There are reports that certain people attacked by aliens and abducted by wombats also favour sprucing up their rooms and houses with statues. Why not?

What kind of week is it when the shipment hits shelves on a Wednesday November 16? Seems rather odd, strange even.

Makes for a light week when Ultimate Spider-Man #86 and All Star Superman #1 are the only side ons. The former for the eventual end toward 100. The latter as a look to see how Quitely does Supes and what the essence is in the first issue.

Looking more forward toward reading the back piles still sitting around. Doesn't help when coming across something as weird as Jim Balent's Tarot.

The spate of comics actually passing through the hands of Customs is something to be joyous about. Let's see if November 10 can add another number to that tally.

Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man #2 is written by which one of the three Spider-Man writers? Straczynski? Hudlin? Does it matter? Here's to reading only parts of a 12 part crossover. One third of which, hopefully the holes in between won't seem like canyons.

Reading up on DMZ #1, it kind of sounds a little like Escape From wherever the hell in the US it is today with much anarchy. Kind of warped deal that makes for inspired reading really. Picking it up for the sheer fact that it sounds like brutal journalistic warfare of sorts. If the first few pages aren't that so inclined, back down it goes.

Down in Martin Place, for at least this Saturday, the flag poles all up and down Martin Place look so very tempting once more. Reports will have it that Superman Returns has returned for some location filming. And with the banners flapping in the winds, how can they be wrong?

Need to scale the poles in order to souvenir one of the Metropolis Museum banners? Try it during the day time, when more people are less likely to be that of the Red Sun crew. And bring something like clippers or scissors hardy enough to clip plastic rings off. Don't forget a stick to flick the top part off the holding pole.

What else are you going to do in the city?

For that desktop wallpaper pleasure and all the ladies and gents out there who love watching a man play with his yoyo.

Thursday November 3 will be an extremely quiet week for picking up comics. So quiet it'll be like not picking up anything at all. Of course, that never really happens anymore. Like a flicker of silver in the eye and an issue hits the counter ready for home, to lie and languish.

Sure, Ultimate Spider-Man #85 will be added to the tally of those that aren't being seen to nearly as quick enough as they are coming in. Worse still is not knowing if an issue was read on account of them all bleeding into each other. And then the realisation is that, no, the issue at hand (#81) was never read in the first place. The first page yes, the rest, no. Now that, (#81) had some action and movement in there. Classy cliffhanger too.
