Counterside Noise

Magazines flavoured tag-o-muffin servings

Anything and nothing and everything in between with tangents or topics on the subject of Magazines.

For other things to take your fancy, there are other tags.

 

Gunning with K-Zone for the Guinness foot

The Multiverse

All these rules and notes about what kind of footprint to send in for the Guinness World Record attempt and not a clear mention on where on the form the contact details should go. Loose step there, watch out for the grating.

K-Zone's call out for the longest line of footprints looks for an outline from pretty much everyone who picks up the magazine, and even those who don't.

There's a form to fill in and if they get enough to crack the record, everyone who's part of the line gets a certificate of anonymity for their contribution. Just remember to put the return contact details on there somewhere. Otherwise, that's one missing foot for the goal.

There's no need to buy the magazine, which is good since it'll cost to send the actual foot print in.

Novels with pictures, gloss with words

The Multiverse

For those around Sydney CBD, Manly, Bondi and the Inner West, the newest LAST issue is out. Check on page 18 and you'll sort yourself out for the pick of the crop harvested across the spectrum of 2004. Ten comics all up, but if you're really counting, just over half are still around.

She-Hulk, Mitchell Hundred, Bone and Cerebus make the list. There's also Plastic Man and Conan. A tough call to make, their values judging themselves. Blew the brains out trying to make this one, the task far harder than first considered. Wow, the work involved. It pains.

Sydney based writer, Jason Rand is there for the Australian connection -- there's that Small Gods comic from Image Comics he's got under his pen.

Rest of the magazine is into that Valentine skin. Check it out. It's free, though you might not believe that entirely. You have six days left.

(This week's picks for February 10 are already holding space on the standing order. Doc Frankenstein and Captain America and the Falcon aren't that similar. But they sure do pack in some fun and intriguing schematics.)

Counterside Noise shoots trash talk, staff picks and anything else comics related and not so from the loins of the Comic Shop in Liverpool.

A place to pick up busts, statues, Simpsons toys, Transformers, T-shirts, action figures and anime as well as a place to find some storage and collecting needs.

Don't get ahead of yourself or you'll forget about the comics.
