Bang a gong, and it's February already, shortest month of the year, cruftiest of them all. Best month actually, when you come to think of it. On the cusp of the seasonal calendar that breaks in from summer into autumn. Doesn't stop the sweating though. And you'd think it was only the obese to crank out the drip glands heavy. Woah.

Haven't been reading big on the whole Choosing Sides thing at Marvel, but when Peter Porker's about, look out. Ultimate Civil War Spider-Ham Crisis #1 clearly states one side to choose. Pork. Or ham. Or bacon. Pigs ears a rather natty though.

Ah, the series that is a gift unto itself, Kabuki #8 is expected in this week. It's the comic that keeps on giving, but certainly makes sure you wait for it. And what a wait. Like amnesia kicks in the side of the donkey with a mule to boot. Classy, but certainly familiar.

Much like the state of affairs in Ex Machina #26. Other people might not have this problem, but any series that hits the stride into the 20s, and the brain can't recognise it being a different number. Same case with Futurama. Ever eternal on the same number despite the contents within and the cover itself changing on the listing.

Two more additions, Jack of Fables #7 and Wasteland #6 are possible goers. The former sits ready to be read with the first five issues holding up with staples far from curling. The latter was a great read on the first issue and the two after that are also in the holding bay. Looking over the pile of "yet to read" it's unlikely, no matter how good these two are, that they'll join too quick.

A little time perhaps.

 

Much to do, so little frying time to do it. It's a walkabout issue with August 14 presenting a couple of hits into the pocket, a nifty thing now with the cheaper prices in effect.

Freezing the body core on reading a couple of comics in the morning, Ex Machina #23 and Casanova #4 are looking hot to warm the spine. Tight and super fine, their respective showings issues earlier today making them easy choices to pick up. The latter being pretty much the only one comic to rise in price. Give it as it takes.

The ten page preview of Sam Noir Samurai Detective #1 at Newsarama is a bit of a hard read. Opera makes light work of it though. And the preview isn't making it an easy sell, the style at this stage isn't enough to warrant picking it up.

Could be in like Wasteland #3. Where having already picked up the first two in this three part story makes walking away that less of a reason in sanity. On pause after this.
