Robot Fist is strapping on its weapons, clipping up its gunbelt and
sticking knives down the sides of its boots as it prepares once more
to make an assault on the nigh-impregnable Castle Pop-Culture. Inside
waits the Fuhrer, and tonight he must fall!

The first wave of assault comes in the form of our two regular Pop
Pugilists, Lawrence Rider and Amy Mather, who both tackle TV head-on –
Lawrence launches a witch-hunt against televangelists while Amy fights
on behalf of Coronation Street, done wrong at the hands of EastEnders.

Under cover of darkness, five more of Robot Fist’s reviewers sneak
into the cinema. James Lyon rages against the machine with the new
Metallica documentary; Matthew Craig marvels at the fighting style of
Hero; Seth Goolnik steps into Dead Man’s Shoes; Frances Ambler deals
with the fierce volleys of Wimbledon; and the curiously-named
Horselover Fat teams up with that violent messiah, the Punisher.

One-Man Music Review Army Rich Hurley locks and loads on five targets
this issue: Bad News, Brother Danielson, Clinic, The Paper Chase and
Red Krayon. He’s ably assisted by his support squad of Alistair
Kennedy, who takes on R.E.M.; Isla Leaver-Yap, who digs a grave for
Elliot Smith; and Carrie Graham, who gets punchy with
Brian Wilson’s legendary lost album Smile.

Matthew Craig gives ’em Hell with a comics double-header of
recently-filmed Hellboy and about-to-be-filmed Hellblazer – which
comes out on top?

Finally, Alistair Kennedy makes a kamikaze run on the aptly-named new
Terry Pratchett novel, Going Postal.

That’s not forgetting the stockpile of articles to be found in our
Archives and the war of words to be fought in our Forum, of course.
Look! There goes Robot Fist, the glorious liberator! Our people shall be free!

I’ve taken over the web stuff for this and my first issue is now complete (and hopefully bug free). The updating was a tad hellish but it’s all done now and looks good. Next time should be a whole lot easier.
