Quote of the Day

It's been a while since Garth Ennis impressed me this much, but this is a line from last week's Dan Dare #7. The character, Britain's Home Secretary, is talking about England.. and a futuristic England at that. But her words certainly resonate beyond the outer-space war story Ennis and Gary Erskine are telling:

"God knows we've enough in our history to be ashamed of, but it doesn't matter if you lie about it like the Right, or wallow in the guilt of it like the Left: Eventually you make the past a place that people can't be bothered with.

And then the nation's heart rots out, because the good we've done evaporates along with the bad."
Plus: Big spaceship battles, and electrified swords.
