303 is a soldiers tale, a tale of a mission got right or wrong depends of your point of view. Writer Garth Ennis teams up with artist Jacen Burrows to create this vision of revenge or is it justice? My favourite part is Garth's imagining of "Sam Wallace", an ex-soldier, sheriff and natural all American hero and his death is one of relief that he lets come without a fight. 303 is a great story with plenty of heart.

Graphic Novels : Zombie
Zombie is part of the Marvel MAX range of comics, designed to be for the mature audience, but I actually think all comics are becoming more mature due to their mainstream arrival. Anyway, Zombie, beautifully crafted, well written and 100% zombie goodness. It does what every good Zombie story should, it is about surviving with a bunch of deranged self centred other surviours. It can be a little hard to find online due to its generic title, so here is its ISBN 0-7851-1913-2.

Graphic Novels : Chronicles of Wormwood
What can I say about this graphic novel, its so wrong, it is right. Writer Garth Ennis manages to offend and tackle the difficult subject of religion. Garth's approach is to use well know religious figures like the Pope, Jesus, Satan, God and the Anti-Christ to do what I can only describe as carpet bombing all religion into the ground. I can only say this novel is a masterpiece and I have only respect for Garth's disrespect. To finish, I'll quote Warren Ellis another great writer, "Garth Ennis is a filthy criminal git who should have been sterilized years ago."
Left 4 Dead 2 : Boycott?
I have been reading on the 'net about gamers asking other gamers to boycott "Left 4 Dead 2" because Valve have decided not to expand the original "Left 4 Dead", well apart from a couple of DLCs for the XBOX 360 and PC. I only have one question for these gamers, why is it ok to let Activision, Infinity Ward and Treyarch produce a new version of Call of Duty every year and when Valve want to do the same thing, it is wrong?
Give Valve a break, don't boycott, but support the development of new games by giving Valve the same respect as other developers.

General : Elephant Hawk Caterpillar
Me, myself nor my family had ever seen one of these giant caterpillars before so I thought I would post a picture or two.
