Johnson  \nReviews: The Mammoth Book of Best War Comics, 1408  \nInterview: Shaun Hutson  \nRescheduled Feature and Review  \nThe 2000AD feature we had planned for this week’s issue has had to be postponed until next week. Apologies to everyone, especially Al, who wrote it with a very tight deadline, and managed to get it ready despite hourly phone calls asking “is it ready yet?”. He only knows as he’s reading this…Sorry, Al! To make up for this, we will be running a very special competition alongside the feature. Tune in next week – same time, same inbox. Also, the review of Mike Carey’s Dead Men’s Boots will also feature next week (hint: it’s excellent – buy it now!)  \nRescheduled Hub  \nHub has a new publication day. From this week you should enjoy your regular fix of short fiction, features and reviews every Saturday instead of Friday.  \nSpamalot  \nIf you have tried to get in touch with us recently, and received no reply, it may be because our spam filters seem to be working overtime. We’re currently trawling through our spam box, and finding emails that need answering. Be gentle with us – we’ll be in touch, soon (this goes doubly to anyone who has submitted a story – we plan on having our slushpile cleared by the end of this month) .  \nAbout Hub  \nEvery week we will be publishing a piece of short fiction, along with at least one review (book, DVD, film, audio, or TV series) and we’ll also have the occasional feature, too. We can afford to do this largely due to the generosity of the people over at Orbit, who have sponsored this electronic version of the magazine, and partly by the generosity displayed by your good selves.

Johnson  \nEvery day I’ve watched her on her routine inspection of the freighter. I have followed her, one shadow behind, down into the machinery of the vessel, then back to her living quarters. Her tour is confined to a relatively small area. It takes forty minutes at most. Then I watch her showering. It is easy for me to do this. We are alone on the five-million-ton ship—the only crew it needs.  \nChanya. I'm watching her now from the gallery outside her quarters, gripping the wire mesh. She is working gel over herself methodically. My fingers flex in sympathy. Her skin has turned silver under the cool overhead light. Her mouth is a straight line. I want to touch her, to feel warm metal against warm flesh. As I imagine it.  \nI’m a pervert.  \n\\#  \nFILENAME: First Entry  \nMy name is Rheia. I’m not so different from you. I have tried to explain why to myself. I will try to explain why now.  \nI work as an onboard engineer for a large freight company specialising in interplanetary contracts. Ten years ago it wouldn’t have been possible for one like me to attain such a position, but even my kind has unions now. The Company covers my health and maintenance insurance and the pay is good enough to satisfy my other needs.  \nI have never seen my manager at Company headquarters. He knows I’m a competent worker. My intelligence and my various enhancements see to that.  \nWhen at Company HQ I’m not permitted to spend time with most of the other employees orto use their cafeterias. Separate facilities are set aside for my kind. In my off time you can usually find me in the research section of the Company library.  \nSometimes I get advertising from the Company’s clothing and cosmetics departments on the second level. It never contains anything I can use of course, but I do cut some things out and paste them in a small notebook which I take with me when I go into space on the carriers. I have the notebook with me now, though I never look at it.  \nI don","cbCaiuTygsIJoCQO","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiuTygsIJoCQO","pdf",329406,15,"English","# Issue 22 Contents\n## Fiction: The Mechanism\n## Reviews\n## Interview\n## Rescheduled Feature and Review\n## Rescheduled Hub\n## Spamalot\n## About Hub\n# The Mechanism\n# First Entry","[{\"question\":\"Why does the issue mention that a planned feature was postponed?\",\"answer\":\"It states that the 2000AD feature planned for that week’s issue has been postponed until next week due to timing and deadline pressures.\"},{\"question\":\"What change does “Rescheduled Hub” announce for readers?\",\"answer\":\"It announces a new publication day: regular short fiction, features, and reviews will arrive every Saturday instead of Friday.\"},{\"question\":\"What does “Spamalot” explain about unanswered messages?\",\"answer\":\"It explains that spam filters are processing messages aggressively, and the team is reviewing the spam box to reply to emails that need answering.\"}]","Hub - Issue 22 - Rescheduled Feature and Review | PDF",1789970018]
