Quote from: BadlyDrawnKano on 13 May, 2024, 04:31:51 PM...And I've very conflicting feelings about Black Hammer, though partially that's because I loved how it began, but then it ended in a manner I didn't gel with, except that wasn't the ending, and what I've read of it since then has left me unsure of the direction it's going in. I've yet to finish it currently, and I don't even know if the most recent ending is the final ending, and given that I'm not sure I've the inclination to find out...

Oh man I have mixed feeling about Black Hammer - The End. I'd pretty much loved all of Black Hammer to that point, the odd exception aside and think I've got pretty much it all. Then 'The End' kinda read like the very thing it was paying tribute to as an inspiration. Just a great big event comic tyoe feel. Now that doesn't feel like it should have been a bad thing, but it strangely was on first reading.

Black Hammer has its place on my countdown and that set now BUT I had such mixed feeling about the end I've got that final (I believe) series out to re-read before I write it up as it may well change my entry (if not postion) as it might become about how sticking the landing can be so important!

We'll see I have a suspision I'll enjoy it more on re-read so I'm trying to reserve judgement!

Quote from: Hawkmumbler on 07 May, 2024, 09:22:24 AMEvery year for about 5 years now I've been promising I'll make Lawless someday. Think it was about 2 years ago I promised myself I'd make it, if I wasn't able to do so sooner, to the 10th anniversary convention.

Initially I wrote it off, as the weekend in question is when I was supposed to be doing a van run to help my sister move into her temporary summer digs in Manchester before she starts Uni in September.
Turns out that's been delayed until the following weekend, so might sneak in a cheeky Saturday only trip.
See folks there!

oh that's fantastic news. Its been too long since we caught up Zac.

Belated response but likewise Colin, been far far too long.
Tickets for both Saturday con and trains all lined up, see folks there!

SPACE BATTLESHIP YAMATO: STAR BLAZERS 2199

A reboot of sorts to the original Yamato movie series with elements of the assorted sequels, spin-off and reimagining that came out in the intervening 40 years sprinkled in for good measure, but very much its own beast with its own story to tell.
Like my recent run of Gundam marathons, I had intended to pace myself at two episodes a day as a 2nd daily workout tonic. Ended up binging the whole twenty-five episode run in three days.
If you've found yourself with a space opera sized whole in your heart of late and need something to plug the gap, I'm not sure I can recommend it highly enough.

Well I'm glad that I messed the spoiler contents now because those tags didn't work like I expected.

Just listened to the ThrillCast podcast which is an interview with Mike Carroll. If anyone else has listened to the bit about Proteus Vex, did we already know this news? I'll spoiler it but it's not about plot details [spoiler]This[/spoiler]
