OK, so I didn’t, I read it. In my defence, I’ve been listening to that New Pornographers album and it’s good and stuck in my head.

Speaking of news, this just in: I have “one of those faces” or something. In two days two people I’ve never met before have sworn they knew me from somewhere. One was a random customer at work, the other was a guy at Derby uni’s comic book society. I totally don’t know them, honestly.

Yes, I joined a comic book society at a university I’m not even going to. In my defence, Nottingham doesn’t have one, and even if it did I totally wouldn’t make an extra commute just to talk about comics. As it is the kids at Derby’s are pretty cool, and I got to read the new issue of Hyperion vs Nighthawk a day early. \o/

Speaking of comics, Captain America died today. The issue has out-sold despite being over-printed, re-prints are apparently imminent. Personally, I see two instances of history repeating itself here. Most obviously the hype that surrounded Superman’s death and re-birth – let’s hope we don’t get Electric Captain America! The second instance is what will surely happen if Steve stays dead and he is replaced as Captain America (which will surely happen, since the title sells). In this case I predict a reader-backlash so severe that Marvel has to bring back Rogers Coke-Classic style.
