I thought all of the Moff's casting for the lead was inspired. Not so sure about RTD's hand back on the steering wheel, but I'll reserve judgement on the 15th Doctor until I see him in action.
As for David Tennant, I know RTD was sort of hamstrung by Ncuti Gatwa's availability, but considering it's the old showrunner, Doctor and companion, it does feel like a roll back to an era that should be history, rather than a move forward.
On the other hand, a roll back is also new territory for a show that could have done it any time in the last half century but didn't.

Never mind Watchmen, that party was the real postmodern superhero masterpiece.

The internets!

Hey, thanks for the tipoff! That looks like the sort of thing I'd have loved as a kid. It's on my list now.

About halfway through The Weirdstone of Brisingamen now. It's my first read of it! Somehow managed to miss it all through childhood and "adulthood." There are worse places to experience it than semi-rural Norfolk in springtime.

Great stuff!

"He was a freelancer for his whole life, and never became a staff member. Towards the end, he mainly worked on fold-ins, each of which took him roughly two weeks of work."
According to Wikipedia, "In the half-century between April 1964 and April 2013, only one issue of Mad was published without containing new material by Jaffee."

Gosh. I'm surprised to learn she was 77.

Wor lass is a fan of Paul; I bought her one of his books for Christmas. For me he'll always be Roxy from The Bill.

Garth's numbers were more like 5318008.

I didn't know he'd done another huge series of pulp-y potboilers besides the Survivalist stuff, Jason. I've never even heard of Track, but you did used to see the Survivalist stuff, even in proper bookshops.
They used to appear in discount department stores here — think BHS or Walmart. And used book stores of course.
I kinda wish I'd kept some.

I've just realised you're talking about the Jerry Ahern who wrote Track. Those novels were a guilty pleasure when I was a teenager.
That shotgun! That moustache!

Huh. Same here.
They missed the opportunity to call Denise's road trip a Mina Tour.

Uh, I guess this belongs in the DC thread...

I stopped watching after the first two episodes, but it's good to hear from you.

Looks like David Harbour, but great action figure.

^ That's a no-brainer for me. I'd love to see it on a newsagent's shelf, but it isn't likely unless I go to the UK this year.

What were the best comics published in 2022?
If it appeared in 2022 or it was cover-dated 2022, that's close enough. And "best" can mean "best of the small cross section I read" or "my favourite".
Here's my list of approximately 5:
The Human Target
Damn Them All
VizWhat's yours?

2020 and 21 were fairly ordinary for me (Australian understatement there), 2022 not so bad — started the year in the north of England on a fantastic holiday, my job was considerably less taxing this year, my lass moved in in July, and I revisited England in September-October.
Cheers to the surviving forum members. Here's to ya in 2023.

Swamp Thing: Green Hell
in Hellblazer
Posted
Just finished reading Green Hell. It's well written and drawn, but like a lot of these things, it felt a bit unmemorable. Would make an exciting movie à la 28 Days Later.
