Last week was an incredibly slow week for comics, and I was away for the Fantastic Films Weekend in Bradford over the weekend (about which I may write tomorrow). On top of that, none of the very small number of comics I bought on Thursday allow for very much analysis, so I’m going to pinch [...]

Well, I’m just about well enough to type one of these, after a few days of essentially staring blankly into space (went back to work today, though I probably should have had another day or so off). Proper post tomorrow, I hope: (BTW for anyone going to the Thought Bubble comic convention in Leeds on [...]

Before my enforced absence from any form of communication, thanks to the inaptly named TalkTalk (I now have a phone line that crackles so badly I can’t hear the other end of the conversation, I can’t receive incoming calls, and I only have internet access while actually on the ‘phone) I was going to write [...]

There are so many things going on in Final Crisis: Superman Beyond 3D 2 that I don’t know where to start talking about it. Even more than the main Final Crisis this is a thematic sequel to Seven Soldiers, and may be the ultimate ‘prismatic age’ comic, as well as being essentially an extra issue [...]

I’d hoped to do another proper post today, but exhaustion is getting the better of me (for some reason I didn’t sleep last night, and I’ve done a couple of longer-than-normal days at work this week). I also owe p(il)lo(c)k at least two comments and an email, which will have to wait until I’m coherent… [...]

Latest Big Finish A Week will be up tonight. I’m going to try to get more written this week than in the last couple of weeks, which have been busier than normal for me…. Liberal Conspiracy have a good article on why socialists should vote Lib Dem. A Trout In The Milk has some thoughts [...]

One of the problems of being a British comic blogger is that we get our comics a day later than the Americans. This can make it seem somewhat redundant to write about them. Once Jog, Marc Singer and a couple of others have written about All-Star Superman, what else can there be to say? But [...]

The following post may be a bit patchy – I started it several days ago and am only getting round to finishing it now, and I’m not entirely coherent today. However, since I promised my adoring public, here you go. This week was an extraordinarily light week for comics. Given that my local comic shop [...]
