Lovely to meet you last night! Hope we didn't scare you too much.

I've barely picked up any Marvel this last year I think the only thing I'm currently picking up is Punisher Max and that finishes pretty soon. I'm a bit put off Marvel due to everything being tied into some on-going event or being related to a previous one. Avengers X-Sanction looks good but I've no idea what's lead up to it. I liked Messiah War and Second Coming does X-Sanction tie into that or have I missed something along the way? What was that Schism thing all about?

I picked up some Uncanny X-Force books, I thought Apocalypse Solution was excellent and X-23 The Killing Dream, I was pretty narked when I read that they're cancelling X-23 despite it selling better than other titles. I guess I tend to pick up Marvel in trades if I pick it up at all which is probably why a lot of the recent stuff doesn't make a lot of sense to me but then I'm really one for superhero comics in general anyways.

I'm actually picking up loads of DC which is pretty funny since previous to the relaunch I wasn't picking up any. It's not the mainstream stuff since I find their top tier characters pretty boring really with an exception for Batman although I haven't picked any Batman stuff up in ages. I've been picking up Red Hood too it's not on my pull list but I've picking it up, I'm not really sure what the hell's going on but the art's good and it's kind of fun. Swamp Thing and Frankenstein are probably my top DC picks but Demon Knights and Justice League Dark are worthy of a mention too.

I'm a big fan of Ron Marz' take on Witchblade, I thought volume 1 of Artifacts was really good but volume 2 seemed a bit forgettable really. Lady Mechanika rules it has to be said, one of the best things out there at the moment.

I'm looking forward to the Witchblade/Red Sonja mash up which should be fun I'm a big Red Sonja fan even though it does seem to get looked down upon for some reason. Brian Wood and Becky Cloonan's take on Conan should be good stuff, Dark Horse hasn't fumbled yet with Conan.

I can completely relate to that. Several years of being single pretty much corrodes the very concept of a relationship. Whenever I see someone who gets my attention like the hot girl in my local coffee place I just assume she's attached and if she isn't she won't like me and if she did she won't like me enough to deal with all my bullshit.

Fun times it is not good sir.
