EDITORIAL
“Hi everyone my name is Barry and I loved Man of Steel” *waits for polite applause before quietly walking back to chair* As the summer drifts to a close and the many arguments we had over Tony Stark kicking ass or whether we loved or loathed Man of Steel we are drawn back to more indoor pursuits. Comics continue to knock it out of the park, although I’m still trying to figure out what the hell was going on in the last three pages of Age of Ultron. To that end we have blooming cracking interview with Frank Barbiere the brains behind the awesome pulp comic Five Ghosts (p76). I also have to give a big thank you to Dan Boultwood who not only talked to GS about his new Comic IT Came but also created our brilliant anniversary cover. It was this cover that prompted me into giving out some love to 007 himself (p52). For those of us not content to stay indoors, there are some great conventions on the horizon like the Eurogamer Expo, where we can get our grubby mitts on the PS4 and decide if we really want to keep our preorder for it going. Of Course let’s not forget the madness that was San Diego Comic Con. This year, backing up the GS team, we had Corey ‘Magic of Myths’ Brotherson who gave us a creator’s eye view of the event (p24). Still to come in the event calendar we have Scardiff - Cardiff’s first horror convention which due to my nervous condition I have no intention of going near (good luck to those of you brave enough to attend). In November, we have the last big entry in the indie comic calendar - Thought Bubble. Last year, the little convention that could became the massive convention which does. The speed by which the exhibitor tables sold out must have broken some kind of UK con record. To help with the demand for floor space a third hall has now been announced which means that this year’s Thought Bubble promises to be the biggest and best yet. Oh and there’s some show coming to Channel 4 called Estate Agents of SHELVE or something with that agent bloke from the film about those superheroes. Never heard of this Whedon fella but it’s probably worth a shot I reckon. Over on BBC One we wait to see if Atlantis can fill the shoes left by Merlin. Autumn may be just around the corner but the geek calendar is looking fuller than the Hulk’s undies.
