Turtle Tuesday (Comic book reviews): The quality slightly increases thanks in part to callbacks to past characters, including Chameleon, Scumbug and Wyrm.
Sleuthing Sunday (Book review): Walsh takes inspiration from even sketchier materials but again makes us feel we’re reading a lost Sayers novel.
