Loads of responses received to this, which is terrific, but so many just not following the submission instructions, and so immediately removing themselves from consideration. Top tip: always follow any submission guidelines EXACTLY.

Lee Anderson proclaiming today that today's Claction result is historic. He's absolutely right, as never before has a bin come second in any UK by-election.

Comic Scene have become a great champion for British comics, so I'm excited that their publishing side will now be my new imprint with Time Bomb! I'll be developing this range with Tony Foster which will publish not only my work, but comics and magazines created by a whole host of others 🙂

Pleased that the Quantum #1-#4 KS has almost hit £1K, especially as many of my regular UK backers will likely already have the comics. That said, some have jumped on to support, which really is a splendid thing for them to do 🙂Quantum Newbies also very welcome, of course!

The problem with 2 books arriving fresh from the printer at the same time is choosing which one to crack open and smell first...

I did enjoy this, but I enjoyed the scenes outside the gorge much more. Below the mist it felt like watching a 2-player shoot-em-up. They're always much more entertaining for the players than the observers. #thegorge #movies #AppleTV

I thought this was very well done, in particular the colourisation, a real step up from last year's The Daleks rework.

The latest issue of Quantum arrives in UK newsagents this week, with a glorious cover from line artist Gary Crutchley and colour artist Luca Mattoni. Luca also colours my Major Rakhana story inside, and has done a splendid job!

I lost a friend at the weekend, who I met through a shared passion of reading comics and creating them. A genuinely lovely man taken much too soon 😔

Steve Tanner @stevetanneruk.bsky.social · 02/12/2024

Really, rather than pause they should see this as more an opportunity to bin the existing, dated, predictable format. Then relaunch as something more akin to Masterchef Australia, which is genuinely inventive and entertaining while still keeping the competitive cooking front and centre.

It's taken 20 years, but I've finally gotten around to watching the Enterprise series. Found it pretty enjoyable for the most part. It's no DS9, but it's also no Voyager.
