Experiencing the many vagaries of the unconscious mind that pass unwittingly through the night as I sleep, doesn’t seem to guarantee that such wild imaginings  will transcend from the ethereal nature of dreams to the tangibility of paper back to the intangible www. 

Basically I’m very lazy and don’t update regularly enough.  It just sounds better when you use a thesaurus to make excuses.

I’ve finally almost caught up on Y: The Last Man having just picked up trades 8 and 9 (both excellent if you’re wondering) and I’m now anxiously awaiting the arrival of number 10.  I spent most of Sunday reacquainting myself with the story by starting all the way from the beginning and reading it through the last trade, which likely a good thing since it was all unfamiliar to me. 

I was fortunate enough to pick up all issues for Angel: After the Fall (and yes I am current with Buffy season 8).  I’m not sure how much I like the direction they’re taking the story but it’s interesting enough to keep reading.  The problem I have with the Buffy and Angel comics is that you have a limited special effects budget when putting on the television series but when you move to comics you can make those effects as special as you like.  I like to compare it to when I finished my stint in basic training and the women were not allowed to wear make up the entire time but come graduation day they slopped it all over their faces because they could finally.  I like it but its not like the television shows which could be the effect they wanted to achieve, to differentiate themselves from it.  New media.  New format.  It’s just harsh ya know?

Next time: More information on the web comic!
