Saddle up, Troopers. We're excited to reveal that @2000ad.bsky.social will continue to sponsor CBCC in 2026. And, gosh, it's gonna be a great year with the bitter war between the Norts & the Southers being depicted in Duncan Jones' ROGUE TROOPER flick. Lisa's recent Nu-Earth fandom is ready.

Suspect a major issue with this kind of book is that, by the time they hit shelves, all the specific details that might make them worth reading in the first place have already been broadcast and dissected for weeks. If you got the précis from an SNL sketch on Instagram, why bother buying it?

Silver is one of the reasons I keep my subscription to 2000AD. While the prog does stories based on 40-year-old characters, it also does new stuff like "what if your sci-fi dystopian war unleashed a grumpy vampire on the alien invaders?" (Also, a rare case of an older woman as an action hero.)
Silver: Unearthed "establishes a gruesome situation exceptionally well, not least by the addition of a vampire to a SF action thriller". Mad plot from Michael Carroll and exceptional art from Joe Currie.

Borag thungg, earthlets! @2000ad.bsky.social is my favourite thing ever, so it was an honour to be guests on the Thrillcast. We talk about the comic, Britain in the 70s and 80s and how it influenced 2000AD, and much more!

Oxfordshire County Council has just published data on the first month of the congestion charge! Love the level of granularity.

In summary, huge speed up in bus times in city centre, slight increase on some outer roads; massive city centre footfall growth.

A War Without End ⚔️

When the English Civil Wars broke out in 1642, many expected that one great battle would decide it, but after the inconclusive Battle of Edge Hill, it became clear the conflict was set to drag on.

If some guy stole my shit and made millions off it while wiping out my job prospects, and you, as my friend, bought that guy's cheap mass market replica of my shit, you and i would for obvious reasons have a problem. It being a massive company, not a guy, actually makes it even more of a problem.

Ah. I see people are learning about how the Superhero-Industrial Complex actually works.

Might I recommend a book that tells you how we got to this terrible state of affairs?

⏰ It's time for change on immigration policy - We all agree on that much!

Labour so far have got it all wrong, chasing hostile headlines that will only make our system crueller, society more divided & immigrants easier to exploit.

BUT THERE IS ANOTHER WAY!!
