Doctor Who special on Children in Need Not a surprise as they've done one for all the previous events for the last 7 years, but still looking forward to it. I also just finished the Big Finish Audio "Voyage to Venus" and it's an incredible amount of fun and dirt cheap as well. Almost makes up for Colin Baker going on "I'm a Celebrity Get me Out of Here".

Yeah. Incredibly impressed by the massive amount of co-ordination that must have been involved.

They're not real, any of them. They took high quality digital scans of the sets before the end of BSG.

Now I know why the cylons rebelled: they hate lens flare. (I did quite like this and the virtual sets are pretty good)

Prof, I would seriously suggest that you The Life of Reilly if you haven't already. It really hits on a lot of the points you're making and there's a lot that you've guessed correctly regarding editorial decisions.

First episode of Judge Dredd: The Cold Deck Really good procedural so far and it pulled off an amazing narrative trick last week. 2000AD's currently got its best line up in years.

That is exactly what happened according to Glenn Greenberg. The marketing department saw the success of the AoA titles and wanted the Spidey books to replicate it, ignoring the fact that the AoA had a strong narrative drive and a year of preparation behind it. The Spidey guys managed to negotiate them down to 2 issues a title rather than 4 except for Web of Scarlet Spider, which would get the full four. That's right, two more issues of the Scarlet Spider after Ben had given up the name. The Spider-man writers were pretty sick of the delays getting Ben into the costume and just powered through these issues as best as they could before getting to Sensational Spider-man #0 where Ben would finally, finally become Spider-man.

The comics have art by Simon Fraser? i'm in!

The Dark judges and the Sisters of Death

Got the final ever trade of Nikolai Dante today. Truly epic. It has one of my favourite lines ever, though I can't tell you who said it or the context: "look at me boy, I'm what happens to heroes!" Fantastic ending to a fantastic saga.

I'll forgo my last pick.

Yeah, I think people who had a problem with how the show ended would have been much happier if this was in there.

I'm refusing to read it but I'm going to assume that Mike's guess is exactly right.

Coda to The Angels Take Manhattan I don't understand why they didn't shoot this scene but there you go.

Conan!

Captain Marvel (Mar-Vell)

Death

Cassandra Anderson

Smoking is illegal in Mega City 1 outside of the smokatorium citizen!

Luther Arkwright For clarities sake, this counts as my Dark horse pick.

Frenchie from The Boys

Why are you reading this? Why aren't you swinging from a chandelier after another derring-do adventure?

I'm in.
