Well, it happened. I knew I’d start to take the twice-monthly comics for granted, and this month we had to wait three weeks instead of two for an issue of Transformers. WHAT IS THIS THE STONE AGES? Kidding. Two comics a month must be a hell of a schedule to keep, I can wait three

Black Mirror season five dropped last week, and we always have a great time talking about the show, even when we weren’t completely wowed by an episode. See below for a conversation about Black Mirror: Striking Vipers. (Warning, spoilers below.)
Right on schedule, another issue of Transformers after only two weeks waiting, woo! Warning, BIG spoilers below.
