Physical copies of Slow Shutter have arrived! A woozy descent into tabloid filth and personal turmoil. From me, @EllBalsonArt and @HassanOE . Thanks as always to @ComicPrintingUK for the stunning print job. Available from gumroad.com/l/Slow_Shutter

@johnlees927 You can get a lot done in three quarters of an hour and fifteen minutes.

Back in town after a back-to-back yoga class/hospital visit, and now half an hour and a half to kill before meeting up with friends. Debating whether it’s worth getting a bus home to dump my bags/change my clothes and head right back out, or if I should just hang about the shops.

Tommy Dreamer on how he considered making his debut at Wrestlemania X7 - by shooting dead Paul Heyman and then himself. "Pop. Boom."

@wrestlemepod "I would have ruined Wrestlemania". Yes Tommy, the real horror.

@TylerJamesComic There was a strong implication that people should be welcoming and embracing, and I think there's certainly levels of door opening that are less easy to swallow than others. Is this anything but an attempt at being contrary?

@harrytfrench I’m not saying you have to embrace it. But there certainly is no benefit to being angry about about someone getting a door opened for them.

The comic industry is for the most part extremely welcoming and encouraging to new talent... unless your dad is a famous movie director apparently.

In one week! Come and see me and @iainlaurie at @glasgowcomiccon, Table 48, Lomond Foyer!

Imagine explaining to people that the guy who became a nationwide hate figure for trying to undermine the NHS, to the point where he couldn't show his face in public without being called "Hunt the Cunt," is now running for Prime Minister... and he's the LESS repulsive candidate.

@AdlaiM "OF the moment. I said OF the moment. There is a huge difference between me saying "Nicola, I'd like to go for a lovely walk with you" and "Nicola, I'm going to make a hat out of your fucking entrails."

Stunning final episode, stunning series. That's going to live with me a fair while.

Bethanys journey through Y&Y will hold up really well on rewatch I think. Her ease and warmth increasing as she becomes more modded and connected has been told almost entirely through the acting, rather than called out explicitly, but it's there and white wonderful.

I also hope Stephen is given no redemption and maybe sets himself on fire?

The concentration camps pitch scene is maybe a good microcosm of why it works for me? Past and present reintroduced so we see its genesis 5 minutes in the future, stripped of the contextual luxury of slow creep and given solid immediacy. Stark, implausible logic.

I hope there are many many thinkpieces about how "Years & Years" achieves what it does. It compresses so much of the past and present into one instantly recognisable horror, but I really want to start why and how this show in particular manages to be so effective.

@AdlaiM @glasgowcomiccon Please make sure to talk to @CraigComicsEtc about nu-metal on my behalf.

Pro-tip:

Johnson's answer to the question about his bigoted language and views was essentially, "Folk love it.".

With Boris launching his bid, we can now confirm that the near future of Years and Years was in " approximately 2 weeks time".

@AdlaiM Ooo yes please. I'll pick it up as my holiday book and we can talk all the waffle.

@AdlaiM Have been meaning to get on this. Is it very much on brand for me ?
