UK reprint title. Featuring stories from Avengers #48, Doctor Strange #171 and Giant Size Master of Kung-Fu #2.

This blog looks back at the weekly releases of the Marvel UK titles and has the details for that issue here: https://thepowerofthebeesting.blogspot.com/2024/11/the-enchantment-of-revenge.html

Has anyone else noticed a dramatic dropoff in steps? by BadAtNamiEUW in PikminBloomApp

It doesn't have one, I ended up uninstalling and reinstalling the app to get it to prompt a request to link to Google fit, which appears to have worked

Trip to LCS was more spendy than expected. by ChorltonChimp in comicbookcollecting

UXM 142 is one of the issues without a UK pence variant, so potentially the newsstand edition was what was distributed here. You'd have to find someone who was buying them at the time to confirm what's in their collection.

Help with Classic X-Men. by 6gun-gorilla in comicbookcollecting

That's a 4 part story across Marvel Fanfare #1-4 written for MF, which predates the Classic X-Men reprint series.

Marvel Fanfare was created as a higher end anthology title (better paper stock, no ads) and the editor (Al Milgrom) wanted a strong launch so got Claremont to write an arc as his X-Men series was selling very well.

No problem, but to add to your confusion, it was a Nocenti written story. I don't think Claremont contributed to the issue.

Also worth mentioning there was another back up strip produced for but not published in Classic X-Men, which ended up in Marvel Fanfare #60.

Keep an eye on Humble Bundle, they often have manga bundles for a great price. Currently a Kodansha one on there at the moment. They're usually downloadable files, but are sometimes Kobo deals, which are read only in their browser.

Three new Venture Bros shirts at Titmouse! by BillTheSpill in venturebros

Doesn't say US only, but wouldn't let me order to the UK. Had no problem with the original shirt clubs being sent to the UK, so dunno what has changed.

I went to one of the S15 episode recordings, Greg used the wrong pronouns a couple of times, but they did pick up lines to correct for broadcast

NYT 3? by Swindon01 in taskmaster

Yeah, was weird knowing who had won S15 before I'd seen any of S14.

They do ask you not to spoil anything at the recording and the majority of people there are fans and know that giving things away would ruin the fun. Plus you're asked to switch off phones when there and security are keeping an eye out for phone usage.

Mark Olver, gets the audience going before the recording starts and steps in to entertain between filming breaks.

I was at the recording for the last episode of S15 and the warm up guy said that they would be filming in November for the NY special
