Garth Ennis' Dan Dare Omnibus is firstly, a fantastic tribute to Frank Hampson and Garth at his best. Dan Dare is pure of heart and British to the core, within the pages of this comic, I found bravery and honour plus a rip roaring story as Dan faces his greatest enemy in his twilight years.

General : What happened to April 2011?
I managed not to post a single blog. I don't know how that happened? I guess life got in the way.

Graphic Novels : The Authority, Kev
Kev Hawkins is probably the unluckiest or luckiest ex-SAS/Assassin that you could ever meet, depending on how you look at things. I guess, he isn't dead yet and he is a very effective killer, but calling the Midnighter and Apollo, a couple of phoofs wasn't the smartest move. The Authority, Kev is combination of Kev and More Kev, both stories are deliciously wicked with Kev homophobia balanced by the Midnighter's straight talking and equally nasty humour.

Exmerge 3.7.1.0 : Runtime Library Error
When I tired to find a solution to this issue on the 'net, I couldn't find one. So, as I resolved it myself, I thought I would share.
Issue;
Exmerge from Microsoft Exchange 5.5 into PST to reimport into Exchange 2007. Exmerge starts to overrun, mailboxes taking to long to complete. Technician stops program via Task Manager on restart of the Exmerge, the following message is displayed;
The mailbox of the User exceeds the 2gb limit of older PST format, thus it overruns, but as part of the process Exmerge creates an exmerge.log in the root of C:\, terminating the process via Task Manager prevents Exmerge from deleting exmerge.log and that is why it faults.
Solution;
Delete exmerge.log from root of C:\ and try again. Remember to split the User larger mailbox into say Sent Items and Inbox.

Graphic Novels : Marvel Zombies Return
I think Marvel missed a word out of the title, I believe it should be the "Marvel Zombies Triumphantly Return". The return of these vile zombie heroes is truly excellent as zombie Spider-Man is throw back into his swing sixties complete with art styling to match, we witness a different start to World War Hulk, Tony Stark's alcoholism and a brand New Avengers Team.
Graphic Novels : Ocean
Warren Ellis, Ocean should be a movie. I am not sure why it isn't, maybe the evil Doors Corporation with its operating system that blue screens devices was a little too close to truth to be a viable movie. If Ocean was a movie, I suspect Mr Samuel Jackson would have to play the UN Weapons Inspector Nathan Kane. Nathan is nothing but cool, calm and collected through-out the entire saga. Ocean has all the elements for great science fiction, a big bad, a remote space station, a secret that should remain buried and a race against the clock.
Graphic Novels : Superman Earth One
Yet another reboot, but it's not. Superman Earth One is the ultimate emo hero for our generation from the beginning I knew this re-imagining was going to be different. He is Superman, but he isn't 6'5" nor is he built like an American Football Player. He can do anything, he is smart, he is quick, he is strong, but is the Man of Steel ready to become the hero that his adopted parents Jonathan and Martha want him to be? It is the gentle touches and quiet changes to the legend that makes J. Michael Straczynski's version of this Superman, so very readable and its the changes that held my attention for every memorable panel.
