Counterside Noise

Resting period

What's so good about April 27? A day where nothing really happens in the box, or on the order. A day in which though comics might come into the store, they won't be joining the rest of the pile.

It's scary how big the pile is getting now. Stacks of some getting lost under others and some even turning up a year later. Not quite the ride of decompression.

Having given up on the slow read, Astonishing X-Men #14 is off the list as well as subsequent issues from the title. It might just be time around the corner for another X-Men movie after all.

Making loud noises at lunch time

Easter long weekend looking into a close one with the Anzac period, but April 20 looks good for new comics in the store.

Still some issues away from the rest of Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man in the arc, but the Spider-Man The Other hardcover comes out this week. Too bad there's no intention of picking it up when reading every other, other comic in a crossover storyline is looking good so far. Though that is at two issues of twelve.

Ex Machina Special #1 is a good side runner to the main series. Expected for just forty regulars, anything on the edge is just going to have to be. Not enough room for it in the normal run it seems.

And there's still that back log from a few weeks running to pick up.

One end for the third to pass away

Thursday March 30 is already and pretty much here which means a third of the year has done gone by without much to work from. Not so bad for those mooching off the system, but for those that are their own system and finding the mooching a little hard on the teats, pain threshold is very close. Too close at times.

Ultimate Spider-Man #92 looks like the only read getting a drop in the order for this week. Reading #86 with the Silver Sable has been good so far. However, like the fluff will pad in the middle, no idea where this is going.

Mighty temptations

March 23, let's see if it's another week inside the house, free from having to look at the sun and step off site, across the line of the boundary.

Billy West came out with the news that there was new FUTURAMA. Then later retracted that statement on account of not having all the right news and information. But the DVD movies are still going ahead. And at the very least, there's still Futurama Comics #24. A comic that looks like it was on 22 for three consecutive issues.

Sonic The Hedgehog #160 looks mighty tempting. But who knows where the relationships are at this point. That little hussy of a community seems to be getting a little too busy with itself, all them furries running naked and all.

Big and juicy

Thursday 16, and it's like tomorrow never gets here fast enough. And at the same time, like it's also here way too soon. Today smells like crazy, the big kids in the neighbourhoods assert their bravado by bashing up the kids half their size. Bravo indeed. Want to know which ethnics are doing this?

Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man #6 appears to be the only one of the lighter hearted series of Spider-Man comics shooting out. As such, it's one reason for picking it up as a long time Spider-Man fan.

Truth, Justin and American Way #1 looks interesting. Whether or not it's interesting enough to pay money for is another issue. This one perhaps. Just a drop.

Werewolves in Paris

Thursday 9 watches on as another ticket into the fray attempts to wrestle something may go awry. Hilarity and wasting of time to ensue. All without a certain charm. Where the hell in Newtown is behind the doors of The Hub anyway?

Stink hole.

Ultimate Spider-Man #91 continues another part of another arc that seems to never really open an end to closing within quick succession. Fine, whatever, linger on the hot rocks, the heat won't kill you.

Tight, one story in one sitting without the feeling having only read a page from some time, Fell #4.

American Virgin #1 looks interesting in that gunk on the top of your tongue kind of way. Basically a virgin who is out for marriage to rip the bed shred is faced with the possibility of dying without spilling the juices on more than tissue. Looking at the temptation, there's chances high of a read on morals without bashing about the face.
