Odd choose your own adventure stream in the previous and Emo Boy #10 is out this week. For all intents and porpoises, emo boy is pretty much dead. Socially at least. And if the mark of life is dictated by the status of a website and the owner who runs it, there is no hope on the long end for the title itself.

That said, it's still a joke of a book and finding it as a read is great for those who love the overblown and the melodrama beyond that which can be delivered by Passions. Now that's some pedigree.

First two issues in the mini are well done, the good Doctor is making a move on history with his past flash a fleshout. No easier choice in the week than Doctor Strange: The Oath #3 then.

Unless it happens to be The Nightly News #2, a fly about shooting gallery of captions, dialogue and style that isn't at all like much of the offerings that exist out there at the moment. Rather flimsy though, like the slimlines of Fell and Casanova from Image. The mere heat of hands quickly turning the waves into the pages themselves.

The Jew-hating jurnlist known as Borat gets his own up in the green swimsuit of his this Thursday November 23. Possibly clashing with people who are trying to eat their food wrapped around things not of that hot lycra green he sports. Well, every one and everybody has their tastes and if it's of hair like that, a salad without dressing is surely a criminal offence.

What comes as no surprise other than a little bit of tardiness is the V For Vendetta 7 Inch action figure. Certainly nothing to do with a recent V related stand for issues that matter in the States. Finding answers and holding people accountable to their actions. Now that is a lot of V masks. Who's sweaty in the cold now?

Continuing to ruin the read before hand is knowing that Ultimate Spider-Man #102 might be on again with the whole whatever it's going on with. The "Spider-Woman" bit was mentioned about a couple of places, here's hoping the mind is wiped enough that when sitting down it only remembers the previous issues and less of the chatter from strangers.

Somewhere in the pile of all that is holey with the ordering system, Casanova #6 will fit right in. Nevertheless, it's ability to jump about like a cracker on a pepper bed is not without charm. Without sense in places, but not without charm.

And it's about time now whether or not Jack Of Fables #5 will be the last to be pulled aside of the series. All this delay in reading the previous issues seriously dents the hood of a non-existent car. But, there's something about wanting to pick it up fresh that's a driving force. Majorly.

One of the better stand-alone type comics out there will be Futurama Comics #28. No need to know anything preceding, the jump in is shallow and quick to get wet. Fun with a danish and a sploog of yoghurt for the hell of tasting what otherwise would be a normal morning breakfast in front of the weet-bix.

Double shot of it all, on November 16, at least on the cinemas anyway. Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan and The Prestige. Two fairly polar opposite films. One a comedy, the other a sci-fi thriller on the tag, "A Friendship, That Became a Rivalry... A Rivalry, That Became a Battle."

Which, can't be too far from the scene of Escapists #5. Now, there are only two issues left including this one, and despite forgetting where in the run the other issues are, would seem like a terrible shame to miss out picking up this issue. Really should stop doing this.

For those who step inside the store during the run of its season, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning, still flinging out the free passes for those over the age of 18.

November 9, Oaks Day down in Melbourne following the supposed hang over to come from Melbourne Cup. Or some thing else to do with the flogging and running of horses around a track for the enjoyment of the humans. You won't get poker chips doing laps! And so every body finds a chance to gamble and sink their lives a little more as they watch the pre-glue selection process in work.

With the subtitle of It's All Greek To You!, Action Philosophers #7 from Evil Twin Comics. Another lesson in learning and this time, from the guess of it, it's about the Greek thinkers. A fun read, it distills and sifts through the tomes to serve a platter of small crackers that fit nicely under the eyelids.

Clearly there is nothing getting in the way of waking up bleary and red-eyed after a weekend that cripples the leg from all the traipsing from one corner of Supanova to another. Frankie say relax and we move on to November 2. And with that, only a few more before the end of days of wearing the Guy Fawkes mask (as delivered by the British Freight Company) in store. Also on that week, V for Vendetta re-orders.

With all the shelf getting an empty scan of Criminal #1 days after release, Criminal #2 should be following suit. Makes for fine reading when able to actually hold the comic. Otherwise it's just a case of entering a staring match against the counter. And there is only ever one winner from that.

End of the month now and October 26 brings with it the change of day light savings in not a few days after it. Also on that weekend, Supanova, where most of the Comic Shop will be. Here's hoping that it'll be somewhat extremely quiet in store as the bods rush the stall at the convention.

Is it wrong to be falling so behind that picking up a comic is a habit of just walking from the shelf to the counter? Yes, yes it is. Read what's good for you like a raw egg is for those who like watching slimy things slide down their throats. Protein! They'll claim, but really it's the embryo they like most of all.

Ultimate Spider-Man #101 continues on good but tail end of the Bagley and Bendis partnership. One story line behind and who knows what sorts of secret plot breaks are spilling about the place. They whisper the notion of clones from far back still lingering about and all.

So, who knows about Jack Of Fables #4? First three are on the waiting-to-be-read pile and it's at that point that most new series are given the final chance to prove themselves. So...
