Game of Thrones FINALE!: Fire and Blood

Weiss did a great job of adapting this immensely rich novel and streamlining it into a coherent show. Like the first book in the “Song of Ice and Fire” series, season 1 is essentially a prologue for the war to come and an even more grand season 2.

‘Banksy of Bulgaria’ Turns Statues of Russian Soldiers Into Superheroes.
There’s a good lad with the nickname Banksy of Bulgaria. Said Bulgarian Banksy recently turned “Russian Red Army soldiers from a monument in the city of Sofia, in Bulgaria, into popular superheroes and cartoon characters.”
