Comic reviews: The Wake! X-Men! Many A True Nerd!

Two comic reviews on Many A True Nerd today...

First up, a joyous swing into the mainstream with Marvel's X-Men #1.

And, slightly off to one side:

New underwater horror series The Wake #1 from DC/Vertigo.

Hobson & Choi #16 - "Could Be Darker"

Chapter 16 of Hobson & Choi up now! Entitled "Could Be Darker" and features a decent-sized twist in the ongoing story. I like it, hopefully you will too.

And the end-of-month charts are nigh, so if you fancy logging into Jukepop and voting for a few chapters, would be awesome. We've been doing pretty well this month, finally hit the overall top 30, but no harm in pushing further.

Also, I've written #17 and it's great fun. Tense, scary fun.

New comics blog: Superhero comics!

New comics piece for Many A True Nerd, as I look at the current state of superhero comics. Do you know your Marvel NOW from your New 52? Also with recommendations.

Elsewhere in my sphere of bloggin' influence, we're giving away three Veep season 1 Blu-Ray sets on The Digital Fix.

New Cafe Blogging: Rio's Coffee Lounge, Walthamstow

For the first (and possibly last) time, I blog about my local cafe where I have been doing a lot of writing lately. Posted on the excellent Jammatology site.

And big plot developments in tomorrow's new Hobson & Choi episode, so now would be a great time to catch up and vote for a few chapters. Plus the end of the month charts are looming once more...

New TV blog: The Fall!

Today on The Digital Fix, The Fall episode 3 review, incorporating the news of their second series renewal.

Back to work in the pouring rain today. Gleeful.

New TV piece: Game of Thrones book/film differences

No Game of Thrones this weekend, but I've done an article on book/film differences for The Digital Fix, which is almost as good.

And hope you're all having a good holiday weekend. If you have time to vote for a few Hobson & Choi chapters, the end of the month is nigh, so that's always appreciated.

Hobson & Choi #15 - "So Far, So Awesome"

Fifteenth chapter "So Far, So Awesome" up on Jukepop now! Our heroes dig into the dark business secrets of Social Awesome, but what will they find?

Includes some banter, tea and dialogue-only sections for a change. Did that work? Let me know!

And the end of the month charts are nigh, so if you fancy voting for any or all of the fifteen chapters that exist, all appreciated. Ta.

New Blogs: How I Met Your Mother! Adult (non-porn) Comics!

Two blog posts today, and one of them isn't even about TV...

Firstly, review of How I Met Your Mother season 8 on The Digital Fix.

And second up...

A broad post on cool grown-up comics of the moment for Many A True Nerd.

I quite like that second post, so do check it out. Also, my review of The Age Atomic is up on Many A True Nerd as well, attentive readers might recognise it from this very site a couple of weeks back.

Monday night TV reviews: The Fall and Game of Thrones!

Two shows from last night covered...

Probably first and foremost, Game of Thrones on Dork Adore, and it's another bloody royal wedding.

And elsewhere...

Gillian Anderson investigates the whole of Dublin in The Fall episode 3 - reviewed on The Digital Fix.

New TV blogging: Broad Doctor Who!

Doctor Who series 7B broad lookback review on The Digital Fix!

And now I genuinely have finished writing about Doctor Who until November! Well, finished reviewing new episodes, anyway - I imagine they'll unveil some news or something before then.
