As their relationship heats up, so does the reality of the situation and both are forced to reassess their priorities. So now, onto…

So, what’d you think? Did you like my coverage choices? Were the formats I chose to report in effective? Do let me know because I’m thrilled to say, it looks as though I’ll be returning to Comic Con next…
