Christmas time and it's the season of summer in Australia. A period where the many find comfort in walking aimlessly in the freezers everyone knows as shopping centres. They may sweat out and lose three kilos in the trek from their homes to the multi-level car parking facilities, but make no mistake. The winner is clearly the festive fun.

The loser is the water weight conscious. They who judge their lives on the bathrooms scales. The ones who see how much the bag of dates helped them lose. How far closer to rails they are now with the dodgy food court tastings. The ones who may take to drinking up to water load in times of competition weighing machines.

Care needs to be taken in which liquids go into the temple that is the body in times of staving off dehydration. Simple plain tap water will suffice. Recycled water even. Flat soda water isn't too bad. But stay away from the variety made of hops and barely or potatoes. Stuff which will take the eyes and swim them through what may very well seem like an endless bath of chlorine.

Which also is not a good thing to ingest on any basis, no matter the occasion.

 

No direction, no purpose, that was the non-life of Him later to be known as Adam Warlock.

Born as an artificially-created human, and powered with the Soul Gem thanks to a run with the Infinity Gauntlet, Adam Warlock is looking prime to claim the championship in the staring competition.

Stylistically, like wearing sunglasses on the inside of a closet, Warlock chooses to play his matches with slices of mascara beneath and around his eyes. His defence is that black makes it easier for his staring competitors while he has to endure their plain faces.

Out of focus, those looking too long into his eyes have reported being beset with blurry vision afterwards.

 

Not long now before the release of the conclusion with X-Men 3: The Last Stand. At least for the first round featuring the core prior to splintering into the spin offs. After that, it'll be just like the trail of comics spreading out on the silver screen.

Before that happens, X-Men Fairy Tales.

In the tradition of the X-Men Classic, "Kitty's Fairy Tale," comes a series of new legends, reimagining the greatest X-Men stories through folktales, myths and fables from across the globe.

In the story of Momotaro, the Peach-Boy, an old Japanese woodcutter and his wife cut open a giant peach only to find a baby boy with a peach pit for an eye, crying inside! The couple quickly learns that there is more than meets the eye as the baby shoots ruby-red optic blasts when the pit is removed!

Afraid of how the outside world would treat him, the Peach-Boy is raised in seclusion until a mysterious Monk comes along and shows the teenaged Peach-Boy that his is a gift to be proud of.

Believing he is destined for greater things, the boy joins the monk on a journey to defeat the evil demons that have plagued his lands and captured a beautiful red-haired princess.

In the spirit of new angles, Earth's Mightiest Heroes are redone in Marvel Adventures Avengers. Where tales of old are made to look new again. Cold fingers turn fat.

Might have spent a few years repeating classes, but now Rival Schools are finally out from the noodle soup people of UDON.

DC Comics throw together a band of magic men in Shadowpact. Featuring an appearance by Superman, this motley crew are up against some exclamation mark threatening the universe.

Missed the dead mobster the first time around? Frankenstein Mobster is on reorder.

Marvel bring in the spin on the old tales and poems of the classic Poe with Haunt Of Horror Edgar Allan Poe.

If the endless referential gags on late night and the DVDs aren't enough, read all about the Griffins in comic book format. Family Guy: 100 Ways To Kill Lois by Stewie Griffin is the first of a three done run from the guns of Devil's Due Publishing.
