Here's the blurb from Marvel's solicitations for December:
WISDOM #2 (OF 6)Written by PAUL CORNELL. Pencils and Cover by TREVOR HAIRSINE. People in Wiltshire are having nightmares. This wouldn’t be a problem if there weren’t soldiers from the nearby military base shooting the place up because of their bad dreams. It’s up to Pete Wisdom and MI 13 to get to the bottom of it. Little do they know that this threat threatens all of Great Britain and the whole world! 32 PGS./Mature/Explicit Content ...$3.99 THERE IS A STRICT NO OVERPRINT POLICY ON ALL MAX TITLES - PLEASE CHECK YOUR ORDERS AND PLACE THEM BY THE FOC.
And I needn't remind anyone, I'm sure, that if you live in Britain you can get the whole series via the link above. This is going to happen for the next four months, you realise?

Give Mr Wisdom a big hand everyone! Oh, wait...
Glad to have given you the opportunuty to do that.
Struggling to follow all this m'larky but I did promise to say hello!
I hope that's you, Rich. Cheers.
Has to be - everyone else on here seems to talk a different language to me!
I feel like a right pedantic git saying this, but is "this threat threatens" not just a tad ugly?
What is it with lit crit of the blog these days? I had e-mails about spelling a word wrong in the last one. I should realise that the internet demands the highest standards of spelling and grammar from those who frequent it. And I for one welcome that.
On the subject of other promptions, saw an ad for 'Robin hood' at the pictures last night. Cinema advertising, the BBC is really pushing the boat out on this one. But why does he have a recurved bow? Doesn't that play merry hell with the imagery of the thing?
Still, at least we can be sure you won't have done anything silly like have a character use the word 'fire' to mean 'shoot' several centuries because the invention of any weapon that you actually shot by setting fire to something.
Robin's got a recurved bow because he's brought it back from the crusade, and it's useful for his situation. The imagery of the thing has changed every time it's been remade: Robin Hood continues as an oral tradition, now in television form. And I loved 'promptions', and will use it from now on.
Oh oh oh and can I be the first to say 'Robin Hoodie'?
I'd love to be able to say you were, but the production team keep referring to it like that too!
