Day 690

Aka Friday 21^st December 2018

…watched ‘The Tourist’, which was a bit meh, more like a TV movie from the nineties than a feature film. 3/10.

…and I still felt ultra-tired/knackered…

…read the three-issue mini-series 'MCMLXXV', by Joe Casey and Ian MacEwan and about Pamela Evans, a taxi driver demon/monster fighter. I though that this was an ongoing series, but it seems that the third issue is the last, which is a pity as it’s a great, fun story. It’s kinda a cross between Taxi Driver, The Warriors and Buffy and feels like it’s taking place a few streets away from the Frank Miller’s Daredevil (the ’79 - ‘83 run), but it never feels like it’s just a load of references thrown together. Mr Casey writes a great story, with potential for future stories, and it is beautifully illustrated by Mr MacEwan. I feel like it’s destined to be a future classic that wasn’t fully appreciated when it was published. 9/10.

…and I did the G2 Crossword:

…which goes a tad better as I only needed to cheat on two of the 23 clues, would have gone a bit better if I hadn’t forgotten that ‘buttocks’ is another term for bum and I learnt that ‘slew’ is another word for ‘change direction abruptly’.
