July 14 finally sees the launch of DC's answer to Marvel's Ultimate line. Opening the canons with All Star Batman And Robin The Boy Wonder #1 the logo that would make it seem as though it is all about the Boy Wonder, guest starring the Bats.

From the initial solicitations, Small Gods Special was supposed to have been an all colour affair. Now, it's just back to the plain black and white of the regular series. Shouldn't do much to dent the otherwise fine storybook dealing with psychics as cops.

There is talk of nasty action with cows in the pages of Zombie King #0. With art from Frank Cho, it'll surely look fantastic. So that's a definite looker.

Sin City is a glorious film. Watch it. Be in awe. Love it.

For what can only be best described as a slap-it-straight adaptation of a comicbook, it's pretty much a panel-to-scene transfer for the graphic novels into one cohesive tapestry.

Rich and thick of noir and heavy voilence, it's over top when you're looking at it against other fare of late.

Quick, it still manages to develop characters and situations nicely and is pretty much nothing short of fantastic.

Fitting firmer in with the contextually fixed nature of directories, the collection of busts coming out of the ears has moved from the products.

Now, the heads and torsos, mainly without arms, featurea as a gallery. In addition to the move, all the photos have been cleared up and keeping it real.

Booyakasha!

In the absence of what was going to be something constructed toward a single point, general fluff sees this:

Wes Molebash and the Viper Comics people are running a You'll Have That contest for some punter to have their mug and traits feature in the webcomic.

Hayase have apparently gone "live" with their Aussie Comics wiki. Still a little bare, content comes in trickles.

Far better as it stands compared to the The Comics Wiki. All accounts show that not even the person fronting the hosting is watching. Might be a good chance to go nuts and add all sorts of stubs. At least that way they'll have some movement toward content.

Speaking of playing around, toys, toys and more toys.

July 7 brings in something of a breather as work starts on making the store shine in gloss. But more on that whenever... I Feel Sick #1 for nothing more than the title would be it. Then again, titles don't always do good to show what's what of a title sight unseen. Probably a good idea to know what Johnny the Homicidal Maniac is before punching a slot for comics from Jhonen Vasquez. Possible. If space and time allows.

June 30. That's the end of the year. Financially speaking of course. No sense in making quick dashes to the charity line now. There's a whole year coming up straight on the edge of that tomorrow.

Every damn issue looks like it could be the last one. Amazing Spider-Man #521 doesn't have anything making it stand out. This is probably what happens when reading the comics falls back on looking at what else is there.

Wildsiderz #0 is on re-order. And cheap. And is the new J. Scott Campbell book. Good, but yet to be sold on this.

Blacklight #1 features solicitation copy that reads: "Lina Juarez is stuck in a dead-end job and a dead-end relationship, living a dead-end life in a dead-end town." which just for the hell of reading so many dead-ends is enough of a peek.

Angel: The Curse #1 supposedly picks up somewhere after "Not Fade Away" of Angel. Could be interesting, could be totally shattering thing to read up on what was an excellent closer for the show. Decisions, decisions.
