Last month we asked if Bond could defeat Covid-19. Turns out he can’t, and the fallout from that has had a knock-on effect with theatrical cinema releases. You know all this, of course, but it’s probably worth mentioning that - Bond aside - quite a few films that were destined for the big screen are now heading to streaming services near you. This means we often miss the opportunity to dig a little deeper into movies like The Craft: Legacy and The Witches, sadly. It also means that our deputy editor Ian is being kept on his toes with the reviews section.
That said, there are still quite a few releases making their way to the cinemas that remain open, so it’s good to support them where you feel able to do so. Not only that, but there’s an avalanche of new books, comics and TV shows heading our way over the coming winter months. I don’t know about you, but I definitely feel ready to hibernate and hope for better times (and places). I hope you’re doing well and taking care of yourself, and others, if possible.
Things can be a bit glum at the moment - an understatement, I know - but we’re lucky we can lose ourselves in other worlds, other universes, until this one feels like it’s ready to rejoin properly. Hopefully you can lose yourself in SFX every month, like I do. We may not have Bond quite yet, but I’d like to think we’ve still got something for all of you.
