THERE IS ONLY METRO. Dev-i and Professor are very excited for Metro 4, the movie, and 4A's continued projects. There's a lot of ground to cover, so hopefully Dimitry keeps writing.
China now has the second best submarines in the world. The Fendouzhe has come just 20m short of the world record for submarine depth in the Mariner trench. That's pretty deep.
Chris Claremont wants to focus on character, not plot. He's sick of fighting. And that's just fine with us. As long as Avengers doesn't turn entirely into Days of Our Lives.
This week Dev-i continued his Japanese holiday, Professor frantically cast spells and DJ tried a crafting Battle Royale.
