May 29th, 2009 by Riff
It’s taken me a while to get into twitter but I must admit I’m hooked by the phenomenon. It’s a social network in a microcosm – it’s a smorgasbord. You take what you want – it can be fully interactive or it can be as brief as a text message: “We’re going down the pub.” [...]

Ed Brubaker’s Angel of Death (a non-review)
March 4th, 2009 by Riff
Ok I need to start out here by telling you I really don’t like what Ed Brubaker does. In fact, I make strenuous efforts to avoid his stuff because, frankly, I think it’s crap. (Ok, I’ve never met the bloke, but I intensely dislike his stories, although I want to be clear that I don’t [...]

February 22nd, 2009 by Riff
Comicbooks aren’t for kids any more it seems. Hell some of them aren’t for grown-ups either.
