"Mega City Comics was established in 1981, and has been operating from our shop in Camden Town since 1987. "After 43 years (and 37 years in the same shop), Martin, the owner, is taking retirement, and the shop will be closing at the end of Jan 2025. "We had originally hoped to pass on the mantle to a new owner, but a suitable candidate has unfortunately, not been forthcoming (although do read to the end!). "It has been a joyous ride (for Martin, all of his adult life), and we have had some great staff and some great customers (a crazy number who have been here pretty much from the start, and stuck with us throughout). "So it is a bitter sweet event to be closing the doors. "The mail-order/standing order service will be winding up at the end of the year, and final parcels will be going out no later than early Jan 25. "We are not quite finished yet, and we will be going out with an upbeat bang! So if you can make it into the shop over the next two months, there will be some once-in-a-lifetime deals to be had. "The back room back issue stores are being opened up, and the shop is bursting to the seams with comic goodness, ranging all the way back to 1940's Golden Age, through classic Silver and Bronze, and right up to modern day books. "We have always offered up a huge range, but for the final run, there is more on show and available than ever before! "Fine tune those wants lists, raid the piggy bank, and head on in and fill your boots . "The final clearance sale will be launched in early Jan, but we recommend you get in earlier than that, and get your choice pick of everything we have, as there are deals to be had NOW and negotiations to be made!

GREG COTE’S NFL WEEK 13 THANKSGIVING DAY PICKS BEARS (4-7) at LIONS (10-1) Line: DET by 10. Cote’s pick: DET, 34-16. TV: 12:30 p.m. ET Thursday, CBS. The traditional roasted bird will just about be going into the Cote oven Thursday when the opener of the NFL Thanksgiving tripleheader kicks off. This is proving not to be the season to expect Detroit to revert to its old self. Because Dan Campbell has a monster going on. The Lions as double-digit favorites? Last two times that has happened. this season, Jared Goff and the lads have put up 52 points ... not total, in each game. Bears QB Caleb Williams has been better under new O-coordinator Thomas Brown. That and the rival/division factor could see the Bears hanging around as your Turkey Day digs in. But Detroit has turned into a juggernaut to be feared not doubted. At home and with America watching, I’d expect the Lions, especially that offense, to be in full preen mode. GIANTS (2-9) at COWBOYS (4-7) Line: DAL by 3 1/2. Cote’s pick: DAL, 24-17. TV: 4:30 p.m. Thursday, Fox. Dallas will be putting its 0-5 home record on national display right around the time the Cotes (and many of you) are sitting down at the banquet table Thursday. Cowboys have owned this NFC East rivalry, winning seven straight games, 14 of the past 15, and the and the past seven in a row at Jerry’s House. Now it’s the duel of break-glass-in-case-of-emergency QBs in Cooper Rush vs. Tommy DeVito. And two head coaches under fire, with the seat under Brian Dabol even hotter. Dallas Micah Parsons had two sacks in the upset win at Washington, and now faces an NYG squad that majors in giving up sacks. We’re praying for you, DeVito. Well, OK, not really. Because we’re rooting for our pick. Giants are 0-5 covering as a dog of four points or less. Let’s keep it that way. DOLPHINS (5-6) at PACKERS (8-3) Line: GB by 3 1/2. Cote’s pick: MIA, 27-23. TV: 8:20 p.m. Thursday, NBC/Peacock. Feast digested, tryptophan kicking in, dessert looking good but too full to eat. While the rest of us are feeling this on Thanksgiving night, the Dolphins are taking the field at Lambeau Field, with temperatures expected in the low 20s, with wind gusts but (mercifully) only a small chance of rain meaning snow. Oy! Brutal weather. Teams last met in 2022 (Tua Tagovailoa threw three picks), and Miami last won in Green Bay in 2010. But Miami has won three in a row entering this to hoist its season toward playoff hope, with Tua playing great. Yes, Tua in this kind of weather has not been a pretty sight. In fact he is 0-7 in games where the temperature is 40 or below, most recently in the playoff loss in Kansas City last January. Still, the Dolphins’ solid run defense will force Jordan Love to try to win in the air in conditions he can’t love, either. Yeah, yeah, I get it. There is every reason in the world to think pragmatically here, to think safely, to pick the Pack on the Frozen Tundra. But I’m feeling saucy. Maybe it’s the holiday? Blame my friend Jim Beam? Tua said this week, “I love killing narratives.” This one is: Miami can’t beat good teams, and can’t win in the freezing cold. So that makes this a two-for-one narrative-killing holiday special. And early Black Friday sale! I say the Dolphins, with a ton to prove, will stay hot in the freezing cold. Upset! ©2024 Miami Herald. Visit at miamiherald.com .

Daily Post Nigeria Oil production: Nigeria targets 2m barrels per day by December 31 — NNPCL Home News Politics Metro Entertainment Sport Business Oil production: Nigeria targets 2m barrels per day by December 31 — NNPCL Published on November 25, 2024 By Matthew Atungwu The Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited, NNPCL, said it is working closely with relevant stakeholders to boost crude oil production to over two million barrels per day, bpd, by the end of 2024. NNPCL Chief Corporate Communications Officer, Olufemi Soneye, made this known in a statement on Monday while debunking reports on production disparity figures supplied by the company and the Nigerian Upstream Petroleum Regulatory Company, NUPRC. There were reports earlier alleging that the 1.54 million bpd for September cited by NUPRC was far below the 1.8 million bpd for November cited by NNPCL. However, Soneye said there was no disparity between production given by both stakeholders. The statement further explained that the seeming disparity is a result of the difference in the period of coverage in the reports—whereas the NNPCL figure was the peak production for October 2024, the NUPRC figure was the average production for September 2024. “The Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited has clarified that there is no discrepancy between its crude oil production figures and those supplied by the regulatory agency, the Nigerian Upstream Petroleum Regulatory Company (NUPRC),” the statement read in part. According to the statement, the Chief Executive Officer of NUPRC, Mr. Gbenga Komolafe, confirmed this at the recent 42nd Nigerian Association of Petroleum Explorationists Annual International Conference & Exhibition in Lagos, where he disclosed that Nigeria’s crude oil output, including condensate, increased by 16.56 per cent to 1.8m bpd in October 2024, from 1.54 million bpd in September 2024. Represented by the Executive Commissioner, Development & Production, Enorense Amadasu, the CEO of NUPRC was quoted as saying: “This represents an increase of 253,710 bpd to reach 1.8 million bpd in October, up from 1.54 million bpd in September 2024, representing 16.56 per cent month-on-month rise. NUPRC also confirmed at the Nigerian Association of Petroleum Explorationists event that the 1.8m bpd feat pushed Nigeria’s production beyond the 1.5m bpd quota of the Organisation of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC). “There is, therefore, no disparity or discrepancy in the production figures by NNPCL and the regulator,” the statement added.
