Wildcats and Grifters, walking with dust jackets

Core Wildstorm fans will note no doubt that the lightening strikes are happening again. Bringing it back old school with Jim Lee over the head are the likes and squads of Gen13, The Authority and WildCATS.

It's a veritable death blow to sitting around on a rock waiting for that monkey to get back from his lunch break and clock back in shift.

Kicking up a storm of action, fanaticism and magic like Wildstorm on a Worldstorm surely unsettles something in the air. And when shifting sands of the environment are of concern, it's dust, pollen and all sorts of airborne particles floating up above the knee line.

For those who are nose and airway sensitive, that means a world of hay fever and emptied out tissue boxes/rolls. It is spring right now, and heading into summer, can only bring up more things to find their ways into the nasal cavities.

And if wearing a mask sounds like a good idea in keeping out the nasties, just know that they won't stop everything from seeping in.

 
 

Spinning all around in the gallery

Not enough for mere head shots of busts and mini busts in store, a snap shot gallery of the statues and mini statues in store at the Comic Shop now exists.

With traditional busts much like the arm work of a captive in Boxing Helena, a disparaging remark on the appeal is apparently seen upon the porcelain and clay faces of today. Craving more and more wing span, the current slate of busts seem to branch out in arms across the globe. Most identifiable feature difference between the current slate of busts and statues? Legs and feet.

Unless like that of a Michael Turner woman or Maria Sharapova, it's what makes a statue stand on its own and a bust an amputee.

Full body glory of a superhero or freak from head to toe and all around the clefts. It's what makes a statue ripped and primed for its stand in the home. Like a gnome, without a beard and a much tighter workout regime. For the most part.

 
 

Airlines make for cheap nail clipping deposits

Best there is at what he does -- whatever that happens to be -- even Wolverine would not be able to walk on an airplane sporting nail clippers. Outside the need to gloss, lacquer and sparkle for the women and metrosexuals, leaving them on for far too long can have dire consequences.

Finding bits of food stuck under the toenails and dirt riding the rails of the fingers being just one.

Forget to trim the nails for a few years and things can get slightly out of hand.

Stressed and with nothing to gnaw? Knuckles are the new nails. Leave the fingernails to the ants for food.

If knives or blades don't come jutting out from the back of your hands, there are other ways to shorten the nails without having to resort to eating or buying a new pair of nail clippers.

Sandpaper, scissors, garden shears and smooth cement are just a few options available for people short on spending. Experiment. Fingernails will grow back. Most of the time.

Hands, however, less so.
