– Warren Ellis’ Orbiter is his best work since early Transmet and more than worth reading. Some beautiful artwork from Colleen Doran, nothing more spectacular than on the front cover.

– Angel Peace out..hmm an average episode majorly picked up by the last scene. Damn Lilah was looking good. And a set-up going back to Wolfram and Hart for season five could really work out well. Liked the fact that Connor could see the ‘real’ Jasmine all a long.

– Reading a lot today, I still have a headache and nothing is clearing it away. Vertigo Pop: London was a good read through to the end. I had read the first two and wasn’t all that impressed. Together it’s not bad. This could do well in trade. Captain Marvel. Not bad, finished the first story arc and it wasn’t bad at all. This should also do well in trades and quite deserves to aswell.

– Picked up a paper while I was getting milk and bread a while ago. The Evening Standard had a free “Best of the 90s” cd and I figured I would read the news and see what the cd had. It’s not bad actually. Starts off with Vanilla Ice and Mc Hammer which are good for novelty value but it has some good stuff on it too. Just moved into Tasmin Archer’s Sleeping Satellite.

– I’m in a Batman mood. I’ve always like the character alot, especially the darker stuff. Obviously that points a lot towards Frank Miller but I like a lot of more recent takes on him too. In particular the divide between Bruce Wayne and Batman. The fact that Bruce Wayne is Batman’s secret identity and not the other way around. There is a a series running in trades at the moment which I have book 1 of. The next two books are out and I have such an urge to go into town and get them. But I don’t really feel up to it.

– A large group from the V are going to see X2 tonight. I’m quite jealous. It’s a film which richly deserves to be seen for the first time in the company of a large number of comic book fans. The opening scene with Nightcrawler rocks hard, but if your going in knowing who Nightcrawler is and seeing what they do with him on screen it’s just so awesome. Don’t get me wrong, I’m thrilled to have seen a preview but I didn’t see it with anyone who was going into it as a fan. While I was sitting there loving every second if it, there in a crowd of people doing the same would be an awesome experience. The excitement building on the forums is great 🙂

– I am such a geek

– Guardian article on tv show file sharing.

– I should be at End of Days this weekend. I’m a little annoyed I won’t be there but *shrug* It happens.

– There is a discussion going on at Sk8 J about the Anita Blake books. I did see a new one out last week and didn’t really give it all that much thought. We talked about them on the V a while ago and I think I blogged about them. Anyway as it turns out this book is yet more of the same. No plot, all smut. Anita starts sleeping with Jason on a regular basis… That’s me done unless I see the word Edward on the back cover.

– I’ve not heard much good about Dreamcatcher but I read and enjoyed the book and I do want to see the movie. Sometime this weekend perhaps.
