Reacher And Thought Bubble in The Daily LITG, 14th November, 2025

On the train from King's Cross to Harrogate for the Thought Bubble Festival 2025 and Reacher Fight Fatigue was the most-read story



Article Summary

  • Live updates from the train to Thought Bubble Festival 2025 with exclusive coverage throughout the weekend
  • Reacher Season 4 and the topic of fight fatigue dominates pop culture news and Bleeding Cool's top reads
  • Recaps of most-read comic stories from previous Thought Bubble weekends over the past seven years
  • Spotlights on indie comic debuts, creator birthdays, and festival exclusives happening at Thought Bubble

It's time. I am on the train from King's Cross to Harrogate (change at Leeds) for the Thought Bubble Festival 2025. You'll see plenty of coverage on Bleeding Cool this weekend, and I am lifted by a comment of one of last year's videos, by one Greg Donert, who says, "Rich, thanks so much for posting these walkthroughs! I'm exhibiting at my first Thought Bubble, so this really helps give me an idea of what it's like." They'll be debuting Glitch in the Mix #1 in the Bubbleboy Hall at F10, and I'll run a preview later today. Who knows who will be there next year, who is only reading about it on Bleeding Cool this year?

Reacher Fight Fatigue was the most-read story on Bleeding Cool yesterday, again. Lying In The Gutters is the daily runaround for the most-read stories the day before, as well as over the past seven years. Founded over sixteen years ago and steeped in a history of comic book industry gossip for a further eighteen years before that, Bleeding Cool has become one of the longest-standing and most well-known pop culture websites around. The Daily Lying In The Gutters remains a long-running runaround the day before and possibly the day ahead. In summary, you can sign up to receive Lying In The Gutters as an email here. And maybe you just have.
