So, how can something so utterly infuriating be so bloody addictive?
Also, now that Lost is done for the season and The Shield is still on a break, what the Hell am I meant to download and watch 6 months before it airs in my country now?

Lost
Spent yesterday catching up on the last four or five episodes of season two (God bless bittorrent! We are only on episode five or so over here).
So, how can something so utterly infuriating be so bloody addictive?

This Week's Comics
Step one in removing my carefully designed facade as being a trendy muso type person - I read comics. Lots of them. Have done since I was a small person, still do now that I'm a small but older person.
So, with that out the way, here's what I'm looking forward to this week, from Comiclist.
DC COMICS
52 Week #3
Infinite Crisis never really did it for me, yet I'm comitting myself to a weekly comic from DC. Odd. I blame the Grant Morrison factor. Having Montoya and The Question in the bok doesn't hurt either. Now if only that entire run of Denny O'Neill Questions that I bought from Ebay the other day would hurry up and arrive...
Batman #653
I'll read this somehow, probably. Don't plan to pay money for it though. I usually like James Robinson but so far the story has left me cold. Not to worry, Dini and Morrison are just round the corner.
Birds Of Prey #94
My enjoyment of this is dwindling a bit, but it's still a way better than most DC books.
Catwoman #55
Didn't plan to stick with this after Brubaker left, but it's not been too bad without him, so I'm still onboard for now at least.
Checkmate #2
Issue one wasn't bad, so I'll check this out in TPB. I'd rather be reading Queen & Country though.
Hawkgirl #52, $2.99
Simonson & Chaykin. That's enough to get me to buy it.
Hellblazer #220
Denise Mina has done OK so far, and it is quite fun to see John in Glasgow. Storyline really needs to start speeding up though, or Hellblazer will be back off my buy list, just like it was when Mike Carey bored me shitless.
Loveless Vol 1 A Kin Of Homecoming TPB
Cheap, so getting purchased. Azzarello is hit & miss. 100 Bullets is wonderful, most other stuff, not so much.
Teen Titans #36, $2.99
Been buying Teen Titans in collections so far, so I'll get this when it in TPB. Curious to see how the continuity train wreck that is the Doom Patrol will be handled.
MARVEL COMICS
Avengers & Power Pack Assemble #2 (Of 4)
These Power Pack minis are fun, so when this goes to cheap digest collection, I'll pick it up then. Issue one had an unitentionally hilarious cover too, as bad design led to Captain America abscuring part of the title, leaving anyone who didn't know better to think it was called Avengers & Power Pack Ass, which is just plain weird.
Black Widow Things They Say About Her TPB
I really should stop buying collections of mini series that I already have, but never mind.
Daredevil #85
Brubaker, Lark. Slam dunk.
Iron Man #8
As appealing as the thought of the creator of Carnivale writing Iron Man is, I'll pass.
New Avengers #19
Yeah, it's not really all that great, but it's not bad enough to stop me reading it. And I'm a filthy Bendis whore, obviously.
New Thunderbolts Vol 3 Right Of Power TPB
Reading this in collections. It's alright, but now I'm a jobless bum, it might be on the chopping block once money starts to run out.
Nextwave Agents Of Hate #5
Not quite as funny as it thinks it is, but good enough, despite being written by Warren Ellis, who I don't hold in very high esteem.
Powers #18
Again, Bendis whore. His best book by miles though, so it's ok.
Sensational Spider-Man #26
Meh. I wish this would get cancelled, since the effort it takes to remove it from my regular order is too much for a man of apathy like me.
She-Hulk 2 #8
Not as entertaining as it used to be, but always worth it for Awesome Andy if nothing else.
Spider-Man Black Cat Evil That Men Do Marvel Premiere HC
I really should stop buying expensive hard covers of mini series I already own... A combination of my strange fetish for hardcovers (seriously, slap something in a hefty cover and stick a dust jacket on it and the odds of me buying it skyrocket) and my liking of Kevin Smith mean I'm buying this anyway.
Spider-Man Loves Mary Jane #6
I'm not a teenage manga loving American girl, but that doesn't mean I can't read comics aimed at them, does it?
X-Factor #7
Not as good as the Madrox mini, and I don't much like Peter David, but probably the best regular series with an X on it nonetheless.
X-Statix Presents Dead Girl #5 (Of 5), $2.99
Peter Milligan doing weird shit. Count me in.
THRUD COMICS
Thrud The Barbarian #1
Hopefully I can chase down a copy of this. Thrud is always highly entertaining.

Random Shite
Howfy, if you are reading this, I'll go ahead and presume you already know who I am from my other blog, Bring Me The Heads, which saves any tedious introductions.
Don't expect any music posts here, apart from the occasional single track or something, this is more a spot for me to ramble on about general stuff that interests me, including but not limited to music, movies, football, wrestling and comics.
It'll no doubt interst no one (including myself) but hey, it'll pass my time while I'm helping bring down the music industry by up and downloading music, wont it?
