Phew and the funny fifth week is over time to get back to business as usual!
What a week we have! So many number ones! Star Wars: Rogue One! Tank Girl! X-men Gold! So many more!
X-men Gold! The X-men A-list is back, Kitty Pryde, Old Man Logan, Nightcrawler, Colossus, Prestige and of course Storm give battle directly from Central Park! With Marvel's greatest underdogs right there in New York, and with Secret Empire just around the corner things are bound to get extremely interesting!
The excellent Penny Dreadful returns to give us our fix of period heroics, continuing directly from where the Season 3 finale left off! It's dark it's awesome and it's tantilisingly close to being the best on screen example of the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen.
Tank Girl's fortunes have fallen and as plans to get things back on track go, inventing time travel and taking on the Nazis isn't the worst. How will her activities impact the timeline? Will she get her gold? Will the world ever be the same?
In addition to all that we have POPS! So many POPs! arriving! Expect a pyramid at some point tomorrow!

In 2033 less than 1% of the population survived a devastating pandemic virus. Half of those who lived were immune while half of the survivors mutated into something disturbingly subhuman. Now decades later, the world has rebuilt in many ways but has become something else entirely. Strongholds of human survivors have been set up independently of one another across parts of what is formerly the United States. The rich live in highly guarded Utopias where technology and even an economy has been restored.
However, the vast "wasteland" between strongholds is a very dangerous and unforgiving place where the poor are forced to live in areas where gangs, pirates and the mutated roam free.
Couriers are key to the survival of the Strongholds and are paid handsomely to deliver valuables between them.
Eve Harper is one of the best couriers there is, but when she takes a job to find a missing shipment for an extremely dangerous drug dealer named Gillings, Eve is forced to use every trick she's ever learned in order to survive the riskiest job of her life.
