Day 755

Aka Sunday 24^th February 2019

I went for a morning constitutional, aka my long walk, and managed to walk 9.88km (6.14 miles), in 1 hour 50 minutes and 59 seconds, which burnt through 1,100 calories and took 12,469 steps…

…then I read ‘The Wild Storm’ #20, in which Warren Ellis unleashes the full fury and power of Apollo and Midnighter in an almost issue long fight defending a small town against Skywatch troops, which is expertly illustrated by Jon Davis-Hunt and Steve Buccellato, with some glorious set pieces, included the comics equivalent of the ‘Oldboy’ corridor scene. A great action filled issue, which also moves our characters closer to the final showdown. 8/10. 

…and then read ‘Savage Dragon’ #242, another issue that manages to balance straight-up superheroics, personal drama and humour, in which Malcom and Ant battle Ragnok (who has been ‘taken over’ by a 1%er), while Malcolm and Maxine’s personal life is complicated by Angel, who tells the kids who their real parents are. 8/10.

…and then I prepped for next Thursday's interview…
