I got an interview today It's a job with, of all people, the DWP. The irony overwhelms me, forum. I'm surrounded. I don't think I'd mind the work, and the money is good for a while. Good day to get it in the post too- I quit my volunteering thing today. I wanted to last week but my mum flipped out and I conceeded to stay on for a while. I just couldn't face going in today though. I've been so bored there it's unbelievable. I don't grudge giving my time for a good cause (and it is. A very good one) but I could feel my brain cells leaping out of windows every time I sat on reception there. I'm not going to do something that makes me miserable when I have more I could do here like work on my blog or something.

er..no. sorry dude!

I'm about to write a review of Invincible. I'm in conflict to weather I should write a review of a purchasable volume, or the whole series. Having read so much, it's hard to break off and write about one piece. also: I have a theory about where Kirkman might be going with Invincible #61-70 or beyond.
-
I wasn't implying that it was a success because of the comic, merely that Hollywood never had any good ideas loads of stuff is based on comics you've never heard of.
-
book shits on that number from a lofty vantage point. The film gets a few bits right but you really need to read the original. It's way better.
-
wasn't it a comic book first?
-
Good night, and Good Luck!
-
any idea where you're planning to live? edit: you know, sans crackwhore internet?
-
in all fairness, The Wire is way better than Invincible.
-
awesome, looking forward to it. I didn't realise you had a letter posted in Invincible #48 rez! The torrent I got has the letters pages scanned in and I was reading them, read yours and thought mid way through 'this sounds exactly like Rez' and indeed it was. Congrats in some form, I suppose
-
I've been putting It's Blitz! through it's paces again, and I like very much. Satisfyingly maturity of a great sound by a band smart enough to move with the times. Some really great ideas involved, and some quality song craft on show. Hurrah!
-
preference over Invincible is a strong term, Rez! A great pop record can always be as satisfying as a prog rock opera after all. Still, it looks absolutely fantastic, and you may be right. I've always prefered books that are about characters than punching characters! (Invincible does both, which is handy)

I'm back up with House- or at least on my way. I've been enjoying it as ever- I wouldn't say it's weaker really. edit: only seen up to the episode with the agrophobe. spoilarz etc. -
So i torrented all of The Walking Dead too. I've read 2 issues just now and...damn. This is good. I know FP have the hardbacks in stock so I think I may well just buy it. I'm very, very impressed. The PDF scan jobs I've got are excellent , but there's something in the style of this that just needs to be owned, read in hardback and collected.

just watch it you mug!
-
i imagine it's a matter of time. rip off atm though!
-
haha that's pretty good.
-
It's a start. Good day planned: sarnie at my favourite meat based eatery, gonna poke around Block Buster, play some Street Fighter and some frisbee. Aw yea.

milf? .......

I just looked on the Kirkman forums and it's due on the 22nd. Not too long, I suppose.
-
sorry, lot to type. I made a lightning edit anyway so you just arrived at the wrong time
-
dude, so awesome. I need to read it all again really. The art is truly something else now. It was good before, but the new colourist is some kind of genius- there's so much depth and texture to the pallet now, it's fantastic. but man....the story. You told me it got more epic, but I had NO IDEA this was coming. I expected something totally different.
-
It's...fairly long. By western standards anyway. It's no JRPG-multi-disc-jesus-christ-get-to-the-fucking-point-you-faux-literaté-cockends 70 hour snorefest, but there's meat on the bones. I'd guess at 15-20, depending on your thirst for sidequests and exploration.
-
I just.... I just caught up with Invincible... I just.... Unbelievable....I can't believe Kirkman just did that I'll be back tomorrow/ later to discuss. Mind Blown. Epic.
-
errm, I've not seen The Shield. I have heard it described as...closeish to The Wire- at least in tone. Couldn't comment on the characters or plot though.
