Counterside Noise

Picking the noses at the Noise

What exactly are the reasons behind the "staff picks" down the shipping list every week? Depends. Largely on who's picking it out and what they're looking at in terms of what interests them and their storage space at home.

Reasons why they picked a comic or two for that week might be because of a story line that they're getting into. Or a character they want to see more. Even a title that sparks their fancy from the mere mention of the concept alone. Who knows?

They do, and if they so choose to impart their reasons on the site, you'll read it here. Otherwise, it's a matter of walking in the shop and quizzing them on their picks. It's not hard, we're a friendly bunch, so don't be afraid to chew the fat about why a comic is worth your time.

Flavour to taste, with results varying wildly between the many.

Like a Hot Rod reflex

Hot Rod reflex

Make love to the wallpaper featuring Hot Rod from the Autobots. Photoshopped and styled right for the dimensions of a 1024x768 screen resolution.

There are some people out there who have tried the standard Stormtrooper costume and found it not quite blocky. For those looking to make it even more with the hot robot love, one man has done gone and made himself a few fully transformable costumes. There's one for Hot Rod, Jazz and even Starscream. Ratchet-astic!

The Yo Yo Man in Black

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

(For those that are keeping track, the player is Tom.)

Customs magic full of silica

Two weeks running with a block on the end of customs. Then a week's shipment that made it through turning out on the weekend of Supanova. Of course, those hitting the expo looking for those exclusive Aspen covers were disappointed. Customs problem again. And so another week. That's three weeks in four with a problem at Customs end.

Dropping in with the comics week to week like this and seeing nothing new helps those needing time to catch up on all the many comics they've already bought but failed to allot the proper time for. Doesn't help then when the backlog is flushed through with a coffee enema and instead of the four or five titles, it balloons into numbers over a dozen.

Now that's quite the angle for a shot of the Deadpool statue from Bowen Designs.

So very shiny.
