Me latest white whale is the Marvel Bumper Comic. A Marvel UK monthly anthology title that ran for 31 issues plus a special. We know what all the covers look like but the contents are an enigma. There could be all sorts of Combat Colin reprints in them. And I'd buy 'em myself but, well,

If your lock screen has the clock with the two digits of the hour above the two digits of the minutes then you and I will never see eye to eye. No clock readout in history has looked like that

Amalgamous has always been "the other one" of the Primes for me. The least to latch onto. A guy defined for his ability to Transform among other Transformers. And I genuinely think he'd endear himself to me more if it were spelled "Amalgamus"

Yeah why don't you write a post and forget the play on words that's key to the punchline ya genius

Finding about that there wasn't really a cartoon called "Blue Moo" and it was actually just a segment called "Blue Cow" on The Story Makers has really affected my mandela

To be fair, I think if they'd straight up just released all those TRON toys at retail and they failed to sell from there, that'd be even more pathetic than what we've got now

Last night I bought a pack of Cybermen for £24.99, which seemed like a lot. Then I looked up the RRP of the first release of the same pack, and it was £29.99, and I didn't feel like I'd made a savings. Then I looked up inflation, and £29.99 back in 2010 is about £60 today. So now I feel a bit better

Also had a dream about a new kind of popup ad that goes straight to your printer

Thinking too much about Infestation. And Infestation 2. And all the rest. There are so many universes, you guys. And yet, so few

Infestation 2 is so funny dude. The Autobots spend 90% of the story going "Only by reviving Optimus Prime can we save planet Earth from the Great Old One from before the universe" and in the last few pages Prime runs in and cuts it to pieces with chainsaw hands mostly offscreen

Firecycle is an Autobot motorbike named after the Laser Heat-Ray on her one arm. Because if she were named after the Zero-K Blaster on her other arm she'd be called Icecycle and that'd be STUPID

Reading up on Infestation (you know, the IDW crossover) and the miniseries it spawned and y'know, zombie media isn't for me, whatever, but now I'm just sitting here with the shock ending twist that Zombies vs Robots' unseen POTUS is Burgess Meredith Off Of Twilight Zone
