• Underground comic legend Richard Pester returns with more of his autobiographical tales in Trials of the Cosmic Oddity, Derna continues her train journey in Assumed, additionally we get two short tales from his impressive (unseen) archive.
• A "Summer Special"?  Don't worry it is all explained inside and if you are my age or slightly younger you will remember UK weekly comics and their bumper specials.  Trials of the Cosmic Oddity continues and we learn about his love of music and a certain Toyah.  There is the growing rebellious streak and a swift interruption by two...yes, two, Cosmic Oddities!
• If you have ever watched the movie Prince of Darkness then you will get the joke in The Transmission.
• What would happen if the Terminator met Judge Dredd? And, say, a sword wielding mystery woman? Guess where you can find them?
• My only complaint about this series is that there are not enough pages!
• In today's self publishing field it is good to have personal comics that are not complaining about "the bloody Tories" or "I spent my Uni allowance now I have to ask the oldies for extra cash" or "Oh my life is hell" and so on.  If you are going to produce a comic to entertain and tell a story then make it good -add a text feature like Derna Assumed (part 4 in this issue) where you will see how not to use a syringe.
• It really is fun when these books arrive and I finally have some energy to actually re-read and review!
