Now for the relaxing part of the day, bagging and boarding.

Had to listen to it didn’t I?

Nico and Tangerine Dream, Reims Cathedral, 1974.

First day in my life that I own nothing that needs to have its date manually changed, due to the clocks going forward. I win!

For whoever needs to hear this I'm the only Jewish person to lead a political party - third largest in the country. The Daily Mail have been & always will be my enemy - they historically supported fascists & continue to do so. I'll take no lectures from them on Antisemitism.

Am in so much pain, I’m not moving from the sofa at all today. Have surrounded myself with comics, kindle, AirPods, Haribo and enough painkillers to down a T-Rex. My day is set.

Conversation topics at my LCS today 28/03/2026:- Damaged comics from Diamond UK, For All Mankind, bad comics from Marvel, Daredevil, Sam Keith, shoddy eBay sellers, trans allies, dream holidays, pensions (again!) and evil orange man.

There were some technical difficulties, plus the structure made it fun to put together, but I’d go through it all again to talk with @rafaelalbuquerque.bsky.social and @pornsak.bsky.social. Such a great time. Hope you enjoy.

If you haven't plugged your Xbox in for 4 years or so, prepare to wait a bit while the updates come down.

A short, rambly summary of @11oc.bsky.social 1027, available shortly. Massive thank yous to @pornsak.bsky.social and @rafaelalbuquerque.bsky.social (and to @tonyfleecs.bsky.social for making it happen) for hanging with us. #DCComics #AbsoluteGreenArrow #ComicBooks #ComicTok #ComicBookPodcast

Every time he gets a new award I have this in my head

Tickets getting raised late on a Friday afternoon = users and techs remembering things they should have done in the week and clearing their desk for the weekend. I'm keeping receipts, don't worry. 😡

just this week: -- OpenAI killed Sora -- Disney subsequently cancelled its investment in OpenAI -- Wikipedia is now banning LLM-generated content ...tell me again how this is all "inevitable" and you have to "get on board or get left behind"?

the thing is, people could easily just watch the fucking shitty wizard show and keep their mouth shut abt it. but they want to not only do whatever they want, they want to tell people about it and argue about how they're still a good person. they want everyone else to assuage their guilt for them

Have just found the Xbox I thought I lost. It was in a box, under a pile of 2000AD Progs that I had also forgotten about. Gonna keep digging through this box in case I find the hopes and dreams that eluded me all those years ago.

is wishing the happiest of birthdays to artist Brian Bolland.

despicable. fuck this.

Yes, Comic Shop News, it is time for a Captain Carrot relaunch. Absolute Captain Carrot? Grant Morrison could pull that off, I reckon?

So hold on ... HBO is essentially making 8 hour versions of every Harry Potter book? Jesus fucking Christ. At the end they were already creeping past two hours. Fuck's sake the last book was split into two movies, *over* four hours. This shit ain't Lord of the Rings.

Found out about this manga that Shotaro Ishinomori did on Black Jazz musicians, His depictions of Miles Davis, Thelonious Monk and Duke Ellington are killer

Decided to join in on the fun of folks sharing their NCBD hauls, but without a LCS these days, it's just my monthly box. :)

shaneparish.bandcamp.com/album/autech... Insanely talented, and extremely brave to even attempt to cover Autechre on an acoustic guitar.

American journalists in 2036

Episode 182: With the release of #Invincible Season 4 and the return of Battle Beast, we dive into the epic Viltrumite War, covering Invincible issues 71–78 by #RobertKirkman and #RyanOttley from #Skybound and #ImageComics. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/c...

A 19 minute argument may be my favourite thing that Bad News ever produced.

Sounds ghastly.

DSTLRY IS BACK. The revolution didn’t stop—it reloaded. Don’t miss it! ⚠️ All retailer orders were cancelled. If DSTLRY was on your pull list—it may be gone. Fix it: call your shop + re-confirm. New issues + HCs incoming.

"What's your favourite book of the Bible, Robert?" "Tough one. I think I'd have to say The Best of the Bible"

Always loved Michael Golden’s work on The ‘Nam and now seeing the predecessor, “5th to the 1st” in the latest Fantagraphics Savage Tales collection, makes me love his art even more.

Manga time. Love me some Witch Hat Atelier.

We’re deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Sam Kieth. From The Maxx to his work across comics, Sam brought a completely unique look and voice to the industry. His art was raw and unmistakably his. Sam's influence will be felt for generations. Our thoughts are with his family and friends.

Read all my single issues, now to start on the big books.

Read the 3 DC Next Level #1s today. I’ll keep picking up Batwoman and Deathstroke, but that’s as much Lobo as I can take. Not my thing in the slightest.

Kurosawa on watching Solaris with Tarkovsky

Conversation topics at my LCS today 21/03/2026:- Foil covers, Fantagraphics, DC Next Level, beards, Fringe, Doom Patrol, spinner racks vs shelves, plastic short boxes, overrated artists, podcasts.

11 O’Clock Comics Episode 1026 We're Next Leveling up!

Looks like one of everything from the latest @dstlry.bsky.social catalog. So glad they’ve come out of hibernation.

Mentioning a couple things we mentioned on the upcoming Episode 1026 of @11oc.bsky.social. #ComicTok #ComicBooks #EOC #DCComics #ComicBookPodcast

New comic book catalog day! My evening is going to be fire.

Everything old is new again.

Have just been informed that Fringe is streaming on ITVX. That’s made me so happy.

Fucking Tumblr, always fucking around and getting things wrong.

Terry & Dune

Perfect

Len Deighton has, sadly, died but this is another excuse to listen to the title sequence of Richard Rodney Bennett’s mad Billion Dollar Brain score for 4 horns, 3 trumpets, 3 trombones, tuba, tons of percussion incl. xylophone and marimba, Ondes Martenot and 3 grand pianos. youtu.be/efvhQ8kWIEY
