Crap cover, really that boxy thing, tsk. Don't know the artist but I appologise for my frankness.

It's tidy-up time for the Meg, as various things come to a close.

I really enjoyed the end of America III, which has some top-notch twisted Wagner brain wizzyness! That's just the sort of thing Benny Beeny would do. The weirdo 'enjoyed' the dead body before he was put it on? did I read that right? .

Fiends is also great, although the twist is pretty similar to the one in the first Fiends story. I didn't mind at all. It's a lovely ending, too, with the heart.

It's not so odd seeing the Meg reprint a Meg story and I'm sure it will please people who haven't seen it before, but there must be others from annuals etc that would have been more obscure?

The end of Black Siddha makes me very happy.  Disjointed confusing tosh, is this anpother of Missis Mills ceribal fings wot I dont undastand?

I liked, Tales From The Black Museum, Great to see Ormston, too. His stuff is welcome in the right places, IMO.

Huzzah, a big bit on Cam K's/Grant/RLS Kidnapped!! hazzah again free copies in Libraries, guess who works in a Library? Sssssh!

Overall: not a bad Meg. I like.

Nice cover especially compared to the yucky Meg one it arrived with, although I'm usually a Coleby fan anyway. But I love seeing a wraparound.

Old Stoney Pus:
Basil Exposition and action wowski! Next week looks even better. "I was there." Body hell! Young Dredd! Can't wait! Aiieeeeeeeeee!

Chairy-scary a very good story but what's the twist?

I lost interest in SinDex about ten years back, despite its decent start, Shock Dex is back yawn-oh.    
Not for the first time in years I ask, 'Will it ever end?'  For surely it will come...

Red Seas, : "Some of your brainbox whizz-pokery, I'll wager!" Quote of the week award

Finally, Dante is back on form- and that's coming from a major detractor.
The art, the wonderful techy stuff,bits of silly intergalatic time whizz-pokery.
This one's got it all!

I'm far less long-winded than usual this week, but it's simply a top prog.

Can they sustain this brainbox whizz-pokery? I'll wager we all hope so.

- Mock McTrout

I call it unsustainable

huff

Logan, does that excuse work? The old 'I've got a headache' isn't working anymore...

Here's a wee bitty more on the big push on RLS kidnapped from Edinbra's City of books webpage.
As I said before on another thread, I saw a mock up at the festival and it looked good, not sure how they will handle up dating the auld speakit, anyway the wimmin I spoke to was sure they would tempt Cam to Auld Reekie for a signing in the New Year.


In February 2007, Edinburgh's very first citywide reading campaign will be taking off through the city.  Thousands of free copies of Robert Louis Stevenson's Kidnapped will be distributed across the city, with a month-long series of events planned to tie in to the campaign.  A brochure featuring a trail of Stevenson's Edinburgh will be on offer, and it will list all of the tie-in events happening in February.
Three new editions have been produced to celebrate the campaign to get people reading: a definitive classic copy with notes by Professor Barry Menikoff and an intoduction from Louise Welsh; a retold edition that keeps the adventurous essence of Stevenson's tale for a younger audience; and an exciting new, specially commissioned graphic novel edition by renowned illustrator Cam Kennedy and script writer Alan Grant.
If you want to hold events related to our campaign - perhaps your book group wants to read it, you want your school to be involved or you want to get your workplace enthused with the joys of reading - then drop us a line with ideas of how you'd like to link with the campaign.
More information will be released about the campaign over the coming weeks, and full resources, including an activity pack, and web resources, will be available in the New Year.
