Thunder Brother Soap Division By Paul Rainey Rainey’s got previous form with a long running, multi-character epic after his time travelling soap opera odyssey There’s No Time Like The Present.

A couple of great comics that I stupidly left off the FPI Most Wanted for this month (FPI Most Wanted is our monthly look at what’s coming your way over the next couple of months). One because I didn’t know about it until this morning and the other because I have a terrible memory and [...]

There’s No Time Like The Present issue 12 (of 13) by Paul Rainey Self Published It’s getting very close to the end of Paul Rainey’s excellent sci-fi/ time travel/ kitchen sink drama of OAPs and collector culture.
