Drokkin' like Dokken
Today has been fun so far. The new Judge Dredd Megazine (Meg 267) is out (here), and I managed to read a bit while waiting in the parking lot at one point. Tempest is a -great- character already, and this thrill looks top-notch. The 2nd part of the Alan Grant interview is, even though I only had time to skim it, Grud-damned hilarious. All the smack he talks about DC especially so. I also never knew Lobo was so popular in Spanish speaking nations.

(( Hey _tonylee_, when is Citi-Def to appear in the Meg? I'm looking forward to that one. The editorial promises "utter carnage". You better not let us down! :D ))

I also picked up The Mice Templar #3. Holy cow, this series is rocking! It's like if Watership Down was written by Robert E. Howard (and with mice instead as bunnies as the main focus, of course). Sprinkle in some Knights of the Old Republic flavour and you have a true gem here. I erred in that past post where I list it as an honourable mention-- no, Mice Templar is aces, baby!

I forgot to list Fear Agent. That's a crime, right there. Fear Agent is amazing.


Um... sometimes children can be very funny / wrong when they don't mean to. See, Drake and I like to make fists and tap them together. You know how that goes. Anyhow, earlier, in full view of everyone on a busy sidewalk in downtown Victoria, he was like "FIST ME, DADDY! FIST ME!" Needless to say, I was rather shocked / confused as how to publicly react; but people walking by thought it was funnier than hell. Later, when laughing about it with Sharon, the whole thing reminded me of this writer I was talking to ages ago and he was explaining how in this story he had these pirates that lived on the outer rim of a galaxy or something, and that their space-lane hijack tactics were known as a "rim job". I don't know why I was thinking about that in conjunction with the subject at hand, but I seem to remember Sharon mumbling something about "needing help" or somesuch thing.

Oh words, you never fail to amuse me.
