"I've read the first issue of Let This One Be a Devil, which coincides with my writing my New Jersey Devil piece for the forthcoming book. I've been immersed in Leeds Devil lore for a while now. This issue features a good set-up and artwork, but I…"
"I'm about two-thirds through Horace McCoy's original novel of They Shoot Horses, Don't They? We recently saw the movie.
The book is worthwhile, and quite gritty. The only concession to the sensibilities of the time is writing "f----" and "f----ing"…"

"Walking Dead does a pretty good job, if we assume that, along with "Walkers" and "Roamers" and "Lurkers" and so forth, there are also "Mowers" at large. Kingdom does, as you say, a phenomenal job. Recalling the original POTA films, I go into each of…"

"The Dig (2021), another British film, and far more subdued. It's a drama based on the events surrounding the Sutton Hoo excavation. Nominated/won many UK awards. Beautifully acted and assembled: this is the sort of thing that, 30-40 years ago, I…"
"I've never read this comic, but I've seen the cover before. It raises so many quesitons. Like, in 19-- in small town America, was it that easy to find a Super-suit? Could you buy them cheap at the general store (regardless of whether the Kents owned…"
