Even after a great weekend, I feel like crap, so I could be coming down with something. Nevertheless, my urge to blog is overwhelming. Let's see what we can do ... There was a lot of news from Wizard LA over at comic news websites, much of which didn't signify…
Before we get to my comments, a few quick bits: Warren Ellis is going mad and doing a 12-hour revisit to the glory days of his forum here. Greg is holding a contest to win a copy of Scurvy Dogs and all you have to do is amuse him by…
CBR has the full list. Time to poke my nose in the waters of the future ... How much Batman stuff can people read? I know he's a popular character but come on; fifteen Batman-related titles, plus two TPBs and an archive in one month? And that doesn't include the…

In order to gain official status as a comic blogger, and to break my solicits cherry, it's time for me to look at what DC Comics will be publishing in May and given my considered, if uninformed and highly biased, opinion. (You can see a full list here at CBR.)…
So, not much in the way of original posting today. I've had a busy social weekend where I was out enjoying the company of good friends and free films (which I'll review shortly) and helping the Chinese celebrate their New Year by eating dim sum in London's Chinatown, so no…
