September 11th, 2025 - 2:16pmThe next issue £10.99 next month – with various extras

September 11th, 2025 - 2:31pmYeah. I just wish they would keep the price down and Avoid all the Extras, Which if I’m honest Nobody asked for. The price is already high enough for the Standard Issue.

September 11th, 2025 - 3:02pmIn my opinion, if it’s a free target book, then £10.99 is very worth it, but if it’s just posters or paper cut-outs then it’s a bit steep

September 11th, 2025 - 1:55pmReally Nice Cover, I think One of the best in a long Time. I liked Jodie as the Doctor, a Very Good Dynamic with Yazz. And of Course who doesn’t like Brad?
