In The Beginning
In between these round-ups, I completed another rotation around the sun. Another year older and possibly wiser.
We shall see.
I did get some excellent Lego, though, with an Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade set!

Round-Up
Fresh off my being unceremoniously being refunded/kicked off of the Tales From The Quarantine Kickstarter, I decided to highlight some of the creators of this book. Some you will know, some you won’t, but it’s worth checking them out. You can see the Refugees From TFTQ here:
Crowdfunding
Live now on Kickstarter is a new hero, coming from a new place - The Marshall Islands - In Land Of Danger.
Spotlight
Here Comes The Dragon is a new series from Markus Pattern, who created Burnt Ends. I had a chance to see what has happened and a sneak look at what is to come.
Received
From Grayham Puttock is the latest issue of Longpig. A deep horror story with some excellent characters. You can follow Grayham on Kickstarter here; he has a new project now - Alsatian Cages: A Folk Horror Graphic Novel.
Keeping up with the horror theme is Burn With Me by Steven Ingram.
Burn with me is a 100 page "Modern Folk Horror" graphic novel about Jessica Bailey, a woman who is returning to her home town after spending 12 years in prison for the horrific crime she committed at 14 years old.
