Usually, I don’t have comics to review because I can’t get to my shop to buy them. This week, I didn’t have anything to buy. At all. This is depressing because I love comics, but it’s positive because it means I don’t have spend money. I didn’t buy Civil War…
Wow, work just came out of nowhere and bit me in the arse. Bastard. How am I supposed to blog if I have to earn a living? So, first some linkblogging, then some thoughts on artists. Scott at Polite Dissent is back [EDIT: not completely]. Seems there was a problem…
My shopping list for the week: ................................... NOTHING! Damn. And it’s not even a skip week. So, what is there this week that I COULD buy? I could get the third Gotham Central trade, if I didn’t already have all the issues of a series that has been cancelled, and…
Lots of film-related comic book news at Empire. I like Favreau, but I’m not sure he has the visual styling to bring Iron Man successfully to life. And, please, please, not Vince Vaughan for Tony Stark. I like Vaughan, but he is not Iron Man. I hadn’t heard about Edgar…

I need to read the small print but it appears that my employers require me to work for my salary. Outrageous. In lieu of a post containing my unfettered ramblings, I thought I’d rely on the link-apalooza post to keep me regular, as it were … Is this the new…
Not writing for a while didn't mean not reading for a while; I just didn't have time to say anything about the books I read, unfortunately. There were things that stayed in my head after reading them, which is always a good sign. Even though these will be out of…
Having accepted the Blogaround challenge (in this post) and then reading that Evan very kindly said nice things about me in this post, after I emailed & blogged some constructive criticism of his site after he asked for opinion of his site, and saw that he got some good criticism…
(Am I the only one to think of the television programme Runaround when I say the word 'blogaround' in my head, or is that too British-specific a reference?) As suggested by Laura, according to her rules, I take … The Blogaround Challenge: Love Manga [EDIT: dead link] This is a…
