Absolutely disgusted by Sainsbury's..well, it was actually the Danny Dyer DVD boxset. Yes, that's right: Danny. Dyer. Boxset. WTF?! I felt my brain losing intelligence just looking at the cover...
Also had to buy a new hoover this week. That sucks.
Last night, held my first pubquiz. A few technical issues aside, went down well and free drinks are never to be sniffed at...
In the midst of a ton of books at the minute. Been a fan of Al Williamson's ever since his Empire Strikes Back adaptation art blew my 9-year old mind (c'mon, compare his work to the weird Infantino stuff that came before...) so cracked through the first volume of his Secret Agent Corrigan/X9 work from IDW. To think this was running at the same time as the cruder art seen in 60s superhero comics is a bit of a wonder...
Also reading Supergods, Grant Morrison's historical placing of the superhero in the cultural consciousness, peppered with his own autobiographical comic career trajectory. Immensely enjoyable, high-falooting but always relatable, this is a seriously absorbing read.
ALSO picked up a kitschy Catwoman book for £2.99 from the Works: for that price, just nice to look at the poppy old artwork: given me the bug to draw Catwoman in her classic costume now though...funny how some designs you hate as a kid, you evolve to appreciate more over time...

Saw that Catwoman book but thought, nah. But the big question is... does Grant Morrison mention his Zoids work at all? ;)
