Feeling the smooth coat of radioactive ooze wash over the face, it's a startling read to see the quick entries thus far swimming in for the Ninja Turtles giveaway.

Only eight hours after the notice of the start and the speed is picking up a steady pace. Interesting to note that there are a few people who don't sleep between the hours of 01:30 and 06:00 or if they were sleeping, know how to program their bodies to sleep-email and enter competitions.

That's an impressive skill if ever there was one for a comper. To never end with the onslaught of emails and form entries for the multitude of competitions and giveaways that exist.

Don't know what that would do for the entry:win ratio. Can't be good as there's always an eventual petering out and plateau on the horizon.

And that's from experience.

Skipping the reference to Walt Whitman and jumping right into the wet of scattered scales.

About a week after the fallout and boy, the flushing rush of media hype and spoiler dams breaking at the seams was/is intense. All for Captain America #25, a particularly interesting issue it seems. Well, for those that managed to actually read it and not have it read out for them.

do you guys have captain america #25 available to purchase if so what is the price?

Well, not at the moment. Plum suckered dry by the afternoon of last week when it hit out on the first round. Madness, and when was the last time an issue at #25 managed to clear before the doors were closed for the day? Can't remember.



Shocking really, at the speed of its legs. Hopefully, in the next week or so, if there are any left at Diamond, the stock will rise up a little for those still hanging on to own a copy to read themselves.

Speculators beware, them hangnails really do drag down the boat of rats.

Something like what happened to Captain America manages to bring out people not otherwise seen in the realm.

Because of today's terrible tragedy, I'm going to extend the free offer of my Accelerated Battlefield Combatives hand-to-hand combat learning system until my friend is put to rest.

Takes a mighty clued-in spammer to tie in the events of a Marvel Comic to their shady product.

Bettie Page, bondage pin-up model for 1950s America and still to this day, an icon of the poster scene. A sweet young thing from Tennessee who moves up in the world through modelling with a risque beat.

Subject too to one of the latest giveaways through the site and released today in most cinemas, The Notorious Bettie Page, a film starring Gretchen Mol in the eponymous role.

Bettie Page was born in which Tennessee city?

Clearly the first port of call for any competition and giveaway is perhaps the steady truss of Wikipedia. According to the users' encyclopedia, Bettie Page was born in the town of Kingsport.

From the looks of the entries flying into the drop box over the past two weeks, that's what a lot of people took as gospel and the truth that doesn't lie.

However, from the Official site of Bettie Page, Nashville is where it all begins. Double backing this fact is the data sheet featured in Playboy.

Two against one, and the thinning of entries is easy.

Play the game, but learn to play it well.

Thank you for the music, the songs we're singing, what would life be... and with that, well, hours ago really, the end of the event known as the February sale.

Last ever, as in no more, and it's done. To death, with no sunshine further in the end of the month that is St Valentine's own four week stretch of marketing moola. Hence the cut and slicing of a limb mentioned on flyers and the like.

Farewell and bye-bye where the mascot chosen, Wolverine from the Age of Apocalypse universe, is much easier to render than the blinding initial vision in the mist of rain.

Apparently, the image of one of the many zombies littering the fields of corpses, with limbs adroppin' leper like, not the clearest of a bright and future meaning. Oh, but the things you'll see when you walk the night across town with the brains and guts dragging behind, tagging along a little dog that just won't stop yapping.



Next up and to clear the calendar to make an appearance at, the very much anticipated August birthday sale. Wherein the Comic Shop will have notched a full year at the new location next to the Liverpool library.

Be there. Or be there the next day.

Effective pretty much immediately, well a couple days ago really, all standing order customers start picking up their comics on with a discount of 5 percent.

It's a free service and benefit of being a regular, committed customer. And it's that commitment to the love of comics that pays back.

And as long as the terms are abided by, a sweet deal really. Doesn't come slapping the cheeks with a charge in order to save. That's not the right kind of baked ham being served.

Better still, it goes on beyond comics and applies to T-shirts (them cotton good ones and such), action figures, statues, busts and all other sorts of merch.

As mentioned, there are terms and conditions. Such as one regular ongoing title and discounts not applicable to sale items or already discounted booty. And other things on the back of the card.

Drop by in store for more details and to start a standing order up today.

Weeks ago, a lone can of Dr Pepper was left in the drinks vending machine next to the arcade machine. Blocked from rolling in with the rest of the soft drink choices, it's a show of support, however passive, on wanting to bring back the fizz.

Apparently, one regular was so enticed by the token can that they almost jammed their hands up the flap, nearly breaking it, in trying to fish out this magic vessel of soft drink.



Just like the scene in which Homer finds himself in two vending machines in "Marge on the Lam."
