COMIC COVER OF THE WEEK

By Tula Lotay (Lisa Wood). Google tells me that, along with having a knack for pretty faces, she founded the biggest comics convention in the UK!

SONG OF THE WEEK

"Spy In The House Of Love" by Exploring Birdsong (UK). Are they progressive? Maybe. Doesn't matter a jot - easily one of my tracks of the year.

ANNOYING RPG MANUAL OF THE WEEK

Rad concept: A rules-light scifi game of overthrowing an evil galactic empire where the character sheets are modelled after carded "Star Wars" action figures. Shame they go on and bloody on about the parallels to current-day politics. I'm a liberal lefty and I still found it obnoxious. Anyhoo, too simple to run as a campaign but I'd probably play it once at a con.

Righto, time to breakfast and await the Rousey vs Carano MMA card...
