Got this about a week ago and read it cover to cover like really quickly. Just lent it out now, but when I get it back I'll definitely go through it a second time. WOWWWW! This is great!! The fact the afterword is written by Simon Pegg says it all. My initial reaction to the artwork in number 2 was negative at first, at least relative to the amazing art in the first. However, I really liked it by the end and thought it suited the slightly darker feel of the story better than the initial art would've. The story is just brilliant. Highlights have to be the snow falling off the DO NOT ENTER. ALL DEAD. sign and the zombies in the barn. So creepy and so much more realistic character reactions to the surroundings and chaos. I love all the characters secrets and politics within the group, adds a lot of tension. Can't wait for the third now. The second ended at a cool point, leaving it so you REALLY want to know what happens next. IC, dude, I really have to thank you for this one. I handed it over to my Boston comic geek friend and he agrees it is one of the best comics out at the moment. Can't say enough good stuff about it.

Actually got given a free 1st issue of this when I bought Walking Dead TPB #1, which was cool. I enjoyed it, not enough to make me think about buying any TPB's yet or anything, but a fun twist on superheroes. IC, you should recommend it to Jax. It's sorta like Zits meets Incredibles.

Been introduced to a bunch of cartoons a few weeks ago by a Californian guy. Can't say this grabbed me, although I thought Sealab 2020 was hilarious. Don't touch my stash...I mean my moustache

me-ow

You missed the the ginger dude. Harsh. Otherwise, just wondering when tickets go on sale?

This guys a big running-joke in my apartment. The king of infomercials.....Joooooohn Basedow!! Hehe, hi and his Better Body Basics cause me daily amusement. Feast your eyes ladeez.

Who's Jewel?...no seriously Jax's sounds familiar, but can't place it.

Got TPB number 2 about a week ago and have to say I'm definitely more into this series now. I also think #1 is improved significantly after reading #2 because you start to spot more clues of what the big picture is. Will keep reading this series albeit fairly slowly. Before trade numero three, need to pick up the 2nd book of Walking Dead, the first gets better every time I read it. Great stuff.

Film Trivia: Q: Who was signed up to play Donnie Darko before Gyllenhall took the role? A: Jason Schwartzman Therefore, a treat for the ladies of a "If you like..., you may like..." type thing. math is sexy

Thanks Alita, good choice. Could do without the product placement though My vote for the girl with the sexiest voice ever!! (with a pretty face to match) Anna Paquin

hehe, thats great Read an article the other day about crap American beers coming back into fashion. I've been doing my bit, bought a 12 pack of Schlitz the other day and have been buying Pabst Blue Ribbon when I'm out. The beer sucks but at least I look good when I drink it. Fashion is nothing without pain.

This lady's behavious recently has broken my heart but I still love her. Miss Love

Oh my god!! This book has balls of steel. Unlike 100 Bullets, where the first TPB left me slightly cold, absolutely ate this up. The characters are brilliant, the typical assortment you'd expect to find after the zombies have wiped out most of the human race, but still nicely thought out. Really enjoyed reading the author's intro where he says the book is not about scaring the reader, but is more about the survival of the lead characters. The reader won't be left with "And what happened next?", but rather we'll be shown. I love it, can't wait to get some money together to get TPB #2. Who knows what other secrets the characters will be hiding??

Given the first TPB a read and will post my quick reaction. Good, but not brilliant. I like the concept, but the stories and characters didn't really touch me. Howvere, did notice you saying IC that you weren't completely grabbed by the first TPB. I'm guessing you would advise me to read on?

Correct. your turn to post some lyrics alita.

As well as 100 bullets also picked up TPB #1 of this. Looks fantastic, gonna sit down with a cup of coffee and have a rwad of it now I reckon. Will post a review later.

Had some money to burn and picked up TPB #1 of this today, thought you'd be pleased to know IC. Will post a review when I've read it.

Hotel Yorba by the White Stripes I believe. Backbeat the word is on the street that the fire in your heart is out I'm sure you've heard it all before but you never really had a doubt...

Damn 2T, your on fire. A personal fave: Liv Tyler in Empire Records For the headbangers:

No way Black Grape! Now thats making me nostalgic. Talking of Nostalgie, currently listening to one of your homelands best exports 2T, Therapy? Came from across the border..and drank the six mile water...this mongrel needs a new home..this mongrel needs a new home

This was a good few months ago so bit too late I reckon.
