Cinebook Newsletter 206 - February 2025

 

Dear Reader, Two titles for you this month, very different from each other yet equally exciting! First, we have the second part of our current Buck Danny two-parter, and AI is still very much the enemy – along with the unsavoury characters who control it, of course. A bunch of shadowy, massively rich people doing underhanded things with technology simply to get even richer, and threatening the world with global conflict … Now, where have we seen that before …?/P> Then it’s back to the 1930s for volume 2 of our Harry Dickson series. The intelligence here is completely natural, although what the ‘American Sherlock Holmes’ faces often appears rather supernatural in nature. The question is: can he figure out what is otherworldly phenomena, and what is perfectly ‘normal’ criminal genius at work? And … can you? February with Cinebook – science, technology, and how to stop people from abusing them! Buck Danny 15 Gil Formosa & Frédéric Zumbiehl Air Force One Project Skyborg, the Air Force’s prototype AI pilot, has turned into a complete disaster. While the system works, it has unfortunately been hijacked by agents of the Circle, a shadowy criminal organisation whose nefarious plans Buck has already thwarted several times. The terrorists are now in possession of an AI-controlled F-16 … Read more Harry Dickson 2 Onofrio Catacchio, Luana Vergari & Doug Headline The Court of Terror Frederic Hamilton, an aging millionaire and philanthropist, calls upon Harry Dickson to investigate most curious facts. For some time, he has been having strange dreams in which he appears before a mysterious court – eleven masked judges who accuse him of despoiling Humanity … Read more North-American readers, to locate a comic book shop near you that stocks or can order these titles and many more, use this handy Read more   Or, if you're a retailer yourself, please go to: Read more Amazonia 4 Episode 4 Emilie’s Inheritance 3

The Importance of the UK in Blog Views

 

I have to say that when it comes to blogging the main audience is not UK based as some assume (since I am in the UK).

Even at the very start when I use Freeservers, MySpace, Yahoo360, Google Plus and WordPress, the audience tended to be more international. I did try to specifically cater to UK comic fans and comic creators but on the whole the creators were a very negative experience. I pushed and promoted events free of charge but, again, this was taken advantage of.

I decided that rather than try to pull in UK readers I would just post reviews and things that I was interested in and as I have been into comics since the mid 1960s I had a lot of interests. Language did not matter since a comic well done tells its story via images. Chinese, Polish, Czechi, Russian, French, German -blah blah blah -if it was a comic I was in.

I also decided that the odd music video might entertain (or annoy) and although I originally tried to work out was popular (to post more of that) there was no common trend. I gave up since there was an international audience I just kept posting and even now old posts still get read so I just decided to carry on and not question things.

With dyscalculia stats never actually worried me since they are a jumble to my eyes (dyscalculia is basically numerical dyslexia which is why I always triple check figures using a calculator!.

Mind you, I do notice when Blogger knocks the odd couple of million views off CBOs totals every so often (I am watching you Blogger).

I decided to present the all time (current with CBO) views of some of the blogs to show why the UK is not the focus; UK interest in its own comics history is very poor. So enjoy the numbers -it's all Alphabeti-spaghetti to me!

Comic Bits Online all time: as I was putting this together there was the "Blogger renumber" again. Every so often Blogger seems to delete not thousands but millions of views and once they reach a certain number we get slapped back down again -this time to 5.12 million. However, the countries doing most viewing seem to not change.
