Eclecticisms 27/04/2011

Eclecticism – I’m busy writing so you just get the pull list for this week. My apologies but there are only so many hours in each day. Eclectic Purchase – American Vampire #14 – The WWII set up was completed in the last issue and is now set to explode with the reveal in the [...]

Previously, On CBR – Uncanny X-Force #8

Who knew an X-book could be smart… I jumped onto Uncanny X-Force because of the good press and while I’ve been enjoying it thus far I was completely blown away by this issue. I got to the end and loved it and while writing the review thumbed through it plenty more. There’s so much on [...]

Previously, On CBR – Ryder On The Storm #3 Review

I really still ended up digging this series. It certainly started off stronger than it concluded but it was a hard boiled sci fi romp at all times. I really hope more people give this one a shot in the trade because it’s really quite cool. Hit the link below to read: Ryder On The [...]

Previously, On CBR – Marijuanaman HC Review

This is a comic about Marijuanaman, a new hero for a new age created by Ziggy Marley. I didn’t like this book but maybe it’s just not for me. I’m sure there’s a market out there somewhere and I honestly hope it finds it. Kudos must go to Casey and Mahfood for doing the absolute [...]

Eclecticisms 20/04/2011

Eclecticism – I’m in the holidays and yet a new assignment is going to chew up all my time. In a good way. I’ll be trimming back on other stuff. Eclectic Purchase – Kill Shakespeare #10 – So close to the end. So keen to see what happens. Eclectic Link – The Weekly Crisis for [...]

The John Carpenter Movie List

You might not think he’s a master but he is. The man has done more than you can imagine and now we’re all going to pay him some respect. This list goes out to Fangoria, without whom I would not have known nearly enough. As always, the list is mine, and probably only mine, feel [...]

Previously, On CBR – Secret Warriors #26 Review

Man, Secret Warriors has had its ups and downs with me but this issue was pretty rock solid. Not perfect, as retcons are always so hard to pull off deftly with me, but this is great scripting and some massive moments. I think the finale to this series is going to be glorious, and it [...]

Previously, On CBR – S.H.I.E.L.D. Infinity Review

I’m sticking with S.H.I.E.L.D. I’m not completely lost on the title and it certainly warrants further reading. This anthology style one-shot delivers some great character moments and is definitely something you can’t miss if you’ve been enjoying the title so far. Not sure, hit the link below to read: S.H.I.E.L.D. Infinity review at CBR by [...]

Previously, On CBR – Butcher Baker, The Righteous Maker #2 Review

This comic is certainly an acquired taste. I can see plenty of people not going for it but those firmly in it’s target zone are dead at sight. This comic is smart and crazy and just the sort of thing only comics can do. And it is good, for all the hype. Not sure, hit [...]

Procrastination – The Alt-Tab Junk Food of Writers

I love to procrastinate. I’m damn good at it, too. There’s just something about doing the pithy things of life that make you feel like you’re doing something when actually you aren’t doing a damn thing at all. To procrastinate I utilise the following tools: email Twitter Google Reader Blogger – either creating or just [...]
