April is crawling to an end and the Summer is near. Yes my children, Summer holidays is on the Horizon.
Most of my month has been spent doing the usual stuff. Studying being an annoying part of that equation. Im not much of a studier so its hard for me, but I really want a good mark this year so ill give it my all. I Finished Lunar Park last night, after only been reading a few chapters a day, and I thought it was Bret Easton Ellis' best work of his so far. The fact that its a faux Autobiography, but written with a great attention to detail and subtle afterthoughts, makes it better to me than American Psycho. Its not a boring book by any means. Murders, Horror and family values of all things makes the thing a page turner. Fans of American psycho should love it and I reccommend it to anyone. If you've never heard of Bret Easton Ellis pick up something by him.
This month has been a bit shit in that I can never get into town to pick up a few trades from ye old Comic shop. Its both lazyness on my part and lack of cash. I did however pick up Batman #664 and Batman : Detective comics #831.
Batman #664 was alright. Im not a huge fan of Grant Morrison and the story was a little slow. It tied a few loose ends for the batman and son story then rushed into a new one which made the story a little thin. The artwork annoying for both heavy line work and was a bordering cartoony.
Batman Dectective stories #831 was great. Paul Dini can successfully do a whole story in one issue and since he's doing countdown ill be picking it up. The artwork was pretty darn good if not for the awkward mouth movements. Good read anyway.
I didnt set out to get these, I had gone to get World War Hulk but they didnt have it on yet and any back issues of All star Batman and Robin were sold out. There wasnt much else that interested me so i grabbed those. I wanted Amazing spiderman too but they were delayed. piss.
Well Thats all I got for now. You never know though, you might get a drunken rant by saturday night.
