Apparently, the wiki known otherwise as the Marvel Database Project has senior staff. And here without catching up regularly on the Marvel exploits. Should be interesting to see how long this position holds up with the changes in net speed.

June 24. That's a Friday. Remember that.

Then forget about it if Saturday is the regular day of haulage. Could be. Who knows.

Like who would have a stack of at least 30 comics still waiting to be read and adding on two more.

One being Shaolin Cowboy #3, a continuation of a rather hyper detailed tale about a Shaolin Cowboy, a talking ass and angry crabs. Thems be a good mix of crazy.

And then Neil Gaiman's Neverwhere #1 debuts in sequential art. Neil will be in Sydney to do some signing too.

In one corner, the Marvel Database Project. Featuring, naturally enough, all things Marvel. Or at least that's the wiki's intentions.

And in the other, The Comics Wiki. A more expansive take on the world of comics. Though the posting of its notice was on a Vertigo board.

Which flavour of the Wikipedia will win out? Will TCW have a hole where the Marvel submissions would be? Would the MDBP have an anorexic fit as the users move over to the other side?

Will either really know the other without a handshake?

Do you even care? Who knows!

(Currently as it stands, the MDBP has more users. How many of those are active is uncertain. Yet.)

June 19 watches on as two series start up as two minis walk away done and finished with their respective tales.

Giant Size X-Men #3 reprints some old classic mutant tales featuring stories that manage to start and end in the same issue. Only four tales of reprints in 80 pages. Staples set to strain! Wallet set to faint! Also includes a new chunk from Joss Whedon and Neal Adams.

Definitely picking up Ex Machina #12. It's solid, intriguing, the characters are well-fleshed out and the art is top notch for capturing the moment.

Trigger #7 is either the penultimate or the final issue. Either way, this series is dead. Been an interesting read though.

Both Freedom Force #6 and Captain Gravity and Power Of The Vril #5 are closers. Can't say much about FF, it's issues were always too frenetic and jumpy to have any real linearity within the pages. CG&PV however, should end things nicely. Back issues are available on Captain Gravity these should the desire to read from the last issue first be there.

Following Cerebus #4 is due which now means that #1 and #2 still haven't been read. So no chance on picking this one up.

G.I. Joe #0 is some ground floor material. Just like Wildsiderz #0. The former, eh, can't be bothered trying to get into the 80s anymore. Outside of music that is. The latter looks promising and pretty fun.

New photos have made their mark on the store gallery. Enjoy. Or don't. Either way, that's what the place looks like as of the time the photos were taken about a couple weeks back. Thanks to Jesus for the loan of the Casio. Now, to deliberate some more on a Cyber-shot.

Last Saturday, the Comic Shop headed out to Homebush to catch the Bulldogs go against the Rabbitohs in round 13 of the NRL. Caught in the sour cream rugby dollop, it was a rather muted affair. The Rabbitohs went hard against the homeside to close the night on a draw. Even holding off the loss at golden point extra time.

What was astonishing, however, remains the sideline walkers that particular night.

The Bulldog's mascot was in fine form, stocky and looking as tough as his jowls would fall. The Rabbitohs had their little experiment freak of a Rabbit walking about for a few minutes before running off.

But against this, and even nature, was a flaccid mascot example known as the Subway Man. Walking limp, with blue bandaids out from the breadrolls and half-undressed, it was the most annoying sight for the entire night. Soggy bread with lacklustre care in the roll. It was certainly anything but the well made version found elsewhere.
