Hey, I am another Aussie, currently living in Denmark at the moment but I will travelling over Christmas before heading back down under. I’ll be going to Italy amongst other places… my itinerary isn’t fixed yet but maybe if we’re in the same place at the same time we can grab a coffee / plate of pasta / beer? :)

Hey I’m in London and another Aussie :)

Get these. They will make you a happy gay:

Gotham Central (series from 2003, now collected in four trade paperbacks. You will love Renee Montoya)

Batwoman: Elegy (required lesbian comic book reading. The trade paperback collects a series of issues from Detective Comics that feature the most awesomely lesbinoic superhero ever.)

Batwoman…[Read more]

Also! Strangers in Paradise (by Terry Moore), Hopeless Savages (by Jen Van Meter), Blue Monday (by Chynna Clugston…get ready to have a crush on Clover)…also French Milk (by Lucy Knisley) and Blankets (Craig Thompson).

WHOO INDIES!

Also support my company and read Hexed. It’s grand.

Sharks did a great job of covering the lesbo hero basics and Shannon did a great job covering a lot of the Indies (looks like I’ll be picking up Hexed!) but I’ll add a few.

The Scott Pilgrim books (Bryan Lee O’Malley) if you like indieness and movie games and slackers in Toronto, you’ll probably like this. Ramona has a Bi-curious stage that’s…[Read more]

If you want to get into mainstream Marvel comics, I highly recommend Runaways, Young Avengers, and anything from the Marvel Adventures line–they’re great introductions to the larger universe, as well as very well-written. (Well, mostly. We won’t speak of Joss’s run or some of the tragic art and writing of Civil War). If you get lost as to…[Read more]

‘Strangers in Paradise’ is an excellent place to start for both gayness and delightful characters/complex storylines.
‘Transmetropolitan’ by Warren Ellis is good if you like batshit insane. Spider Jerusalem is a gonzo journalist in the future. Technology may change, but people and politics not so much.
‘The Sandman’ by Neil Gaiman is a classic…[Read more]

I liked it. Not one of my favorite episodes, but I think they did a good job of wrapping everything up without it feeling too rushed. Amy finally got to do something interesting, and Rory was a bamf as always. I’m still not sure about River’s relationship with the Doctor; I’d prefer they show, not tell. I haven’t seen anything yet to convince…[Read more]

I really enjoyed most of it — I love the plot twists of NewWho under Moffatt. But the wedding ceremony really bothered me: River never consents. Does this bother anyone else?

Stormageddon Dark Lord of All was awesome. Matt Smith really is great with kids, all those scenes where he was talking with Stormy were hilarious.
