3 persons have something to say about this!:
Whoa. Busy week. Loved Paul Cornell's Doctor Who story.
And there I was thinking things would ease off in the run-up to Christmas!
I followed 2000AD loyally in the early 00's (I still think both Mercy Heights and Sancho Panzer were underrated gems), but I dropped it a few years ago. I still get the end of year bumper issues though, as I like to keep an eye on how the magazine is doing.
I'm excited about the Life on Mars/Ashes to Ashes news, as the most recent series ended in a very clever way, and I'm eager to see what they have up their sleeves.
I'm also interested in seeing what the Beeb has in store for Triffids; the previous adaptation is one of my fond childhood memories!
