edit: Well, okay, not today. I guess I only saved the post as draft when I got back. *le sigh*.

I went to our Glasgow office last Sunday to do some maintenance and upgrades to their networking equipment. Being a Sunday trains were likely to be very dodgy, and a missed train could add a further hour's wait on a 5 hour long trip.

After Flashpoint, their latest 'event' ends, 52 DC series will be starting over at #1, featuring new costume designs and a more streamlined and accessible continuity.
