I’m going to do things a little different this time. I’m writing each mini-review immediately after reading the issue in question. Breaking in between, etc. Not that you care. It was a pretty big week for comics. Several books that I was/am really looking forward too. Basically everything except the X-Men Forever issue – which [...]

Billy Bragg once sang: I was twenty one years when I wrote this song I’m twenty two now, but I won’t be for long People ask when will you grow up to be a man But all the girls I loved at school are already pushing prams I loved you then as I love you [...]

David Mills, aka the blogger known as Undercover Black Man, passed yesterday of a brain aneurysm. I’ve been following his blog for a couple years. He was not that old. To just die, out of nowhere? So tragic. I don’t have anything eloquent to say. My heart goes out to his friends and family. Here [...]

His Majesty’s Dragon on my lunchbreak. I admit it, I expected to dislike it. But I was/am trying to branch out (within genre I know I know, shut up and take your peanuts!), so I dove in. 1. It’s a “historical” novel – kinda. It’s set in, I dunno (or care) the 1700s or 1800s [...]

The Evolution of God by: Robert Wright Yep, you guessed it – the reason I haven’t written a book review in…at least a month was that I’ve been reading nonfiction. Yes, a single nonfiction book, even one that I generally enjoy and am interested in, will grind down my pace of reading 15fold (2 days->30). [...]

No, not goodbye from me. I’ll get to that in a sec. First off, via Rich Johnston @ Bleeding Cool, I found this post re: the return of the refrigerator. It probably won’t make sense if you’re not a comic geek, but the references are in the post and the whole story is very interesting. [...]

Alkaline Trio : This Addiction – I think it’s not as cheesy-bad as the previous one, but portions still verge on self-caricature (Draculina). AT3 frequently treads dangerously close towards self-caricature land, so this is no big surprise. The guitar work sounds a little poppier, cleaner even and there is even a song with horns. If [...]

Romeo & Juliet by Dire Straits A lovestruck Romeo sings a streetsusss serenade Laying everybody low with a lovesong that he made Finds a convenient streetlight steps out of the shade Says something like you and me babe how about it? Juliet says hey it’s Romeo you nearly gimme a heart attack He’s underneath the [...]

Do you go through your spam folder (assuming you have a blog, and your spamfilter saves things so you can survey them in your madness)? I do, occasionally. Spammers are getting strange. I feel like they’ve started copying random comments from other blogs? Check this one out: That rss feature on your blog here is [...]

Batman 697 – Some stuff happened here. I guess this was the fallout from that Arkham limited series? But hey, they arc is over and now there’s a (pink-clad, partially) Catgirl. Spider-Man 625 – Who didn’t see that coming? Seriously. It was well written but predictable and had the blatantly dubious honor of ending pretty [...]
