Peter F. Hamilton. You know what the F. stands for.
Glad to know I’m not the only one who has a special spot in their personal cheese factory for ICE PIRATES.
Also, nice to see the love for FarScape.

To hell with that, thankyouverymuch
Speaking of Mike Kaluta’s Starstruck comic, it’s beautiful, but I just don’t understand it. Some of it’s online. http://starstruckcomics.com/ Maybe I should just buy it and sit down with it.
