicy tomato Snaps and the much-missed Bitza Pizza.

I am certainly picturing Ozzy with a hard hat and hi-vis vest over his PRINCE O' FUCKIN DARKNESS trews and shirt, a "naughty schoolboy" look on his face and carrying an uprooted road sign on the back cover of said album.

Well, our TVs back then ran at only 50hz, so we had more time to react to things.

It all depends on how David Walliams judges your performance noshing him off through the glory hole (which is ironically made using props and scenery recycled from GhostWatch) and nobody is allowed to say anything more about the process.
