My advice - keep buying tape for the car and keep buying the comics. Andrew buys so many comics he cannot afford a car (well that and he does not drive)

Neil you are so right, even though you should be happy that you have a comic you didnt know you had. It is very frustrating after spending ages searching for a comic, finding it, then finally buying it, bagging and boarding it, then when you go to p…

Hi Worris, welcome. I love bagging, boarding, and boxing. I have just ordered a 1000 boards from comicjohn and can't wait to get them used. It will take time but it's an important part of the pleasure I get from collecting. What I really hate thou…

Of course, you could just collect slabs to save the time of bagging and boarding and then you wouldn't be able to get distracted by reading them, lol.

'He wants to eat and he wants to live.He tried death and it didn't work out for him.He's not going back'.

Shitnips,this is late!Blame it on a hectic week that was started off with the monstrous amount of titles I bought and had to read,then computer stuff,Ebay stuff and German heavy metal.So forgive the speed at which I may rattle through some of these issues;my buy list was 19 titles this week just gone (this review set is for comics out the 28th january!).Normal service will be resumed when I get around to reviewing this weeks issues...Let's get cracking with the knacking....

'We have many bodies in our basement since you came here'

Ooh,spooky.And that's quite apt because it was a bit of a spooky week this week,comics wise...No,I didn't buy a bunch of horror stuff;but something quite unnatural happened as you will see if you make it to the end of this weeks effort...
Although I didn't buy all of the series when it was out,what I had read of it was enough to make me pick up Starman issue 81 this week.This is one of the oneshots that DC is putting out to tie in with Blackest Night-if you weren't aware of this,DC have picked a… Continue

'Trust me.I'm a doctor.'

And so the snow finally disappears back where it came from,meaning that comics can safely travel from wence they came and into our comic shops as normal.Let that be a lesson to you,snow-don't fuck with the comic buyers if you know what's good for you.
Let's dive straight in with issue 6 of Absolution,the finale to this Avatar series about superhuman vigilantes.This got steadily better as it went on,and the series ends not quite as I was expecting-I'd voiced concerns early on that this could get… Continue

As the weather blights us by chucking a tiny amount of snow onto the floor meaning that the first weekly dose of comics of the year are delayed,I thought I'd never make it through a whole 2 weeks of no new comics.Only Blackest Night issue 6 at the end of 2009 is not enough to sate the hardcore reader!Thankfully,communication arrived from the local FP on friday just gone that the new issues had arrived safely and were being sorted through.One quick text order later,and my stash was readied and I… Continue

'Define the goal.Define the objective.Define the terms of victory.'

As we throw 2009 out the back door and open the front door to welcome in 2010,and I'm stuck here feeling grotty and thus not down the pub/round a mates,what better opportunity than now to cast my reading eye back over last weeks comics?I'd do a year in review thingee but those things really piss me off-it's an easy and lazy way to fill the papers/tv time/all yer favourite magazines for the start of the new year.
It seems that the lack of anything being released this week-except for issue 6 of Bl… Continue

Okay,this one is for last weeks releases-after the weeks holiday that my broadband took,I'm a little behind with these.And as this weeks issues are not out till Christmas Eve,I'm not brave enough to go into town to get them so I'll be reviewing them at some point early next week when the turkey has been devoured and most of the beer has been drunk :0) And for some reason,there's nothing being released New Year week so I can have a breather and maybe just maybe get around to popping the shrinkwra… Continue

Okay,this review is delightfully late thanks to BT crashing my broadband for 5 days thanks to an upgrade that they didn't tell me about that caused havoc with my connection.Suffice to say,their collective ears have been filled with swearwords and as you can see,abnormal service is resumed.The above quote is not aimed at BT but it does make me snigger.
So,this is for not this weeks swag but the week befores...hopefully I'll get this weeks stuff sworn at before that christmas thing happens.

I deliberately avoided gloomy quotes this week and searched for something more...odd.I think I found it.After last weeks monster week for releases,this week was bit quieter,although there were some big releases amongst the books;more on some of those later.Before I get into my writing frenzy,let me just pass comment on a couple of books from last week that I missed but picked up this week:Tank Girl:Skidmarks issue 1 (this may have been from earlier than last week but I didn't realise it was out!… Continue

'I'm happy now,Flash.I'm dead'

I sure do enjoy a cheery quote to get me in the mood for my review,don't you?It was a monstrously huge week for releases-again,why do they feel the need to unleash so many books at once?Surely they can spread them out a bit?-so let's get down to the nitty gritty,shall we?Some of these may be short...else it may get very long indeed...

Leeds Comic Convention 2009

After a very long day that had me taking in the sights of Manchester and Leeds,and also of carrying a heavy bag of comics around the Leeds convention itself,I was glad to get home last night and give my feet a rest.Less than 24 hours later,here I am,while it's fresh in my mind...

Ok, this may be a bit off-topic, but recently I discovered a website where you could manufacture your own demotivational posters. You know the type - a picture with a black background and some clever and witty epithet below the picture.

Welcome back to the blog that never ends.Blame the comics people-if they didn't make the bastards then I wouldn't read them and then I wouldn't review them.It's a vicious circle.
If anyone read last weeks tome then they'd know that it was such a busy week that I had to leave some books behind.Those few were rescued this week and can be quickly reviewed before we get into the swing of this weeks stuff:
Dark Reign:Young Avengers issue 5 mostly confused me...and then I noticed that I hadn't bought… Continue

I know,I know-I keep finding these lovely,inspiring quotes in my weekly comics to use as titles to these reviews.I'm sure you all find them beautiful and they draw you in to whatever ramblings I've typed up this week.Relatively quiet week this week,but I notice that there's an absolute glut of titles out next week,so that may explain it...
