GR deleted my 2016 review of Margaret Atwood’s terrible comic Angel Catbird Vol 1 for “violating community guidelines”. The only objectionable part of it that I can see is the use of the “R” word - and the fact that I have to use that term like that is so… lame. Anyway, I’m reposting it without that word because fuck censorship. But if you see my profile deleted from the site, know that it wasn’t my choice.

The New York Times released its list of the 100 Best Books of the 21st Century: https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2...

What's your number? (I've read 14) And who is this Elena Ferrante!? (she's the top spot) I might have to find out...

RIP Akira Toriyama - one of the greatest comics creators of all time.

Hey guys, Goodreads is having one of its periodical breakdowns in functionality so my reviews - along with everyone else's - aren't posting in my feed as normal. I'm sure the techs will fix this fuckup right quick (it's only been a few days so far) and I'll repost the reviews once they do, but if you want to see them sooner, click on the book's listing and the review is there in full. What a great site, eh?

Somebody is trying to ban me from GR(?!) for this review! Hap tip to Carol for the heads up - it made me laugh! Happy Thanksgiving, y'all! Know what I'm thankful for? Sensible people not taking nutters like this seriously!

Hey gang, I know I’ve been quiet lately – and I’ma be even quieter as I head off on my summer hols to Japan for the next two and a half weeks! I’ll be offline the entire time as usual and you’ll hear from me when I’m back if I’ve read any books in that time – take care, my dudes!

Happy 4th, American GR-ers!

What is going on my dudes, hope all’s good in your world! Just a quick note to let youse know why I'm gonna be quiet for a bit: I’m holidaying in Japan for the next 2 weeks and I’ma be offline the whole time. Look after yourselves while I’m gone and I’ll see you again when I’m back - sayonara!

alright, I'll fucking bite: WHY the hell do I suddenly have fucking HUNDREDS of new followers all of a sudden?? like in the last few days I've gained 1000 followers - WT to the F????? they're russian bots, aren't they...

Comics artist Steve Dillon died today. Best known for his many collaborations with Garth Ennis particularly their series Preacher, he was also the definitive Punisher artist to me. Always loved his work, so sad that he’s gone - 53 is too fucking young. 2016 strikes again - damn this year. RIP Steve Dillon, 1962-2016.

Congrats to Brubaker/Phillips, Jason Aaron, Noelle Stevenson, Dan Mora, Adrian Tomine, Kate Beaton, and all the other 2016 Eisner Awards winners - some great creators/comics won this year! http://www.bleedingcool.com/2016/07/2...

Woohoo, Vader confirmed for Rogue One!

Happy Fourth, ‘Murican Goodreaders!

Happy Canada Day, Buddehs!

Happy National Donut Day, everyone - stuff your faces!

Fuuucking hell, are you kidding me? Darwyn Cooke died today. RIP sir, thank you for the comics.

Darwyn Cooke, 1962-2016

Tomorrow is Free Comic Book Day 2016, yaaayyy! Check out the official site to see if your local comics shop is doing some fun stuff tomorrow and if you’re able, when you pick up your free shit, chuck them a few shekels on some non-free comics too to say thanks and keep those doors open for another year! http://www.freecomicbookday.com/Home/...

Just got back from Captain America: Civil War - WOW. THE BEST MCU movie yet! THAT'S how you make a superhero conflict movie DC!

2016 Eisner nominees announced! Glad to see some awesome comics talent on the list like Adrian Tomine, G. Willow Wilson, Noah van Sciver and Jason Aaron getting acknowledged (couple Marvel titles snuck in but no DC titles on the list unless you count the one for a Tom King Vertigo short story): http://io9.gizmodo.com/here-are-your-...

RIP Harper Lee - millions of readers thank you for the words.

Gotten a lotta friends requests from bots in the last 24 hours, guess even robuts feel lonely on Valentines!

RIP Hunger for Knowledge - looks like her profile's been deleted!

Merry Christmas, Goodreaders! Here's hoping you get the books you want tomorrow and the quality reading time to enjoy them!
