Over 40 pages of stunning action, horror & humour. Your comic isn’t as good as @imagecomics.com RED ROOTS by Lorenzo De Felici! Plus a stunning cover by LOVESICK genius @luanavecchio.bsky.social Bought at Reading’s @crunchcomics.bsky.social

SWAMP THING meets JESUS finally gets published by DC COMICS and they’ve done a great job with adverts from 1989 & bonus material. Bought from Reading’s @crunchcomics.bsky.social

Are all pet rabbits this crap at hide-and-seek?

New horror film HOKUM has a lovely trailer, great poster and that bloke from SEVERANCE. But it’s a bit crap. Half-hearted folk horror then feels like being locked in an escape room. Wait for streaming!

Is LIMINAL HORROR now a sub-genre? EXIT 8 is a tremendous Japanese thriller. If you’ve ever been confused on the London Underground and wondered if you’ve stumbled into Hell, this is for you. The best use of a location since CUBE! Go see it!

I’d assumed THE DRAMA was a rom-com about pre-wedding nerves with ROBERT PATTINSON and ZENDAYA. It’s something much, much darker & wonderfully twisted. Don’t miss it!

I’ve finally wrapped up writing the new miniseries✌️🫠 It was meant to be a one-shot, but it turned into 5 issues. I won’t share much until it gets officially announced, but like I’ve mentioned before, the main theme is cannibalism. is deeply sad and angry, it left a pit in my stomach.

ABSOLUTE BATMAN #19 is on fire! @nickdragotta.bsky.social loves those tiny packed pages! @ssnyder1835.bsky.social adds to the rogues gallery in such a horrid way!!!! Bought at Reading’s @crunchcomics.bsky.social

Just arrived from variant cover genius @flopscomics.bsky.social it’s STAKES and SHALLOW TALES FROM THE CITY! Pulp anthology action! Top Trumps style cards! Flops is too generous! @theahmedraafat.bsky.social soon at Portsmouth Comic Con!

GLENROTHAN was this week’s Showcase Cinema Secret Screening. It feels like an extended VISIT SCOTLAND advert about feuding brothers and their whiskey distillery. Heart warming but Alan Cumming deserves more subversive roles than this! Get him a new agent!

It’s ok to have rabbits in a ‘cat tree’, right? I don’t want the pet police after me!

I love alternate timelines & what-if? scenarios! BLACK CAT #9 is quick fast paced fun - a perfect MARVEL comic! Love the @gwillow.me script GLEB MELNIKOV & ANDRES GENOLET art. Fab ADAM HUGHES cover bought at Reading’s @crunchcomics.bsky.social

Just out of a showcase cinema SECRET SCREENING of chiller UNDERTONE. The recording of a horror podcast spills into the life of a young woman with a dying mother upstairs. Proper spooky with audio thrills you could only get in an actual cinema!

Pick up DAREDEVIL #1 if it hasn’t sold out. @stephsmash.bsky.social makes everything feel fresh again! @leegarbett.bsky.social delivers some stunning panels with Frank Martin’s sublime colours! Love it. Bought at Reading’s @crunchcomics.bsky.social

Bought this old VHS of CLASS OF NUKE ‘EM HIGH off eBay. I’ve never watched the film & I have no way to play it. But the movie I’m imagining in my mind might be the best film ever!

Here’s a VHS style custom hardcover combining my 2 favourite recent @imagecomics.com series: YOU’LL DO BAD THINGS & WE’RE TAKING EVERYONE DOWN WITH US. Bound from single issues by Spink & Thackray UK. Self-designed on Photoshop. @tylerboss.bsky.social @adrianoturtulici.bsky.social @ashcanpress.com

It’s a BAT summer! Here’s a custom hardcover of Peter Milligan’s Bat comics inspired by CHARLI XCX. Includes Batman #452-454, 472-473, Detective #629-633, 638-640 & 643 & Catwoman Defiant one-shot. The cover looked bare so I scanned in a Peter Milligan signature so it looks like signed merch!

A Blade Runner sequel where the main character just goes around showing people photos and asking them to pick out the ones with traffic lights.

The AARON TAYLOR-JOHNSON movie FUZE begins feeling like it might be a hyper realistic London bomb disposal movie. It then loses its focus as the various criminal factions take advantage of the chaos. I wish it had more LOCK STOCK style fun & some big tunes! Watch on streaming!

High tension masterclass from @jamesthefourth.bsky.social & @fernandoblanco.bsky.social in w0RLDTR33 #19 hot off the presses from Reading’s @crunchcomics.bsky.social

Whiskers in the sun!

I’ve tried to watch today’s new episode of DAREDEVIL but after the freshness of WONDER MAN doesn’t this just feel like a reheated takeaway from the weekend? Too many characters & too plodding. I don’t feel like this is even in the Marvel New York!

THEY WILL KILL YOU is a fine kinetic horror movie, a spiritual successor to KILL BILL and EVIL DEAD II. Zazie Beetz is a perfect action hero and the fights are wonderfully bloody.

Bought a last minute ticket to LILY ALLEN WEST END GIRL at the London Palladium. After a playful karaoke of her early hits was a stunning second half of all 14 tracks. No dancers but imaginative staging. PUSSY PALACE got the best reception after MADELINE. Rage-fuelled pop perfection!

Pick up a copy of erotic thriller PICK-UP! @alisonsampson.bsky.social cover caught my eye! 48 pages of Neo-Noir, influencers & sexy Hitchcockian intrigue! @felipecunha.bsky.social shines in the nightclub & bedroom scenes! One-shot published by AWA. Bought at Reading’s @crunchcomics.bsky.social

Batwoman #1 with a @stjepansejic.bsky.social cover @gregrucka.com script & fabulous DaNi art @matthollingsworth.com colours 22 pages of perfection bought from Reading’s @crunchcomics.bsky.social

Just out of a Showcase Secret Screening of THE GOOD BOY. Why would an isolated family abduct a volatile teenager and keep him chained up in the basement? High-concept surreal drama with star quality from ANSON BOON & STEPHEN GRAHAM.

Read the 5 issue hardcover of ELVIRA IN HORRORLAND - it’s brilliant. Writer @davallone.bsky.social is probably in copyright prison for ‘borrowing’ Freddy Krueger, The Shining, the cast of ALIEN & more! Meet talented artist SILVIA CALIFANO in Bristol this May @lawlesscomiccon.bsky.social

Catching up with my latest reads from Reading’s @crunchcomics.bsky.social Love the @luanavecchio.bsky.social variant TIGRESS ISLAND #1

My therapist said I'd never get over my Phil Collins obsession but take a look at me now.

Rabbit in a fireplace (2026)

Unfortunately I saw SCREAM 7 tonight. Was this written & directed by A.I.? I’m sorry for giving this franchise my cash…

Remember to eat your greens today.

The horror film DOLLY is dull but gory. I never thought I’d see the chased woman trips in the forest cliche again… and again. Avoid.

Can a horror film be too nice? COLD STORAGE doesn’t have the anarchic fun of films like RETURN OF THE LIVING DEAD. Some great gory splattering and imaginative camera fun but where’s the tension and… horror?

@showcasecinemasuk.bsky.social Love the SECRET SCREENINGS at Reading Showcase cinema but… When did the booking fee become £2.50 for a single ticket? Is this legal? Be honest and add it to the ticket price.

I see no reason why my home town of Reading won’t get the City of Culture 2029 award. We know culture when we see it?

ABSOLUTE BATMAN #17. It’s great to see Bruce take some time off to do some gardening… Evil Dead style! @ssnyder1835.bsky.social @ericcanete.bsky.social Bought at Reading’s @crunchcomics.bsky.social

GOOD LUCK, HAVE FUN, DON’T DIE is a crazy mash up of 12 Monkeys, Black Mirror & the Crystal Maze! At times it feels like watching a crazy bloke shout at confused people whilst waving a countdown at them. There’s enough fun & a lot of heart! Watch it!

“Wayne’s kinda a fuckboy, ain’t he?” 32 pages of @babsdraws.bsky.social stunning art in SIRENS LOVE HURTS. Tini Howard has fun with SELINA, HARLEY, PAMELA & DINAH. Perfect @sozomaika.bsky.social cover bought at Reading’s @crunchcomics.bsky.social

“It’s a blast for you and a BLASPHEMY!” MARIAN HERETIC #4 is devilishly sinful! @boom-studios.com keep these perfect slices of nunsploitation coming! Script: Tini Howard Art: Joe Jaro Colours: Walter Baiamonte Letters: Jim Campbell Bought at Reading’s @crunchcomics.bsky.social

Reading Delano's fantastic Fear Machine arc of Hellblazer. One line in this issue tells us how much of a total bastard Constantine is in the most beautifully subtle way. He spends a day drinking with an acquaintance, whose wife has killed herself, known to the reader, but not the pair of them yet.

Is there a better fit than SABRINA CARPENTER and THE MUPPETS?

Are you reading THE DEPARTMENT OF TRUTH? Who can protect America from wild fictions? And how cool is this image for next month? @martinsimmonds.bsky.social @jamesthefourth.bsky.social @adityab.net @ssnyder1835.bsky.social @joshixson.bsky.social

I’m shocked this future cult classic is being ignored by audiences. Is it too original for conservative horror fans and too bold for regular folk? Go see it!

I’m going to be doing a kickstarter for Terran omega issue 1. (32 pages, full colour sci-fi comic!) If you’d like to know when it launches (soon!) sign up for my mailing list pjholden.kit.com (check your spam folder after you sign up -you should get a verification email). Would appreciate a RT!
