Okay, because I know you all want to vomit after the injury update, I've got a special present for you.

That's right. It's an epic comic. When I was your age, television was called comics. And this is a special comic. It was the comic my father used to read to me when I was sick, and I used to read it to your father. And today, I'm gonna read it to you. It's got Fencing. Fighting. Torture. Revenge. Giants.

The Adventures of Diego Chavez 3
