WELCOME It’s been another busy month at STACK . Katy Perry is back with a brand new album; Alex the Astronaut sends her debut down to Earth; and Megan Washington waxes philosophical on the fascinating Batflowers . In Life Tech we’ve put together a handy gift guide for Father’s Day in September including a few pressie suggestions along the way if you’re stuck for ideas. If you’re wondering what the big fuss about e-scooters is, check out our five-page feature and prepare to go mobile. UFC 4 is heading back to the Octagon in games, and in movies, the cult classic Flash Gordon makes a return in a newly restored 4K transfer and Friday the 13th ’s Jason Voorhees is also back in a bumper 9-Movie Blu-ray collection.
