Wake up early enough in the morning and the cheapskate will find a nice source of rancid water if they find themselves licking the leaves in the garden for the dew. Of course, other, sane people will just turn on the tap and drink from that. Or suckle on the chunks of ice frosting out their fridges.

There may be rainy days, but it's not all wet and sunshine with water far from being all around. Which brings up the topic of umbrellas...

The Umbrella Academy just came out in the US so I'm not sure if it's going to come to Australia. Will you be obtaining any of these comics/the series? I note that you do sell Dark Horse Comics and hope that you may be able to assist me with my enquiry.

The Umbrella Academy from Dark Horse. Written by Gerard Way of My Chemical Romance and art by Gabriel Ba.

Recent comic of spoke is a teaser from that whole Free Comic Book Day thing not too far back into the distant start of this month. Actual comic itself won't be hitting any real shelves, here or in the US, before September.

And the wait begins again until such time.

 

Finally got around to reading the Whedon prequel comic to the upcoming Serenity movie. Pretty tardy, given that the third issue of the miniseries hits the shelves this week.

And they swear in written Chinese here, with no help for those who cannot read the glyphs. Oh the coy play on censorship! A fine and rollicking kick-out-the-jams run as the Serenity crew barely make it off the world alive and poorer for their efforts. The comic has speed, energy and dollops of wit. Now, to hunt down a copy of the second issue.

Look on the horizon, Serenity LEGO-ised.
