Most of my copies are still in cellophane so I'm getting through reading them in fits and starts.

 am struggling with ABC Warriors though. Just started Book 3 after slogging through 2. Maybe its because every episode feels quite packed. I think it's one of those strange strips that is actually better weekly rather than collected.

In comparison I'm streaking through SinDex 3.

Just read The Small House collection for the first time. I fairly motored through that in a couple of days. What a good series of stories. Apart from the weird alien invasion bit.

Literally just received Tales of the Telguuth as part of my sub!

And with it Part 2 of Defoe.

Defoe is bonkers isn't it? Is there any actual rules to this universe? Seems to be weird shit happens, then weird shit happens, then weird shit happens. Why square bullets for zombies? Think I should hold on and enjoy the ride.

My goodness. How good is Brink? I didn't like the artwork for it at first (the faces still annoy me) but it is perfectly suited to the story.

Well happy to be introduced to this.

I remember The Variety! Wasn't one of my most frequented pubs, but did use it sporadically.

Actually clocked the name change when I was doing a virtual tour of Preston a few months ago.

Might even make a trip of it and bring them up to you!

Sounds good to me! It would be appropriate for his stuff to end up in a pub.

Which pub do you have? Lived in Preston for three years last century.

If you want to email me I'm at badandy@btinternet dot com

Hey everyone,

Just before Christmas my father sadly died and I've since been spending an inordinate amount of time sorting out his flat.

One of the things he did have which surprised me were the first 20-odd issues of the Eaglemoss partworks collection for Star Trek Graphic Novels. https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Star_Trek_Graphic_Novel_Collection#Special_Editions:_Crossover_and_Miniseries_releases

These aren't really my bag, so I wondered if anyone on here would like them? I can ditch them at a charity shop but I'd rather they go to a good home. There seems to be a lot based around the new films.

He presumably paid about £250 for these things. Many are still sealed and we still have the bookends and strange tin covers and tinbox with movie posters in. No lapel badge though.

The only snag - these are in Manchester and will need to be picked up. I aint going any posting as I still have a lot on my plate - but they are in immaculate condition.

It's East Manchester so closer to Sheffield/Leeds than Liverpool, but by no means inaccessible.

So any takers? Free to a good home.

As we won’t be seeing them in the Hachette collection I got Mazeworld and Summer Magic collections from the tooth sale. Really liked Luke Kirby but think it needed to step up a gear if it was to continue in any way.

Thanks guys. How did Shakara end up in the Meg? & Fiends for that matter?

<looks at Barney>... all of Middenface's solo appearances in the Meg would fit in a single Hachette volume.

Have we had any Meg content in this range? Not really been paying attention

Revere. Ugh. Did not enjoy that at all first time round.

The good thing is with me taking a three month sabbatical is that I'll be able to see more clearly what's up ahead in this extension extension.

I'm assuming the ownership situation rules ur any Harry Exton stuff?

After Struggling with Hinckleton Nemesis for two months, I’ve now gone through Brink Volume One in a day.

Pretty entertaining. Artwork goes a little ropey at times, but clean storytelling.

Looking forward to Vol 2. May even give that audiobook a whirl.

Think I read DR & Quinch. And I feel i have read Firekind recently.

So Brink. As I know next to nothing about it.

Ta.

Finally finished Nemesis.

Any recommendations for a palate cleaner? I've already done Dante, Ace Trucking, Robohunter and Strontium Dog
