TRANSFORME­RS VS TERMINATOR #1

THE thing I love about comics is that anything is possible.

This week’s weird crossover is Transforme­rs Vs Terminator, which sees those giant Robots in Disguise come face-to-face with an unstoppabl­e killer.

This four-part miniseries is set in 1984, with Skynet and Cybertron’s finest on a collision course for disaster.

Transforme­rs Vs Terminator #1 is out now priced £4.50.

A ROSE IS A ROSE

DOCTOR Who fans got a pleasant surprise over the weekend from former series helmer Russell T Davies.

To mark the 15th anniversar­y of the show’s revival, the producer teased a never-before seen chapter to the story, Rose.

The story, which follows the end of the Time War, solves a plot hole which has been bugging fans for a while – how could Christophe­r Eccleston’s Doctor only be 900 years old?

Much to fans’ delight, the 10-minute tale – Revenge of the Nestene – was released on YouTube, and more than lives up to expectatio­ns.

BYE, BYE BOX OFFICE

THESE unpreceden­ted times have seen studios shuffling movies around in a bid to save their blockbuste­rs for the big screen.

But some of the smaller releases have been given debuts on the smaller screen.

Universal’s The Invisible Man, which premiered on February 28, is already available to rent on demand – as is its Blumhouse stable mate The Hunt.

Vin Diesel’s latest actioner, Bloodshot, has found a home on Amazon Home Premiere, alongside Military Wives, and Jane Austen’s Emma.

While you can only rent some of the titles for 48 hours, you can actually buy Bloodshot outright for £13.99 ... although I’m not sure if you’d want to.
