‘2000AD: Prog 2440’ – Various

Image
  If you’ve been following the blog this week, you’ll know that this week has been the worst week, for reading, that I’ve had in a long time. I’ve been great at starting books, I’ve started loads (perhaps too many), but when it’s come down to finishing any of them… Yep, that’s when things went wrong :o) Apparently, ‘chemotherapy brain’ is a thing and can leave a chap short of concentration and memory. Thank goodness I was able to get more work done, than ‘books read’, this week… Fingers crossed for a quiet weekend and a better week, for reading, next week ;o) I did want to read at least one thing though, that wasn’t a work document, so on the way to a hospital appointment yesterday, I bought myself a copy of ‘2000AD’ to read in the waiting room. I didn’t read it in the waiting room, ended up talking to the man sat next to me, but polished it off on the way back home, go me ;o) I’m normally all about the trades (it’s the only way that I can guarantee getting the whole story, I’m rub...

Trailer: 'Bambi - The Reckoning'

Image
'Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey' was pretty dreadful but one of those films that you watch because, well... You have to don't you? ;o) I'll be honest, 'Bambi - The Reckoning' looks like more of the same but it feels like a step in the right direction. It does for me anyway, I love a bit of 'animal horror' and that's what the focus looks like here, Not sure it's a 'pay for a cinema ticket' movie but I'll definitely catch it when it's streaming.

'Judge Dredd, Day of Chaos: Fallout' - Various (Rebellion)

Image
I know I'm kind of phoning it in, so far this week, but honestly, this week has been non-stop with all sorts of crap and it's only Wednesday :o( I haven't had the chance, or the energy at the end of the day, to open a book (let alone read one) so I'm relying on the generosity of 'past me' to dig me out of a hole and give you guys a post today. I'll see what I can do about a 'proper' post tonight; I'm hoping that things will have calmed down a bit, lets see. Having posted about 'The Fourth Faction' and 'Endgame' , it only seemed right to round things off with the third book in this series. The original review can be found Here , it's all here now though ;o) Over the years, I've become used to Mega City One being trampled all over and millions of citizens dying. It's like an extra season in a way; 'Spring', 'Summer', 'Autumn', 'Winter' and 'Mega City One being beaten to within an inch...

'Judge Dredd, Day of Chaos: Endgame' - Various (Rebellion)

Image
If I had to describe yesterday using only one word... I'd be hard pressed to choose between 'anxious', 'overwhelming' and 'crappy'. Which is why I didn't manage to read anything last night, not even a couple of 'Black Library' short stories. You'll probably see those later in the week ;o) And that is why today, I'm rescuing another old review from the 'Land of Forgotten Blogs' and giving it a little airing here. I do try and keep the 'blog post recycling' to a minimum here but the last couple of weeks have been challenging so bear with me, just for a little bit longer. I'd already posted about 'The Fourth Faction' so it wasn't too much a leap to post about the next book in the series, 'Day of Chaos: Endgame'. The following review was originally posted Here but now, it's here ;o) Visitors to Mega City One will know that the city has a habit of getting the stuffing knocked out of it on a fairly ...

Catching Up With My Prime Watchlist...

Image
Last week was a funny old week, for one reason and another, capped off by having a tooth out at the weekend. I've got a horrible feeling that another couple (at least) will need to come out, at some point, but one step at a time and all that ;o) It's a new week so hopefully things will calm down a bit, hopefully... I didn't do too badly with my reading, last week, but my head was all over the place and when that's the case, I end up going through Prime Video and seeing if there's anything that will take my mind off things. I add films to my watchlist at an absolute whim so there's always something there that will take my mind off things :o) Four films this week, a couple of which were re-watches, let me tell you about them... 'Dead by Dawn' (2020) A suicidal man, in a remote cabin, is suddenly faced with protecting a woman fleeing from three killers. Unable to contact the outside world and with night drawing in, a fight to the death ensues where only the...

'Judge Dredd, Day of Chaos: The Fourth Faction' - Various (Rebellion)

Image
Apologies for the 'blogging silence' yesterday, I was out at the dentist and when I wasn't at the dentist, I was sat at home feeling all sore and sorry for myself (minus one tooth). Okay, I watched some movies as well but 'sore and sorry for myself' were the order of the day, that and a little sleep ;o) Where does that leave me today then? Well, reading clearly didn't really happen yesterday so I thought I'd do myself a favour and swipe an older review from elsewhere, just to give myself a little breathing space today :o) Funnily enough, 'The Fourth Faction' was due a post here but until I can sort some new glasses out, certain 'Rebellion' collections are a nightmare to read so... Here we are ;o) The original review can be found Here but it's here in its entirety so, lets go. Sometimes comic book continuity can really trip me up (I'm looking at you Marvel) but, on the whole, I'm a big fan of storylines that can be traced right ba...

Another Random TBR Pile... 'Weekend Reading' Edition

Image
It hasn't been a bad week, this week, there's just been rather a lot of it so... No book post today but, a 'post about books' is the next best thing ;o) Due to a number of things going on at the moment, I've got the attention span of a coked up goldfish and very little ability to focus on what I'm reading. The Black Library short stories are helping, a bit, but I'm after something a little more substantial so... I took a little journey among the shelves and grabbed a few books that caught my eye. The following TBR pile is heavy on the Black Library books but that's what's catching my eye right now and sometimes, you've just got to follow your instincts ;o) Lets check out the TBR Pile then... I told you it was a little 'Black Library heavy' ;o) I've always wanted a copy of 'Into the Maelstrom' so I can't very well just ignore it now I have one. Loads of bite sized short stories should hold my attention. I started reading ...
