As I reread CRIMINAL, I really start to think that secretly, this is Image Comics best book and it’s not even close.

Granted, I haven’t read them all so what do I know. Anyway, The Last of the Innocents was a gem of a story. #comic

Took in an early screening of Fantastic Four First Steps and was pleasantly surprised. The cast are all great, they get the characters right, and embrace the nuttiness of the Jack Kirby comics from the ‘60s. Added bonus - you don’t have to do any homework AND they gave me a free badge. RESULT!

12 episodes into Hardcastle & McCormick and the car is in it a lot less than I remember but Brian Keith and Daniel Hugh Kelly are a really good double act. Cannell’s dialogue (or his writing team) is far funnier than people give it credit for.

The sun is blazing so an early start with dog walking, then coffee and comics. Picked this up on a whim as it’s an interesting premise - it’s a comic from within the film! This is really fun and sets up the movie well. It’s also made me more interested in the film.

Proof, if any were needed, that films are are much better than reality, in Heads Of State Idris Elba is the UK Prime Minister & John Cena is the US President. Both are attacked on Air Force One en route to a NATO conference. Far more entertaining than it has any right to be.

Kicked off a mini Danny Boyle season with Shallow Grave, his first film. Gloriously ‘90s nowadays, the 3 leads are all great as the most obnoxious flatmates anyone could ever want. The ending is more satisfying than logical but it was a magnificent calling card.

Apparently there’s a new Superman movie out. If you want a look at where it all began, the comics, non award winning but long running comics podcast, HEY KIDS, COMICS! Now in its 15th year, has you covered.

Despite being a child of the 80s and watching the cartoons and films, I’ve never read a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles comic. Read The Last Ronin and it’s really good. Comparisons to The Dark Knight are apt but you don’t really need to know a lot about the Turtles to get something out of this.

Geoff Johns and Bryan Hitch tell the story of Simon Pure, British redcoat turned immortal in the war of independence. Things get wild when he has to team up with an also immortal Benedict Arnold and a young Albert Einstein, to prevent the destruction of America! Surprisingly fun to read.

Exhibit A why I love 1960s Marvel Comics.

“The Origin of Nick Fury’s Eyepatch!”

Brilliant!
