I can get the Cordon hate - he is a bit of an annoying shit.

Still have a soft spot for Gavin & Stacey though

Would it be okay if I brought a Toffee Crisp?

Are you going to bring one for everybody?

A Hershey might be welcome.

<Cough>

Grud, I've been flat out, and neglecting the board a bit so I'm probably way too late, but if not could you please add my name to the list of condolences? Thank you!

Ditto for me.

Cheers Jim.

Megatropolis, Dreddnaughts,

Will be back when they are.

Just to clarify; I never genuinely suggested that it's intended to be read as "Major Rack on her", t'was just that my own puerile mind jumped to that mildly amusing conclusion.

Will keep the innuendo commentaries strictly alluding to demonic dildos for the remainder of '21.

Maybe for the 45th we could just all meet in a park with a bag of cans and a picnic.

Now yer talking.

[The Conjuring: The Lover]

Big horror fan, and of The Conjuring movies, so picked up the 1st issue of The Conjuring: The Lover there at the weekend.

Best thing about it was the fab retro cover by Art Droid Garry Brown.

Otherwise, a pretty weak offering in my view.
First half of the comic contained an uninspired set-up for the main arc, second half of the comic contained a pretty poor one-off 'Thargs Terror Tales' style story by Scott Snyder of all people. I know the guy can write terrific horror (such as the outstanding 'Severed' and 'Wytches'), so a real missed opportunity here.

I had already blindly pre-ordered issue 2 on ComicHub, but other than a satanic miracle, I won't be back for more after that.

Not for any reason in particular, but after all these years, this was the Meg that made me pull the plug on the standing order in my LCS.
I think I only bothered reading the meat & potatoes Dredd.

A freestyle life of cherry picking awaits - will keep an eye on the monthly Meg threads for the return of some of the strips or creators I enjoy.

Interesting - Spacewarp has teamed up with Shift (such a great comic check it out) to produce a newstand edition.

So Major Rakhana has a modest bra cup size, eh?

what?

Try reading her name in an Australian accent.

I dunno lads, I may have to completely re-evaluate everything I thought I knew about the Bazooka Jules comic too.

would love to see another such event.

The 40th event was literal lightning in a bottle - I cannot see it being replicated in future years due to the absence of creators and fans we have since lost, and those we could possibly lose before the 50th.

Cheers lads, have looked around there a bit over the weekend, but still can't find a retailer that would place you on a 'guaranteed' pre-order list (including Smyths Toys).
My offer of pre-paying the €500 in advance was laughed at.

Really now isn't an ideal time to become a first time home owner, but then no time since 2008

Can confirm that pre-2008 was no picnic either.

Best of luck with the new digs, Hawk.

I never could sympathize those babbling idiot Belters, so was delighted when Season 5 gave me a reason to embrace my xenophobic hatred.

Earth must come First.

Halfway through 2021 and still can't get my hands on a PS5 for love nor money.

Anyone know if pre-orders are available from any UK / ROI retailers?
