I mentioned on Twitter recently1 that I liked FF #1, the newest iteration of Jonathan Hickman’s run on Fantastic Four, a hell of a lot. Other comic reviews were busy orgasming over the new issue of Batman Inc., which in fairness is quite good.2 But for me, FF was far and away the best comic […]

Toby S.: What do you think the odds are that the shenanigans unfolding in Wisconsin will have any lasting effect on US internal politics? About even, I think.

I’m getting a bit bored just posting images during my study hiatus, so: ask me anything. About work, not-work, Al’Rashad, my other stuff, the blog, what I had for breakfast yesterday, whatever.
