That's why they call them ghost towns

COMIC COVER OF THE WEEK

By Fernando Ruiz & Rich Koslowski. Normally, I wouldn't pay attention to an "Archie" cover unless it depicted, say, Betty and Veronica as drawn by Adam Hughes. However, this homage to the original "Clerks" poster is just plain cool.

SONG OF THE WEEK

"Elements" by Wytch Hazel. If Blue Oyster Cult had dropped this track in 2025, I'd be on it like a car bonnet. The fact it's by an English covertly Christian-metal group shouldn't change that. Mystical lyrics + magical riffs.

Commended: "Pack It Out" by Arrested Development (US), "Wilderness" by Eyes Set To Kill (US) and the mighty Glasto performance of "It Must Change" by Anohni And The Johnsons (US). Go, America.

OK-EST SEQUEL I SAW IN THE PAST WEEK

"Sonic 3" was passable as well.
