  • Thanks, @Creasy47. I'll definitely check it out some time. It's been in my watchlist for way too long. In fact I have it on DVD too. As far as controversial opinions go, here's one of mine. I genuinely like Lulu's The Man With The Golden Gun. I f…

  • Excellent review, @DarthDimi. Brilliantly written.

  • Started Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? last night. I'm only about 30 pages in, but it's very interesting already.
  • I was at a book fair recently and found a few gems for my collection. First of all, a couple of novelisations. I've never read any of the novelisations, so finding a couple of nice first editions for 2£ each was lovely. Next up, a couple of …
  • Thanks for the very kind offer, @Agent_99. Don't let me trouble you. I'll go down and have a look at my local Poundland stores later today and have a look.

  • I just had a browse through this thread and your YouTube channel, @MadeleineSwann. Fantastic work! Your old-school Bond posters are brilliant and very classy. That's the look I - and a lot of people around here - would like the official Bond post…
  • Yeah, apparently Hammerhead is even better than Eidolon. As always, I'm waiting for all 6 issues to come out before I start reading it, but I have to admit I'm tempted to start now... As for Felix Leiter, I'm with @JET007. On the fence about this…
  • Finally read Eidolon. Loved it! Mostly for its very interesting plot. Much better than VARGR I think. And I did enjoy VARGR a lot.

  • Finally got around to reading Trigger Mortis. Finished it yesterday. I really enjoyed it. It's only my second continuation novel, the first one being Carte Blanche which I didn't like too much. But Trigger Mortis was really good. Very Fleming-esq…
  • Thanks, guys. False alarm. I dropped by my local store again and found Issue 12. Looks like I'm reading Eidolon tomorrow. :)
  • Could you guys help me out a bit? I've been a bit out of touch with the releases. Did the final issue of Eidolon come out as scheduled? I couldn't find it at my local comic book store.
  • Well, that 'article' on the Mirror is obviously a load of rubbish. No point in debating on it IMHO. The fact that we don't know doesn't mean that they don't know. Babs and Daniel obviously have a good relationship inside and outside of work. They…
