Hellblazer a day 212, by Carey & Manco. Who wins? John and the First of the Fallen do. Mostly the Devil though. Not sure I like the ending, but there's a couple Carey issues left.

Hellblazer a day 211, by Carey & Manco. Just when I think John's been to much on the back foot, he steps up. Rosacarnis will need help to beat her father Nergal. Deal with John Constantine or die.

Hellblazer a day 210, by Carey & Manco. More Nergal backstory as he & John get closer to his domain and hopefully to Gemma. Only 5 Carey issues left.

I enjoyed listening to this entertaining chat about the verbose Black Orchid novelisation earlier, and you might also like it if that kind of thing appeals to you.
Helllo Everyone! This week on the Maran Chess Club, @pljquinn.bsky.social returns to talk Books n Stuff, with Black Orchid by Terrance Dudley. So empty your mind & hold off on enthusiastic stroking and join us!

Doctor Who: The Missing* Adventures – Cold Fusion is a crossover between two Doctors and two novel ranges
*And New. Ish.
So from a couple of weeks ago, coincidentally a different podcast discussed it, too.
But this story’s also become a crossover between two media! So, in recent podcast #4…

In which I prove I don’t only guest on podcasts about the New Adventures, with a Fifth Doctor story…
Doctor Who: The Novel Adaptations – Cold Fusion
…Which, er, happens to co-star the Seventh Doctor and NA companions.
Host Luke was enormous fun for the only adaptation I prefer to the book (and why)

Hellblazer a day 206, by Mike Carey & Guiseppe Camuncoli. What a team. I'm not a huge fan of really REALLY bad shit happening to Chas. Nergal has made things bubble up to the surface. This was a hard read.
