September 29 hits on the Thursday (but a delay puts them on October 4) and with that, so few months remain of the year. So too do the days run out that reading something printed in 2005 becomes something of a joke. At least they aren't running on hold for months on end.

Speaking of things that look like they never would be, Captain Gravity And Power Of The Vril #6 finally comes out. The pulp action hero of the 1930s or 50s, can't quite remember. Nazis are involved though, so that's putting the decade around then. Quite the lovely art, with a story that is nothing short of fun for the period.

Ultimate Spider-Man #83 is around about, what, the fifth part in a six-parter? Moonman and those Chi boys? Last read, #80 saw Parker doubting a deal from Kingpin.

Not too sure what Indigo Vertigo One Shot is. The hits of the 80s are ringing in the ears for some reason. Best put the Duran Duran and New Order on rest then.

Revelations #2 will most likely see Ramos draw a 40 year old looking very much like a teenager. Charlie Northern is now in the Vatican and still not getting anywhere close to cooperation from the local officials. Fantastic moody art.

Best thing about this week, Action Philosophers Self Help For Ugly Losers. The title says it all, and if it doesn't, then pick it up and read a page to see what it's about. A page should be enough to garner some sort of read on it.
