Verily, doth my head acheth, so links must sooth mine furrowed brow. A belated Happy Blogiversary to Mark; one year down, many more to go. Keep up the good work. Kevin Smith seems to go out of his way to show that he is just like us (apart from being…
Nothing on the Incoming Inventory this week. This makes it look like I don’t like comics because I don’t buy enough of them. This is not true. I love comic books and the genre fiction that they do so well. I believe that comic books are the best place for…
Usagi Yojimbo #94 I don’t have it in me to do Comics Activisim but, if I did, I would do it for Usagi Yojimbo. I have been a fanatic for the rabbit bodyguard since I discovered him sometime ago. I buy the singles, but also buy the trades as well,…
Marvel solicitations for September here. Like the DC soliciations, a selection rather than a long rundown: Ultimate Spider-Man #100 I don’t read Ultimate Spider-Man (although I did start out reading it), but you have to admit that it’s an impressive feat for the same creative team to continue for 100…
DC solicitations for September can be found here. I thought I’d try something different, and point out a handful of interesting new things from the massive listing of new product from DC, rather than go through the whole thing in detail. In reverse list order: Fables: 1001 Nights of Snowfall…
Incoming Inventory 100 Bullets #73 I’m seeing this series through to the end, rumoured to be the appropriate issue 100, and enjoying it as it comes out. It probably reads better in the trades, but it’s too late for me to switch now. Ex Machina Special #2 Ex Machina was…
My brain is not up to the Herculean task of writing novel content (although I don’t think that Hercules ever wrote anything, probably because he was quite stupid, and only up to doing the physical tasks to make up for the bastard he was, but anyway …), so some links…
A wedding in Wales on the weekend means that I couldn’t get to the comic shop to buy the huge number of books waiting for me. It also meant that I couldn’t get to see X-Men 3, a film I obviously want to see due to my formative years as…
Good news, everyone! Comics Should Be Good is now part of the CBR family. Congratulations to the chaps at CSBG; they are one of the most interesting, consistent and genial blogs around, especially as they are a large group blog. I started reading them when the prolific Greg Burgas started…
Pulse-pounding Periodicals for Perusal! Supergirl and the Legion of Super Heroes #18 I’m still intrigued by the 'Supergirl thinking it’s all a dream' concept, which has shook things up quite nicely. I still have faith in Waid, although it faltered a little in the middle of this run, so I…
