RL remains all-consuming. V. jealous of my mother, who is traipsing around London with my aunt even as we speak (Londoners, if you run into two eccentric Indian lady travellers, say hi, and tell them I asked them to buy me something nice behave themselves. If they get into trouble, please call my cousin who is currently in-charge of their well-being). No one gives me a fifteen day holiday, humph.

Verdict on DCnU so far:

JLA #1: B-
Stormwatch #1: A (basically what GJohns hoped JLA #1 would be)
Action Comics #1: A
Batgirl #1: A-

People keep recommending Animal Man, but I have no interest in that title as of now. I'm looking forward to Batwoman this week! \0/

Speaking of Batgirl #1, ( spoilers )

If Black Canary doesn't show up in this title sometime soon, I'm going to be very, very disappointed.

I am also reading Basara, a manga written by Yumi Tamura set in a post-apocalyptic Japan, featuring a young heroine who dresses up as her twin brother to FULFILL A PROPHECY and SAVE THE WORLD. Oh, and she has a SHINY SWORD. You can see why this is relevant to my interests. I'm only up to chapter four so far, but I will keep you all updated.
