Ah, a nice day.

I bought a whole bunch of comics - I'll comment on them a bit later, probably tomorrow. Several of them haven't been read yet... Quite a diverse batch this week, as nearly all of my geeky superhero comics came out (Grant Morrison's New X-Men, Mark Millar's Ultimate X-Men and The Ultimates) plus I picked up a Spider-Man comic that Darwyn Cooke wrote and drew, just cos I love Darwyn Cooke.

I also picked up My New Fighting Technique Is Unstoppable because I loved ...Filing Technique and Get Yur War On so much - I read a bit of it on the train ride home, and it's funny, but not quite as good as those two. Which is fine, cos this came first, and the fact that the newer stuff better is a good sign for David Rees' development as a fucking genius.

My package from Drawn & Quarterly arrived today too - I Never Liked You by Chester Brown, Clyde Fans pt 1 by Seth, Hundreds of Feet Below Daylight by James Sturm, and an issue of Nowhere by Debbie Drechler - all look quite good, but I haven't cracked any of them open just yet.

Mmmm - of course, cos they are free, I got the new issues of The Onion, Village Voice, and Shout. Well, I'd probably buy The Onion print edition if it wasn't free, just cos I like it so much, but this issue doesn't really have anything particularly great in it.
