no, SERIOUSLY, where did all the posts go?: ncrl for 12.5 & 12.12

So life as it were, is kicking me in the ass: keeping me busy and keeping me from my comics. Okay, as I said before, it's not entirely keeping me from my comics, as I have juuust enough time to READ them, just not to yap about them here. As I also said last time, I'm leaving for almost a month for the holidays so this site will pretty much be going dead from December 21st until sometime near the end of January, but we'll cross that bridge when we come to it.

The film I am working on wraps this Friday, so I expect to have some time next week to have a couple of posts musing about the year that was. 2007. At the very least, my Top Ten titles of the year and what not.

Here is what I have been getting, even if I haven't been talking about it.

where oh where did all the posts go?: ncrl for 11.29

Not that I ever posted that much to begin with, but I'm still recovering from my 30 book-Thanksgiving week. I hope to talk a little about those books AND last weeks (see below) soon. This could be an odd end of the year run for me, as Christmas is coming, and another vacation as well. Meaning that I will be going dark from around December 20th into mid-January. Still, I live for lists, and I hope to get some End of Year goodness up before I leave. Those should be coming soon.

Anyway, here is what I picked up on the 29th:
