Comicbook Nation - season 8 episode 1: 2 January 2025: hosted by Kofi, Matt, Janelle and Evan. As it is the first episode of this season, they all introduce each other, and give us their history with comic book. The release of a second teaser trailer for Marvel’s avengers Doomsday, which is coming in December of 2026. This time it is a trailer about Thor. Footage of cyclops in the fourth coming avengers doomsday, which is comic book accurate. This leads to a discussion about the whole teaser trailer strategy that Marvel are using for this film. I think that Kofi‘s idea is a good one, were they just release every now and again a tease about something, probably instead of a full on long trailer to be honest. Giving people hints at what there is Might be good to keep the mystery of the film, but keeps the hype factor? No, I’ve got to catch up with a lot of of this material I suppose if I want to go and watch this film, because I got bored with how much of it there is, or has been made available on television and in the cinema, and all of that. Trailer for Marvel’s Wonderman. My take - you might find a cameo by Kumail Nanjani playing his Eternals character Lingo, as they were an actor in that film? I’ve still never finished the Eternals film though. Fallout Shelter. Discussion about the final episode of Stranger Things. Discussion about what they’re hyped for coming in 2026. Comic - Scarlett Witch is thr new sorcerer supreme. Comic book - Ultimate Endgame.

A Passage of Time

  Sunday August 10th 2025 -  I got in from the Saturday night shift at twenty past five, and drifted to sleep a little after six in the morning.  A minute or so after ten in the morning, I woke up for the toilet and looked at my phone. I noticed that I had missed phone calls and messages from my aunties Carol and Ann, as well as a fairly recent message from my younger brother James. They were all asking me to contact them.  I had a feeling that I knew what it was, but I didn’t want to believe it. I messaged my younger brother James, who then rang to tell me that Mum had passed away sometime around 7:30 in the morning.  I messaged someone at work about it, who let a Director know. I misunderstood a message telling me to talk to Wayne in the office on the Monday morning, so got ready for work at the usual time, and showed up at the office at 4:40pm for the five o’clock start, to find that Andy had come in to cover for me, and was told that I was also covered for t...

  The ‘casts - (Notes spoken to Siri, and edited later if I remember (Changed tactic now where starred dialogue denotes quoting from the show’s own notes Monsters Sharks and Dinosaurs - 25 May 2025: *Bizarro - Imagine this: You're walking down a Metropolis street when the ground trembles beneath your feet. People point skyward, initially with hope - assuming Superman has arrived to save the day from whatever danger approaches. But their expressions quickly shift to confusion, then horror. / The figure descending from the clouds resembles Superman, but something is terribly wrong. His face is chalky white and cracked like dried mud. His costume is a backward, disheveled version of the iconic suit, the S-shield reversed and distorted. His movements are jerky and unpredictable, like a marionette with tangled strings. / This isn't the Man of Steel - it's his twisted doppelgänger, Bizarro. / "Me am Bizarro! Me here to save day by destroying everything!" he announces in...
