A Bank Holiday Monday in the UK where it isn't raining; I was almost too shocked to write anything. However, I don't let meteorological surprise get in the way of talking about comic books I bought six weeks ago. Astro City: Silver Agent #1 A breath of fresh air –…
July started out a slow month for comics: two comics in the first week, two comics in the second week. Not that my bank account is complaining (although I still bolster my collection with plenty of trade paperbacks, unfortunately ...), but it makes these posts short. Batman and Robin #13…
After yesterday's self-indulgent whimsy, I'm back to doing the thing that I do: talking about stuff that everybody else talked about when it was topical, in a waffling and non-critical manner. You should know the drill by now. Turf #2 The first issue came out in the beginning of April…
The final week of June brings a lot of comic books to discuss, so that means I shall dispense with the charming introduction to this segment of 'catching up on comic books I bought some time ago and am only now getting round to talking about'. Batman: Return of Bruce…
After yesterday's lengthy post about many comics, today's will thankfully be shorter; I bought Atlas #2 as well, but I'll be talking about Agents of Atlas/Atlas at a later date, so it will only be two comics for discussion. The Boys #43 I started out enjoying The Boys – Garth…
Back to the comics. In these posts, I try to catalogue my thoughts on the books I purchased in the weekly trip to the comic book shop. However, the normal routine was disrupted by moving offices, which meant that I wasn't a 10-minute walk from Gosh! any more. Having settled…
The final week of May, and only two comics to keep me company this time. It's an even split between the two mainstream publishers, which makes me think I should be buying more books from the independent publishers. Batman: Return of Bruce Wayne #2 Or Witch Hunter Batman. Grant Morrison…
Five comics in a week is a big haul for me, and a lot of books to talk about (although I won't be talking about Atlas #1 just yet, which had the best cover of the week), so let's get to it. Chronicles of Wormwood: Last Battle #3 I really…
I'd forgotten how many comics I've bought (and not talked about yet) – serves me right for being lazy and not writing about them sooner (and posting old pieces of writing instead, also because I'm lazy). Let us get on with the business of sharing my worthless thoughts. Batman: Return…
Comics that have been purchased by me for my own enjoyment (and for my girlfriend's, depending on which books she wants to read), including my witterings and nonsense words about them. I haven't done this in a while, so it's time to get back on track towards the goal: writing…
