RANTS&RAVES

RICHARD EDWARDS EDITOR RAVES Had a fantastic time at SFX Book Con 2. Thanks to Foyles, the authors and the audience! Excited that Being Human creator Toby Whithouse is writing the Neil Gaimanproduced Gormenghast adap. Rants No Who on Christmas? Let’s skip straight to Boxing Day!

NICK SETCHFIELD FEATURES EDITOR RIP Goodbye, Stan Lee. It’s impossible to overstate his impact on my imagination. Yes, Kirby and Ditko were vital, but it was his voice that unified the Marvel universe. Raves Just finished writing the sequel to The War In The Dark. Free evenings feel very weird...

IAN BERRIMAN REVIEWS EDITOR RAVES Listening to the scores to Possum and Doctor Who: The Invasion. Both wonderfully spooky. Was delighted to hear on 6 Music that Jon Spencer (of the Blues Explosion) rates Jodie Whittaker’s Doctor too. Rants I really miss Doctor Who’s opening teasers.

KIMBERLEY BALLARD PRODUCTION EDITOR FAREWELL So this is going to be my last issue of SFX! It’s been an amazing journey over the last 18 months and I’m really going to miss the team and all our lovely readers! Raves Playing the beautiful game GRIS, where you help a girl through a watercolour world.

JON COATES ART EDITOR RAVES Excited about the talented folks attached to the new Mandalorian series. Rants Reanimated taxidermy has no place on kids’ Tv. unless you grew up in the ’70s, when the likes of mangy vermin Hartley Hare (p75) were primetime entertainment. utterly terrifying!
