Oh GREAT.

Tonight's Sucky News Headlines...

...This just in - bird flu detected in dead swans, just down the coast from me.

- this was bound to happen sooner or later, but did it have to be so damn close to me? I'm not overly worried, but I don't think I'll be able to look at the swans on my exercise route the same way again.

Makes me glad I won't be travelling across the area every day to satisfy "Big Brother" Tony B.

...on the first day of his honeymoon, my brother got stung by a jellyfish, and ended up being treated in hospital.

- talk about the perfect way to start married life... not!

Right. Bed-time. I'd rather not be awake when the third of the traditional troubles that "come in threes" arrives - but if Monday's "complications" were the first of the three, you can sound the "all-clear".

Somehow, I doubt it.

Oh yeah - Gene Pitney died: does that count...?

And Finally... Didn't get much done today, so I guess I should be going to bed with a farnham...

Comic Delivery - April '06

In Today's Episode: The identity of the asylum seeker is revealed in the latest chapter of The Darkhawk Diaries!

In This Month's Stack... One thing stands out, above all - including Infinite Crisis #5 and Green Lantern Corps - Recharge #5 - and that's Ms Marvel #1...

Keen to elevate herself back into the superhero "big league", Carol (Ms Marvel) Danvers goes to see a publicist. Talking about Ms Marvel's costume, the publicist says:

Although I do like the boots. Not everyone has the legs for them. You do.

and later on, when talking about possible appearances on TV, publicist Sarah Day says:

...it's like Entertainment Tonight with a super hero theme. Huge, absolutely huge with the teen male demographic.

Speaking of which, they're probably big fans of your boots too.

Love it. Writer Brian Reed, take a bow...
