This is a dance off. If you see this, repost a dance, or you're eliminated.
However, if this proves to be successful, we will be adding a third tier of "cringe," whilst pivoting to video and enforcing a subscription based model WITH AI ads. Enjoy! (K)
Due to diminishing attention spans we will no longer be doing 3000 word discussion/reviews of our carefully curated selection of comics. Going forward we will be adopting a one word, two tier system where we'll be giving a rating of "Peak" or "Mid" to any old shite. (K)
The balls on Paramount+ to even suggest that I would want to skip the intro Cheers. (K)
Loved it. Could've listened to you guys talk comics all day long. (K)
Perhaps the highlight of @tfnationltd.bsky.social Manchester for me was, not only their excellent panel, but being lucky enough to be within earshot of @drivaaar.bsky.social, Simon Furman & @nickroche.bsky.social afterwards as they had a quick debrief, & hearing how much fun they'd had doing it. (K)
Once again, Dave and I go back in time, coming face to face with the stark reality that our childhood is starting to sound like what 'Stand By Me' sounded like to us in 1988, and that the world in which we grew up no longer exists. Plus, Venom. (K)

I can't deal with him now. He'll just have to wait 'til I get back from work. (K)
Oooh! Now they ARE tempting. Thank you so much for the heads-up. (K)
And after all that, I only got one toy at @tfnationltd.bsky.social Manchester. I wish he had more grabber-like arms and hands, but I still can't help but think of 'The Enemy Within' (which was my first Transformers Collected Comics) when I look at him, so that's no bad thing. (K)
Ah, nice one. Great Scotch minds must think alike. (K)
Continuing to plug some gaps in the old collection, I also procured these two fine specimens viav Simon Furman himself at @tfnationltd.bsky.social Manchester, and I'll get a couple more at TFUKCon in May, and then a couple more at TFN in "August/July." (K)
Like everyone else at @tfnationltd.bsky.social Manchester, I picked up one of @davidcousens.bsky.social's gorgeous The Transformers: The Movie prints. Love how he's managed to find that sweet spot between the US, the UK, and the Japanese promo posters. Masterfully done. (K)
Transformers; came for the toys, stayed for the comics. The multifaceted @drivaaar.bsky.social immediately had me with these and, as always, his stellar video editing skills at the @tfnationltd.bsky.social Manchester opening ceremony. (K)
Had my curiosity piqued previously by' Britformers,' but master salesman Nathan Webb's elevator pitch finally sold me on it. The fact that it's designed and formatted like a Marvel UK Transformers comic felt like a warm hug to this old G1 dinosaur. (K)
When I saw the ridiculously talented (and all-round amazing human being) @abbybulmer.bsky.social had this gorgeous Transformers Animated print, it was immediately on the @tfnationltd.bsky.social Manchester shopping list. As was that sleepy Snarl sticker. (K)
My favourite bit in this film. (K)
I do, but I'll be honest; it was the porn in the window that gave it away, Mate. (K)
Wasn't the one just down from Paramount Books by any chance, was it? (K)
Managed to pick up some of this fine stuff this time round; Scotch transforming sensation from the '90s, Jugger Morph. Always nice to see the old homeland representing , and props to @adtcomics.bsky.social and @gavtrdq.bsky.social for not allowing the big man to fade into obscurity. (K)
Had a fantastic time (as always) at @tfnationltd.bsky.social Manchester yesterday, and Friday evening too. A perfect appetiser for the main event in "August/July." (K)
On Bluesky? I'd still see you over on Instagram. And definitely on YouTube. (K)
I blame cyberpunk for me believing that living during an early stage dystopia would be a lot cooler and more exciting. I just wish I was 30 years younger, without shot eyesight, plantar fasciitis, a dodgy knee and a temperamental back. Maybe then I'd be more equipped to deal with what's coming. (K)
You deserve your flowers. Hope your broken wing is healing well. (K)
I first became a fan of @helenmccarthy51.bsky.social's work when I saw her feature prominently on the half hour, BBC2 documentary, 'Manga,' which IIRC was shown the night before 'Akira' in January of 1994. And now, all these years later, Helen has written The Bible, and I'm still a fan. (K)
I'm starting to think that Skybound maybe should have started with a new #1 after Daniel Warren Johnson's run, 'cause as much as I'm not a fan of new #1s every couple of years, Kirkman's run has felt like a restart rather than a continuation to me anyway. (K)
Larry David? (K)
Dave and I have gone back in time to witness "the wedding of the century" in our CMYK-tinted specs and matching dresses chosen by Mary Jane. This story has grown arms and legs. In fact, you could say that this story has grown, 'Tentacles.' (K)

Get that Knight Rider reboot off the ground, cast Webb as Michael Knight and you've got a hit on your hands. (K)
