I’ve been struggling for a while.
Last May at Lawless, a comic convention in Bristol that I Moderate at, I had a huge bout of Imposter Syndrome. I wrote about it last year.
Well it got worse and until October that was the last thing I wrote for others to read.

Monty Nero is a well respected British Comic Wtiter who has been published by 2000AD and Marvel. His creator owned work includes Death Sentence which is heavily covered elsewhere on this blog.
These books are his first foray in to publishing factual writing.
Currently all three books are available live on Kickstarter.
Games are things that can bring people together.
As a child my family would often play Boardgames such as Buccaneer and Monopoly. We had a horse racing game called Escalado. My Brother and I regularly played games of Cards and Scrabble with our Father in to our adult years.
With my children it was PS1 and PS2 games as well as board games such as Risk!
And with my Granddaughters (15 & 9) I have played the RPG Pathfinder (I’ve played RPGs since 1984). We also play board games. And with the oldest I play Fortnite.
Playing Fortnite means I can chat with my Granddaughter too. She lives in Merseyside, I’m in Yorkshire. It is great to be able to pass quality time with her. She talks about her concerns about School and it was especially useful during Lockdown. I am just there to listen and give advice if she asks. Its lovely.
I have used a few bits of music to inspire Poems before.
Something my Son’s Fiance put on Facebook about receiving a Pumpkin from him for Valentine’s made me write this parody of a song from one of their favourite films.
I have written many parodies in the past but haven’t shared them very much. I may do more. Continue reading
I don’t put a title for these Poems in the title of the Post as often when I start I don’t have a Title. I start with a Topic.
I write these Poems in one sitting. Usually with only minor tweaks before publishing.
I’ve decided that I will put the Topic in the title of the post. In some cases, this one is good example, a succinct Topic isn’t easy so will by nature sometimes be vague.
This is about objects, belongings, that we keep when really they are at the end of their use. Continue reading
My rather yeah aim is to publusg 365 Poems on this Blog during 2021. Not 1 per day but a total of 365, so some days I will need to post more than one. You can find yesterday’s poem here.
I plan for some to explain my choices for how I wrote the poem, in other cases they will be presented without much comment.
Will I hit my target?

Here is my review of the finale of Season 1. I’ve reviewed every Chapter of Season 1 as part of my countdown to Seasson 2 starting on Friday 30th of October 2020 on Disney+
All the reviews have been fairly Spoiler Light but by the very nature of a series with an ongoing narrative there can be Spoilers for earlier Chapters. Continue reading

Release will happen weekly on Fridays starting on 30th October 2020 in all territories.
Though this review is relatively Spoiler Light it may contain Spoilers for earlier Chapters. Continue reading
Hardly a surprise that as a fan of 2000AD and Judge Dredd from the start the news of this Live Event is extremely interesting to me
This blog started life for a Judge Dredd online RPG which stumbled and fell. I’d previously been one of the Games Masters and Players on Play Dredd RPG Forum which had folded and hoped to continue.
Then the 2012 Dredd film by Alex Garland came along and I went to the Fan Pre-release Screening in London. Had a brilliant day and saw a film which brought the feel of the comic to the screen, something I felt the 1995 Stallone movie had failed to do.
So this blog became a Review & Preview blog for Films, Comics and Books with an unapologetic bias towards Judge Dredd, 2000AD and British Indie Comics. That’s not to say I don’t Review and Preview International comics. I’ve branched out very widely since starting, writing about History, Science & Nature, Mental Health and other topics.
My main focus though is likely to always be Judge Dredd.
So what is Judge Dredd: Uprising? Continue reading
