I've been a little unwell this week, so I haven't progressed as far as I would like with the new video, but I plan on starting to record the voiceover tomorrow.

I also may have a few special bonus videos coming to both YouTube and Patreon soon, so stay tuned for more on those!

Apparently, today is Batman Day!

Let's celebrate by talking about some of our favourite Batman books from the past and present - I've been loving Absolute Batman, and the new Batman #1 by Matt Fraction is excellent (if you haven't read it yet).
