INDIAN MOON

Well Done India and the ISRO for the successful landing on the mountainous south pole on the Luna service by the Chandrayaan-3.
Never been achieved before by any other nation of the Earth!

ALPHA FLIGHT #1

I purchased my copy of Alpha Flight #1 yesterday from Forbidden Planet International in Middlesbrough, UK.
This is the first Marvel comic book that I have bought in years, so there is a lot of background story that I have no idea about.
Mutants on Mars? Orchis? What the eh?
Anyway, my personal views and thoughts are -
1/ The new head of Department H cannot be trusted, but can any leader of that organisation be trusted?
2/ Roger Bochs Jr. seems dodgy to me, No sentinel can be relied upon to not go haywire and cause chaos for Humanity.
3/ Who is Nemesis? well whomever it is, has to be a Mutant.
4/ I do like the mini Department H reports, it helped me with who Feedback is.
5/ Where is Sasquatch, Talisman, and Heather?
6/ The artwork was alright, but Puck seemed to be a tad bit taller then before.
7/ So Alpha Flight is working with the (CLASSIFIED), what will that mean to their future with Canada if the citizens find out? (Mutants)
Anywhoo, good issue and I'm looking forward to reading the rest of this mini series, but I won't be reading the rest of the Fall of X storyline.

THE LOCH NESS SAINT

In the year of 565, St Columba encountered, and reportedly drove away, the Loch Ness Monster. It's considered the earliest report of a monster in the Loch.

THE LEAPING TERROR

In 1838, Victorian imagination was fired up by the exploits of a daring troublemaker, dubbed “Spring-Heeled Jack” for his tendency to escape by jumping hedges and vanishing into the countryside. On January 8, the Lord Mayor publicly read a letter that he received, which warned of a person dressing up and scaring people in the villages to the east of London. The Lord Mayor then announced flatly that this person should not try their tricks in London proper, or the police would have them.On the evening of February 20, young Jane Alsop answered a furiously ringing bell to see a policeman down by the gate, who called for a candle. He claimed to have caught Spring-Heeled Jack! Jane ran the candle out to the officer, who held it up to reveal a hideous countenance as he vomited blue flames at her and then assaulted her with iron claws. With the help of her sisters, Jane was pulled back into the house. When a call went out for the police, Jack turned and bounded off.As police scrambled to find suspects, Jack struck again. On February 28, two young women, sisters, were walking home and turned down an alley. Lucy Scales, the younger sister, was a bit ahead of her sibling when a figure stepped from a dark corner and spurted blue flame right into her face. As Lucy’s sister tried to help her, this unknown person simply walked away from the scene. In both cases, police arrested and questioned many people, but nothing came of these efforts. The true identity of Spring-Heeled Jack is still unknown.'

THE LITTLE SERVANT BOY AND THE BARM

An old woman known as Nancy of Pen Gwndwn, kept a little boy servant, whom she sent one evening to the neighbouring village with a bottle to get some barm for her, and as he had to pass through a field which was frequented by the Fairies, he was told by the old woman to keep away from their circles or rings.
The boy reached the village, got the barm, and in due time proceeded on his homeward journey, but did not reach home.
Search was made for him in all directions, and people were able to trace his steps as far as the Fairies’ field, but no further, so it was evident that the Fairies had seized him.
At the end of a year and a day, however, to the great surprise of everybody, the boy came home, entered the house, with the bottle of barm in hand, and handed it to the old woman as if nothing unusual had happened.
The boy was greatly surprised when he was told that he had been away for twelve months and a day. Then he related how he fell in with the Fairies, whom he found such nice little men, and whose society was so agreeable that he lingered among them, as he thought, for a few minutes.

MIGRANT UK

The state of the UK in the last several years..
To be honest, the scumbag jackbooted police thug would rough up the homeless person first, rip up and destroy his sleeping bag, tent, and other belongings the person would have. And then arrest them for being a vagrant.
Whilst the illegal migrants get's a motel room, free food, mobile phone, clothes, and money.
