Counterside Noise

Tick flavoured tag-o-muffin servings

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

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

 

Throw everything into the pot of crayons

Freezing time now, with the swelling of the fingers into massive clumps like the obese what nub along the side dishes into funnels from the troughs. Such as it is, the feeding of the face in times of icy cold weather. Breathe inside the house, those that can see their own heat hit the cold, well, house heating may very well be an optional extra next to thermal underwear.

Take forever for a resurrection when not playing in the big two companies of franchises. Well, looks like that any way when big title changes are concerned. Nevertheless, here comes a return of Tales From The Crypt #1. Horror at it's most. And a well wishing that the kind of stories what kind the nads of the comics back in times before the Comics Code Authority hold the same kind of bit a hungry cow does for clumps of grass.

Recently an issue in this series, must have been something back about #12, didn't really jive, nor was there any real beats of jazz. Wonder then what the tune is on Ex Machina #29 by the time it gets around to that. Probably over in Kentucky by the land of this very issue.

Bendis remains, but Bagley takes a walk with Ultimate Spider-Man #110 being his final solo issue of the long running series. Stuart Immonen is taking over on the next issue with half, but let's read out the final whole Bagley issue for a nice chunk of a Marvel series. Right now on #99 actually, looks like a corker.

And cannot just pass up on Tick 20th Anniversary Special Edition #1. Jam issue, throws in all sorts of creators to slam their take on the big blue boy with antennas out his forehead. Looks promising, looks like one ride of laughs and neck popping veins.

Finding a crack between the sheets

Staff picks

Time is tight and the release of Superman Returns in just two weeks leaves the choice of films scarce for a June end deadline. Stick It or Cars? Flip a coin and watch the other one. Like all the major decisions are made.

Ex Machina #21 comes out this week. And it feel a little like Ultimate Spider-Man. What with the other week being a release week of another Mayor Hundred comic. Of course, splitting hairs about the two-part mini and the regular is too far a concern for all.

Finally, after what is probably reading another preview release on the Matt Fraction mailing list, Casanova #1 hits. There's the promise of a tight action packed story in the one issue with no requirement of having to pick up five other parts for the tale. Likes that a lots.

Runny noses still don't win marathon races

Staff picks

Finally, someone rips off the month of May from the calendar to reveal June. That's pretty late. Any hoo, June 15, and a movie about gymnastics, Stick It, with that girl from Our Generation/American Dreams. Looks like a nice smack in the groin from the bar.

Double the goodies in Archie And Friends #101. So we have the Veronicas pick up the other half of their two-parter appearance from the previous issue. Add to that, Katy Keene. Whoever she is. Well, when you start picking up a comic on a gimmick...

Another half of a two-parter is Ex Machina Special #2. Nice for those who already have the first issue of this special. That wouldn't be many though.

Much like collecting the last few issues of Cerebus and Bone, Spider-Girl #99 is only one more issue away from the end of it all. After that, it'll be something like Strangers In Paradise. That too is drawing the curtains.

And the thing about the nose relates to nothing inbetween.
