This is probably the oldest hat to you lot since JC's* thorn beanie, but I just this weekend finished reading The Preacher. Fuck me if that isn't one of the best things I've ever read. Most I've cried and laughed and winced in a long time. The ear Ennis has for Texan diction is incredible and, though I'm not much for badass actioning, I found it hard to wipe the grin from my face the more badass the Preacher became. A pretty outstandingly entertaining cast of characters as well. Starr was possibly my favourite, but more for his exponentially furious facial expressions than his slightly over-written verbal outrages. Though it occasionally loses focus across its 66 issues, the story overall is hella engaging and surprisingly deep. For anyone who's not read it, I can't recommend it highly enough. Unless you can't abide the odd (nay frequent) splash of obscenity and sickness. But it makes up for that with an abundance of soul. Not soul. Real soul. Hoping to try on some of the recommendations here for size. Already have Maus and looking forward to reading it. *Not that one. |

I've made a comic book! No, really. I didn't draw it, because I'm a spack-handed idiot, but I did co-write and edit it. It's available here, and it's really good. It's about private militaries and shadowy government agencies struggling for power in a post-failure Iraqi state in 2019. It starts quite slowly, but I assure you it gets a bit Neal Asher in terms of bodycount later on. Buy it! Go on. |

Thank you - you've got no idea, I'm absolutely made up. All I'll say is if you've got a dream, go for it, and other such guff. |

I should probably put this here - it has previews of the art style, links to tshirts and patches and stuff and a link to the Facebook game that you should all play. I'll stop spamming now, sorry... |

Bought this app the other day, it was mostly to remove TV shows from my NAS as I always remember that stuff needs removing when using the XMBC then forget later. I found it has a couple of other useful features for comics and Kindle books, if you have these on your NAS you can click on them and it will ask you which program on your IPad you want to open them with, in the case of Kindle it copies the book straight to the IPad storage, so you don't have to mess around with ITunes. Same thing with comics It will also stream NAS stored TV and music as well https://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/filebro ... 38545?mt=8 |
