New comics group blog: Insult to Injury. Worth a peek. Some good Hellboy coverage, and lots of raving about the just-announced Sea Guy from Vertigo comics (which I may have to get just because).
And I ought to mention When Will The Hurting Stop and Tim's pretty good efforts to emulate Dirk Deppey while Journalista is on hiatus.
Neilalien responds to folks asking if he knows about Dr Strange's recent activities in 1602, and I've gotta say that our favorite Mysterious Palindrome has the right idea. I think the series will read MUCH better in one sitting than monthly, although I did enjoy the cliff-hanger to the most recent issue. I do plan on re-reading the entire thing once the last issue comes out. I think it'll be worth that, at the least.
Yes, I've heard the news about Erik Larsen taking over Image. So what? I may not like Larsen's work, but his support of Age of Bronze shows he has good tastes, so I doubt it'll impact any of my reading of Image books. Have I mentioned that I liked the second issue of Common Grounds yet? Anyway, the Larsen thing is not a big deal to me.
Peter David has finally returned and blogged about the latest Angel and such. I loved Smile Time. It was incredibly funny.
The Comic Treadmill reports that people are buying things at Amazon through their site. I'm jealous. In the entire time I've had my links to Amazon up, I don't think anyone except hubby-Eric has bought stuff at Amazon through them. And no, nobody has bought me anything from my wishlist either. Especially not the first season of Buffy or Angel. Heh. Oh well, such is life.
I've been impatiently watching the progress of my wireless router and card via UPS ground shipping. How long does it take for a truck to get to the west coast from Tennessee, anyway? The wait is killing me. I hope it doesn't lead me to be overly impatient when I start to set the network up.
Toy Fair is over, and Figures.com has the LEGO news. I want those sets...
I still have a few copies of Lion's Blood that I'm willing to send to people if anyone wants one. Again, I'll send it the cheapest rate, and you can reimburse me for shipping when you get it. Just drop me an e-mail with "Lion's Blood" or the name of the blog as the subject and give me your address. I've only got one taker so far (and yes, Aunty, I'll send it out soon).
Check out Dewey's World for opinions on recent comics (including Aquaman and Abadazad) and for an answer to the age-old question "How long does it really take to read a comic book?"
Via Legomancer, a list of what W has accomplished as President. This link is not for Republicans, since you already have your own view of what W is.
Via Various and Sundry, we get a look at comments in the leaked Microsoft Code. Note that the article doesn't reproduce any of the code itself, just the comments. Also note that programmers are potty-mouths, and there is a bit of swearing early in the article.
Hey, I'm actually mostly through my blogroll... and I've still got a functioning (mostly) brain! Time to go relax and play another video game or something.
