FLASH #776 has a lot of fun with the fact that the reader is physically holding a comic, and asks them to interact with it to help progress the story.

I loved MARVEL GOLD ‘76 by @stephsmash.bsky.social and Madibek Musabekov. Jack Of Hearts is one of my favourite minor Marvel characters. He dresses like a playing card and has adventures in space! He’s a poet! He dates the She-Hulk! Honest, it somehow all works. Comics, everybody!

Manchán Magan was one of the most eloquent thinkers about Ireland and Irishness, and it’s always a pleasure to spend time reading one of his books and reflecting on those thoughts.

The decline is real, but comparing against 2022 is still affected by a COVID spike. The same data *does* show a decline from pre-pandemic rates, though.

I've updated the map to include counties in Northern Ireland, and shortened the timeframe to only look at the past 10 years due to improvements in road safety. There does appear to be a clear pattern of border counties having the worst outcomes, by population. (Made at www.mapchart.net/uk.html)
Map of Ireland, with counties colour-coded by a road safety index (a weighted ranking of Deaths & Injuries, by population). The 10 counties with the highest (worst) ranking are Fermanagh, Longford, Monaghan, Donegal, Cavan, Louth, Kerry, Roscommon, Mayo, Armagh.

Following the tragic deaths over the weekend, I wanted to understand were there areas in Ireland that were more dangerous than others for road deaths and injuries. I've produced the map below, which I hope will draw attention to where road safety efforts may help save lives. #speirgorm

Day off, reading a comic in my own house for the first time ever. I love when comics do a Christmas issue. The stories are usually *bananas*. And this issue from 1980 is loaded with talent, including Frank Miller’s 1st ever Batman.
