Fitness Week 16: Carmen Miranda Realness II: Carmen Mirandier
A couple of days ago, io9 published this piece about comics that deserve more love and attention. It’s a great piece and James always delivers. He’s right too, every book on that list is great. But, I was talking to a friend of mine about it and he made a very good point. Adam P …
Comics RoundUp: Suiciders:Kings of Hell.A, The Fix and Dept.H
No play fills me with more joy than Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead. Very few films do either.

There’s a level of transparency to superhero stories that fascinates me, simply because it doesn’t seem to be talked about much. Season 2 of Daredevil reminded me of that, in particular one moment where Matt, about to excuse something very very bad indeed, crosses himself. I gasped. Not because it was especially shocking (Although what …
I love Mexican food. It’s massively protein heavy, loves cheese, is frequently based around bread and is really simple to make. What’s not to like? That’s why we ended up eating at a Mexican place in Cardiff when we were up there a couple of weeks ago. Wahaca is one of the few Mexican chains in …
