Comics Wrap-Up - The Stars Are Blazing Like Rebel Diamonds

It's that time of year where loads of superhero-type trailers etc. are released due to the nerd convention that is San Diego Comic-Con (SDCC).

So, since I've never stepped foot in the USA, I, like plenty of other nerds around the world, have been using the interwebs to keep up with the latest comics-related happenings.

This week's comics wrap-up is my highlights - in no way could I possibly cover all of the stuff being revealed, released, and generally yammered about, in the world of panels and capes right now!

So, this is the stuff that caught my eye. Enjoy!

Comics Wrap-Up - Got a Rock and Roll Life

It's comics time again! Woop! XD

Let's look at all the nice comics-y goodness!


(I struggle with intros - can you tell? 😅)

2018 Fanfiction Reading Challenge Update #2

This is a challenge set by Caro @ Cat on the Bookshelf, and you can find out more about the rules etc. in my sign-up post.

This quarter I read 96 fic-chapters.

Combined with last quarter's 63, that's 159 fic-chapters. (I hope. That's what the calculator said anyway.)

Comics Wrap-Up - We've Gone Way Too Fast For Way Too Long

It's Thursday, it's time for the comics-y stuff! XD

Micropoetry - June 2018

Only two pieces of Micropoetry for you this month! 

I hope you like them, all the same! 😊



(For those using screen-readers, the alt-text contains the poetry with / marks showing line-breaks.)

Comics Wrap-Up - Always Here, Always on Time, Close Call

OK, a short, fun, wrap-up for you this week - cos it's all in the 'Other Stuff' category! (As always, I blame Loki.)

Month in Review(s) - June 2018

June was stressful...  but just about OK. Some of it was even awesome.

Comics Wrap-Up - Open the Door Don't Let It Sting

It's too hot here in the UK - let's check out some cool comics! 😎 

(See what I did there?)

Comics Wrap-Up - Lift Your Head Towards The Air

OK, I'm having a stressful week, so why don't we get us some comics-y goodness to cheer me up? 😉

Comics Wrap-Up - GIRLS LOVE GIRLS AND BOYYYYSS!!!!!!!!

It's June. It's Pride Month. Let's bring on the gay comics links!

Micropoetry - May 2018

It seems we still have some May stuff to finish off my darling nerdlets!

So, I have some more Micropoetry for you! Like last month, I've made up some graphic-y image-y things for two of them.

No promises for the future - this is totally a 'when I feel like it/when I have time' thing, but I hope you like the graphics anyway!

If you're using a screen reader, the poems with graphics have the poetry itself as the alt text, with / marks showing the line breaks.

Comics Wrap-Up - Where Insects Hide

Ooooo-kay! Let's take a look at the comics-y stuff I have for you this week! (Buckle up, my nerdlets!)

Month In Review(s) - May 2018

May. May was hectic.


Some good stuff happened. Some not-good stuff happened.

Such is life I suppose!

Friday Fics Fix - Harry and Draco and a Fic I Love For Reasons Unknown

'They began to acknowledge one another in the halls, not in a way that anybody else took any degree of notice to, but as their silence slowly became louder to one another they spoke in hushed whispers in empty corridors and alcoves and in the back of the library.'

I don't know why I like this week's fic.

There's just... something about this fic. I don't know why.

There's not much of a plot. The prose is over-dramatic and over-flowery in places. And I have no idea what's going on with the characterisation.

Sorry, that's not much of a ringing endorsement is it?

Maybe I'm not explaining it right. Cos this fic totally rocks.

Why? Well, because... because... I have no f**king clue. It's somehow amazing though.

Comics Wrap-Up - All We Need Is Some Ice-Cream and a Hug

Fun, frolics, and superheroes - let's get down to this week's comics wrap-up:

Comics Wrap-Up - But I'm Not The Only One

An awesome mix of stuff for you this week!  Check it out:

Micropoetry - April 2018

Yes, it's halfway through the month before I'm doing last month's Micropoetry round-up-type-thing, but I have an excuse this time!

Due to my laptop breaking on the last day of April, I got a bit behind on post-writing (and let's face it, I was hardly Ms Punctual to begin with!)

So here we are in the middle of May, looking at April's Micropoetry!

I've done something a little different this month - some of my Micro-poems are in a graphics-type format.

I'm not sure whether this is something I'm going to carry on with, or even if I'll have time to do it again for other months, but I thought I'd give it a shot!

The poems are in the alt-text of the images, with / symbols showing the line breaks, for anyone using a screen-reader. 😊

Month in Review(s) - April 2018

April... ha, so, what's May lookin' like? 😅

April happened. I lived through it *starts singing I'm still standing by Elton John and doing an incredibly embarrassing dance.*

My grandmother is still in hospital - she went in at the beginning of March - but she's definitely improving. We're basically waiting for a social care package in place so that she can go home, because there's no way my 88-year-old grandfather can take care of her.

And on the last day of April my laptop - which had been hanging on on a wing and a prayer, granted - gave up the ghost.







On the plus side, I reached over 3k Twitter followers in April! I love you guys, really! XD

Comics Wrap-Up - I'll Stop Wearing Black When They Make a Darker Colour

Tomorrow is Avengers: Infinity War release day!!!!!!!!!!!! 

(Also, I know I've said this a lot, but MAN they need to not f**k this up!!!! Seriously Marvel.)

And say no to spoilers! (Espec. people who have managed to see previews!!!!)

Comics Wrap-Up - Lives Become Incredible Now

A mixed selection of superhero goodies for you this week my nerdlets!
