WELCOME Outlander returns for a fifth season this month, so we take a look at the genre-blending series to date; and War of the Worlds has been reimagined as an all-newTV series, which forms part of our retrospective on adaptations of H.G. Wells’s classic novel. In Life Tech we reveal the best TVs – and the tech behind them – for watching sports, and take a look at coffee machines and air fryers. Our sparkling-new STACK Record Club feature takes centre stage in music; we rate new albums from Marilyn Manson and Angel Olsen; and Private Function tell us what’s so great about Albury Wodonga . Finally, for gamers, Marvel’s Avengers assemble in JB this September and Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1+2 , an absolute classic from the ‘90s, is back on board! Paul Jones, Editor-in-Chief
