Graphic Novels : Jack Staff, volume 1 to 3

Jack Staff is Paul Grist take on a British Superhero and Jack Staff is definitely a Brit.



Paul Grist calls on all elements of what is British from songs by Slade to household names like Tesco, Dad's Army and Steptoe & Son. I was half surprised not to see Sid James at some point.



Jack Staff is a truly enjoyable romp. One of my favourite touches is that Jack Staff alter-ego is John Smith builder, which leads onto the joke about builders actual working hours, ie; if they are all superheroes that explains turning up at 10am to have a tea break at 11am until 3pm then disappearing at 4 pm again.



If I have one criticism it is that the comic did jump around a little too much, otherwise not at gritty as I use too but lots of fun.

XBOX 360 : Sensible World of Soccer International Cup Victory Glitch!

Ok, so you are playing career mode quite happily. You finally get a top job and guide your team to victory in the International Cup (World Cup) then you play a couple of friendlies and try to start the next season. The game hangs, you try again and it hangs again! Guess what, there is bug and I think the general comment is nobody is going to fix it! My advice is don't win the International Cup, which is a Shame!

Graphic Novels : The Boys, Herogasm

Garth Ennis does it again, The Boys, Herogasm is disgustingly magnificent pile of putrid muck that I could not put down. Herogasm is actually a spin-off from the current The Boys and it follows the superheroes during a little down time and anything goes for these good-for-nothing wastes of space. Be prepared to laugh until your sides hurt!

Graphic Novels : Marvel 1985

I started to read Marvel 1985, just before the New Year and I was not sure what to expect. I brought a copy mainly due to the writer Mark Millar, who is responsible for the Superman Red Son, alternate universe and I wonder if he could do the same at Marvel. True to form it was clever story and a great nod to the 80s, but I found it a little lacking.
