March 26, 2012 2:22 pm Great week, mainly marked out by the Flash, Scalped, DD, X-Force and FF. Taking a punt on New Deadwardians though, so I'll see how good that is. BQ: Has to be Mad Men, and the Uk get it this week too! Game of Thrones is a close second (also within a week in the UK) and The Killing remake did nothing for me. Original's really gripping tho'.

March 19, 2012 3:20 pm Mainly all about Batman, although Wonder Woman, Wolverine and Thunder Agents should be sweet...still not a banner week. BQ: Fresh cooked pain au chocolat with black coffee bought on the streets of Paris on a bright summer morning, after a rainy night...

March 9, 2012 3:19 pm To be honest they basically had me with "Sara Pichelli".

March 9, 2012 3:16 pm You know I wasn't really even aware f the issues that were swirling around the film (although the title change was a stupid idea, and the final credits still show it as "John Carter of Mars"). All I know is I took my 9 yr old and we both thought it was awesome. A breathtaking cross pollination of Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Flash Gordon and every other film that people in our generation grew up loving. It's that rarest of things, a movie that provided me the same level of escapism that I felt as a naive, wideyed, sheltered schoolkid. Highest recommendation and a sign that, on the back of Tintin and Super 8, we're finally back into an era of family movies that provide substance as well as expensive effects gloss?

February 2, 2012 4:49 pm Have to say I think it must be to do with the recent delays on Butcher Baker...

January 23, 2012 4:13 pm I've really been enjoying the book, and it's been great to see Maleev get back to his old standard of excellence. Still, I feel as though I need to trim the ol' pull list at the moment, so there's an upside. I think most people would acknowledge that it's only with an A-list team like this that Moon Knight seems to be able to sustain his own book these days. I don't think it's a bad thing to put him back in the box until the next great creator comes up with a great idea worth publishing.

January 23, 2012 3:09 pm It's not what I'd consider a banner week, but American Vampire, Flash, Remender on Secret Avengers and Hickman (three times over) is enough to keep my interest. Justice League has also really grown on me after the first couple of issues left me cold. BQ: Well in my corner of the Uk, at least, it's been a disappointing winter. It's a little chilly, but nothing like it should be, which I think is a shame. I like a good cold to the bone winter, the kind that makes you glad to either bundle up or hide under a blanket at home. This year it's just kind of bleeurgh...grey, dismal and drizzly. Yes, we Brits really can talk about the weather all day long.

January 17, 2012 5:49 am Some really good books this week...mainly because Batman is out, but also DD, Ult Spidey, Thunder Agents, X-Force and a good few others...some real quality. BQ: Didn't see it, but was surprised by the nomination listings. In my head it felt like a really good year for movies, yet there wasn't loads that excited me in the nominations. Still, nice to see the love for The Descendants and Tintin...but seriously no mention of Tinker Tailor?

January 12, 2012 7:52 am Is that a variant cover? I almost never go hunting for variants but I think I'd be tempted to hunt that little beauty down.

January 9, 2012 4:47 pm Heck of a week and yet I'm most excited for Amazing Spider-Man, the 1st part of the DD crossover. Also hot for all the Jason Aaaron-ness, Secret Avengers, Luther Strode and the finale of 1959. And I'm wondering if I can keep my interest in the Bendis Avengers until he finishes his run...the Dark Avengers thing feels kinda done. BQ: God, y'know I don't think I can even remember
