It’s that time again, and issue 489 of Starburst Magazine puts it’s heart on it’s sleeve by having a memorial cover for David Lynch. Suffice to say that Lynch had a massive influence on movies, and the Starburst crew takes the passing of this titan of cinema very seriously.

It’s a great issue, of course. In addition to a comprehensive and quality feature on David Lynch and his works, we also get a 70th Anniversary special on the Muppets. It’s really good.

My bits include a smashing interview with Bionic Man, V and Alien Nation TV Series creator Kenneth Johnson. I interviewed Kenneth on the eve of the US election, so it was a very interesting (and slightly tense) chat. A lot of the best stuff made it into the issue. Fascinating chap.

We also have tenth anniversary look at Critical Role. This is peppered with comments from the likes of Ginny Di, Liv Kennedy, Jasper Cartwright and Professor MacCallum-Stewart. I hoped to talk to some LA based folk for the piece, but I picked the wrong time to arrange that. It worked out well though.

Brave New Words was mostly about source material style books; movie books etc, and Roll For Damage was filled with some of the most exciting indie games, plus a little bit of commercial stuff like D&D and Games Workshop.
