Following the only lead she …

The long-awaited next installment in Sam Raimi and Bruce Campbell’s blood-soaked cult franchise hits US screens this coming Saturday when Ash vs Evil Dead debuts on Starz. But we can all get a head start …
Marvel’s Phase One Collection box-set was a thing of geeky beauty. Unfortunately, it was too big to fit in a Christmas sock, which is the only reason why none of you bought it for me, right? RIGHT?! Well, this Christmas I’ve upgraded from a Christmas sock, to a Christmas Alwynne’s boxer shorts, so trust me, there’s plenty of room for …
