  Wellbeing Duck: Have They Rejected Your PIP Claim? You Should Fight Back!  Days ago everyone in the UK with disabling mental health problems were recently struck bellow the belt by the tax dodger, Rishi Sunak!  A denied PIP claim for a significant mental health condition can turn your world upside down and leave you feeling gutted or accused. People need their support, especially if you have taken the advice of professionals such as disability employment officers, counselors, community psychiatric nurses or maybe even your own psychiatrist, who might have recommended you to not work.  Well, now those politicians who give themselves nice payrises and claim huge expenses have just made things tougher and have done a U-turn on many individuals living with mood and anxiety based mental illnesses. The solution here is to be strong and patient. Draw in your support circles and fight for your rightful PIP award; it might be financially better for you in the end. This guide aims to equip you

The Button: Batman & Flash

Batman/The Flash: The Button

The Button is a DC Rebirth graphic novel, written by Tom King. The Rebirth series follows the new 52 timeline. I recommend it, straight up. The story centres on the relationship between Batman and The Flash as they investigate an anomaly. It's the smiley faced Watchmen button, recovered from a wall in the Batcave, but it's behaving very strangely!

Batman and Flash artwork
Two detective types who dress up to fight crime. One is super-human and the other is a resourceful, well disciplined sociopath with a sense of justice. It works! I never liked tje treadmill to be honest but this version of The Flash is the best and the artwork is a belter! Time travel and alternate universes have been done many times, but doing it well is what matters. 

Batman and Flash both using the treadmill 

We always compare one superhero to another, Batman and The Flash in combat would end terribly quickly—no human human can randomly defend against such speed! On the other hand, who cares? Batman comics are much better and that is where it counts! The Flash and Batman both have fantastic suites, especially in this graphic novel. Fans often like superheroes to be muscular hard men in costumes with a mask, with beautiful females scantily clad with a whip and a bursting cleavage and short skirt. 

Batman an Flash reflections in blood

Hades and Hermes have been transcoded into modern comic book writing. The annoying thing here is that my favourite character would be extremely hard pressed and would have to prepare way in advance to stand a chance in any altercation with most meta humans, especially The Flash, Superman or Cyborg, but also Aquaman and Wonder woman. It always comes down to the smashy smashy doesn't it? Well, it shouldn't be the case because the stories are more than that these days. This is a detective story gone mad. 

Bruce Wayne recovering from significant injury

The mutual respect of both men is in their blah blah blah, shared purpose, and a bit of banter! Great. We know and expect the comradery and chemistry, which, I MUST say, is better than that dog awful flash flick where they ruined Keatons Batman. In this, both men bring their own investigative skillset to the story: a rush of comic book enthusiasts ordered this the very micro-second it was officially released purely and only, one hundred percent to see the blue Manhattan chap and the unfolding of the Doomsday Clock story. Ha! It was just a teaser! The watchmen never appeared and everyone was like: 

'Well, 'I'm sure they said we'd see the watchmen crossover, ah well. . . it was a cool run, yeah a really cool run!' 

'But it was a crossover! It featured the badge, that pin, that the comedian wore and we made a few other references, but it was really a Flash and Batman crossover: Bat-bloke Brucie and his speedy mate, Baz. Sorry.' 

'Oh. . . alright then.'

Vladek Spiegelman, Maus.

•Vladek Spiegelman•Vladek Spiegelman •Vladek• •Vladek Spiegelman• •Vladek Spiegelman• •Vladek Spiegelman• Years ago, Art Spiegelman set to work, hoping to create a personal meaningful book; a comic book, depicting the horrendous experiences endured by his family in Poland during the late thirties and WWII. The book shows Art taking direct accounts and reflections from his father, Vladek; who had first hand memories of what life was like during that time. Throughout the story, we see that Vladek Spiegelman did not share his information with his son as smoothly as he could have at times. The Holocaust, the survival strategies used in his Jewish community, every part of it holds a sobering sadness and a warning that such evil once existed.

After reading many modern comic books, which are now created by multiple collaboraters who utilise excellent com

A Dishonest Regional Archetype

  The   Black Country Archetype Is Regional Identity Good?  I was raised in the Black Country, a region in the West Midlands of England, known for its industrial heritage and its unique dialect. A dialect in which Anglo-Saxon and Middle English are still evident in both vocabulary and grammar. Place names like Dudd (Dudley), Wulferehamtun (Wolverhampton) and Craegleah (Cradley Heath) show Germanic influence. In the Black Country museum and many local history books, the people of the Black Country are celebrated for their strong work ethic, community spirit, and their sense of humour. Most television broadcasts and YouTube videos portray Black Country folk as being proud of their hard industrious heritage, as if they were descendants of Tubal Cain like D.R Guttery once shared in the historical accounts of his book, ‘The Great Civil War in Midland Parishes’. My Grandfather even appears in a photograph in one book about Lye, another Black Country town, while a distant relative of mine wro

The Stay at Home Dad

When you're a stay-at-home dad, you can break away from those old roles society expects of you, because it's viewed by many as a positive step towards gender equality. However, if you're an unemployed mentally ill husband who only seems to leave the house for the weekly shop and to walk the dog—you're more of a parasite.  Fair enough, a stay-at-home dad is expected to engage in various activities with the kids, you know, like reading to them, cooking lunch or playing games and whatever, while also keeping tabs on the housework. We all have our ways of working. Once, there was a time, when the entitled breadwinning husband, who expected a pristine house and a hot meal at the table, was the norm. We've known that's sexist for quite a while now. I'd like to call myself a house-husband, when I think of the water fights against my kids and their friends the street, but, I'd also like to call myself a billionaire, genius philanthropist—it's a stretch.
