Why don’t I ignore my sabbatical and just carry on posting as if my last post were yesterday? Let's just say I was taking the 'Clandestine' part of the title too seriously ... The impetus for blogging again, apart from having an ego that believes my opinion is vitally important…
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…
Let us look into the future ... (or here, if you don't have the sight) So, House of M begins. Is anybody particularly excited about this? Spinning out of Avengers: Disappointed, the New Avengers and the Astonishing X-Men team up to give Scarlet Witch a spanking or something. (Don't you…

Have I been doing anything, then? Well, I went to the theatre and saw Patrick Stewart and Joshua Jackson in David Mamet's A Life In The Theatre. Stewart was great, and Jackson kept his own, even though he was mostly reacting to Stewart, as two actors in the theatre and…
I'm back. Miss me? No, I didn't think so ... I still love you though ... Reviews, reviews, reviews ... HO! Comics bought 24/2/05 Fantastic Four #523 Mark Waid tries to give Galen some humanity, which is something I’ve never seen before, and gives nice moments to Johnny Storm, which…
