If you want stories that feel more akin to the New Series, try the New Eighth Doctor Adventures, starting at Blood of the Daleks. They're a sort of "soft reboot" like Series 5 was on TV, so you can come in cold without needing to know who Charley and C'rizz are. They're in the 50-min format rather than serials, and on…

Okay, but only if they return as those two lumbering robots from "Dinosaurs on a Spaceship". (And hey, David Bradley connection.)

She's his granddaughter.

The Burned Master to Jacobi-Master timeline is pretty well mapped out by Big Finish now.

No, it's an ongoing, as far as I know. #7 and #8 are solicited, anyway.

As Brian himself put it before he clobbered that Skrull, "You'll find we know all that… we don't like to make a fuss".

I agree about Way's Doom Patrol, but I do think the material (and the talent) is there for something more. I'm hoping Way gets his "Morrison fan" thing worked out and the book keeps improving.

… Nope.

There's always going to be good stuff. But I think more and more you'll see writers save their best new ideas for creator-owned work, and use the Big Two for paycheque work or to work on their favourite characters.

Oh don't get me wrong, I don't actually want those days back. DC and Marvel practically have a stranglehold on English-language comics, and I think them losing some market share is a good thing.

Simon's our resident Saga skeptic - he's never liked it. But we still love him. It's a struggle sometimes, but we do anyway.

I know, I brought them up here a few weeks ago! Aside from Seán, Tom and Theresa Cassidy, they're dire.

Yeah he does. Check out blackmoon's comment!

I suppose it's ironic for an Irish person, but Captain Britain's great. Even the more simplistic pre-Moore Claremont stuff is pretty entertaining in its way, and once the two Alans come on board it's just Really Good Comics.

I think DC has conclusively shown us just how useful that approach is.

I'm not sure watching Independence Day is very anti-Trump. An American movie where everyone sits around not knowing what to do until Americans tell them, then the US President personally blows up the foreigners aliens and unilaterally declares that from now on, the whole world must celebrate the 4th of July as…

I'd been meaning to read Kamandi, but between one thing and another hadn't got into the shop. Picked up #1 for a euro the other day, so I think I'll start piecing it together before it's too far in.

What about V's "Vicious Cabaret"? Comes with sheet music and everything!

Anything Kieron Gillen writes, obviously. The soundtracks for Phonogram: The Singles Club and the Young Avengers after-party are my favourites, because both of them are actually the diegetic soundtracks for the evening (and in both cases it's fun using the songs to connect the dots among the different story threads.)

Oh, interesting. It would be interesting to see what he thought of Irish. I know he knew Welsh, I'm sure he knew the basics of the other "local languages" too. I should ask a Tolkien scholar some time.
