I always feel I should be into more Image comics, now that they have a much more expansive and higher quality range than when it first came out, but I don’t know if I can get over my stupid prejudices. I feel guilty when something I had been interested in…
The sun is shining in Old London Town, which is a pleasant change, making my mood pleasant and benign. I have no desire to criticise or comment sarcastically, even on something like Countdown to Infinite Crisis, which is obviously asking for it. Instead, let us visit other parts of the…
My brain seems to have recovered since yesterday, although not enough last night to actually be able to read my comics haul, so reviews will come later. But my brain is overcompensating by floating all around the place, so this post will digress. You have been warned. I watched Teen…
A bit all over the place, which might mean I'm coming down with whatever illness is beating my girlfriend's immune system at the moment. Still, might be fun, eh? First all, don't mention St Patrick's Day. I'm half Irish and I get annoyed by the way the festival has been…

My brain is all over the place today, so no real new content today. Instead, some links and turgid commentary. Here is an article [EDIT: link no longer exists] about those lovely comedy chaps, Mitchell & Webb. I've previously shared my love for their TV show (and their radio show…
