Cover by Phil Winslade.

Fantastic full page explosion by Carlos.

Interviews with Paul Cornell and Nick Abadzis and a new comics feature on Rom of the Reds

The mind boggling detail in Winslade's Lawless art continues.

Haven't read the Demon Nic or Storm Warning yet.

The free floppy is Lobster Random

I always enjoy a Cliff Robinson cover with lovely colours from Dylan Teague. Looks like the new female ghostbusters have arrived just in time.

The Dredd epic continues to be my favourite thing in the prog with those glorious splash pages from Henry Flint. I wonder which art dealer has snapped them up. I don't think the Chief Judge should be on the front line, or that the other Judges would let her but I'll let Judge Burdis give his views on that in a future podcast.

Helium is lovely stuff as they pull off the Consider Phlebus hanger trick and make their escape.

It's early days for the Alienist so I'll sit tight for now. The setup of the disparate individuals gathered in the most haunted house in ..... dates back to Shirley Jackson and beyond to the legend of Borley rectory but it's not a bad start.

The other two strips finish and I need to reread the whole story to get the fuller picture. Atalia's future meeting with her bonkers Dad looks interesting.

Oh and there's a lovely letters page as well.

What do we get next week?

Posted from me phone while at the southern contingent gathering in forbidden planet

On the Britflicks podcast preview of Frightfest the producer Sean Hogan says they are looking at a general release in time for Christmas.

This will no doubt be up on Pete Wells' blog at some point but Alex Ronald posted the cover image without the logos on his Facebook page.

got my ticket to ride and my travel documents approved by the Chief Judge herself. See you in FP or the pub

Hoping there's not much recoil on one of those guns

No recoil on a laser blaster, except maybe at a quantum entanglement level. (I may have just made that last bit up)

A for Alpha

Really? Is this wise?

I'm still not over the reveal of Toby as the killer in Halo Jones

[eight]

Yes.  The prog tagline had eight hypens, and a 'more than' sign.

Which coincidentally is the emoji for walking to work because of a tube strike

I like the story that the three creators came up with the idea while drinking and then sobered up and thought "I wonder if that would work"

Trifecta. Pulling that off in the age of the Internet without any leaks. Astounding. Blew my socks off

And there's always "just one more thing"?
