Facing the worst nightmare for any man — a worm under the skin, according to H.R. Giger; figuring out what reading material to bring along for our trip home over Easter according to me — is all the more reason to creave a Kindle. It is of course still not available outside the US, and given the adoption rate of the non-rythmic parts of the iTunes Store in the EU, it’s unlikely to see the light of day until just before the Event Horizon eats us all up. And then what’s the point really? Well, I guess it’s better late than never.

I’m not pointing any fingers, but note this interview with Warren Ellis in Writers on Comics Scriptwriting:
And yet you continue to write superhero comics, why is that?
At the moment, yeah, I’m still writing superhero comics. But Planetary I’m only expecting to run about three years, and that will be the last superhero project I do. Once Planetary is complete, that’s it, I’m out of the genre. Planetary is designed to say everything I have left to say about superheroes.

Now note who is scheduled to take over Astonishing X-Men after Joss Whedon.
Not that I’m complaining. I’m just waiting for the damn trade to be released and rereading my Iron Man: Extremis in the interim.
Alright, so I promised to get started on Comic Club quite a while back, but I never picked up the reins and got it going proper. Well, it’s never too late I hope.
In an apparent attempt to compensate for its absence, the sun has decided to bring its full strength to bear on a Copenhagen in dire need of some revitalising after an eternity half a year of drab grey skies.
I went to Fantask, our local geek store and picked up Hellboy: Seed of Destruction as well as, quite shamelessly, a new Zits (Crack of Noon). Really I should have started collecting Hellboy a long time ago; I hang my head in shame.
While I was there, I stumbled onto issue 4 of The Walking Dead, and suddenly remembered that I had bought issue 3 a while back, but never got around to reading it (I started reading Walking Dead last year).
With Rikke at work, I hunkered up on our bed with a Coke, some chokolate and a friendly warm ray sunshine to keep me company.
I finished the first of the two Akira volumes I’d gotten yesterday from Amazon. And despite wanting so badly to read the second as well, I don’t want to waste it away just like that. Even though it ain’t easy! I guess I’ll have to get the remaining four volumes one of these days.
So I read me some Walking Dead 3 instead, drank some coke, lounged in the sun with the occasional gentle breeze from the open windows letting me know that while this may seem like a good day, it is nothing compared to the summer lying ahead.
Now, what might you be up to a day like today?
So Matt finally got around to working me into his webcomic. I’m the bald guy; and no, I’m not really that bald (nor am I that thin, but I’ll let that one go). I’m not sure if it all makes sense to people who aren’t in the comic, but hey… :)
