- Barry Allen and the Black Flash – an old post is getting some new attention
- *sigh* hit 2 stores before noon, no luck on the Flash:Rebirth variant. And this was the first one I actually wanted
- Flash: Rebirth 3 is proving a lot harder to review. With 1&2 I just started writing and looked up 2 hours later. This is like pulling teeth.
- This review at Collected Editions reminds me I’ve been meaning to read Supermarket
- Flash Forward (no relation) will have a panel at SDCC. Here’s hoping it’s not opposite Geoff Johns like last year’s Robert J Sawyer panel.
- Webring (remember them?) is branching into free webhosting, hoping to replace GeoCities as it closes.
- OK, think I’ve figured the quirks of the liveblogging tool. Disable cache, start early, figure updates might take 10-15min to catch up
- How did Mark Chiarello come up with the idea for Wednesday Comics? “I stole it from the 1930s.” (via @Robot6)

I like Brian Wood, but Supermarket is not one of his strongest works. It’s very generic and by the numbers and Wood’s usually solid characterisation skills don’t shine through at all. The art however is fantastic enough to justify a purchase. Supermarket is all about the eye candy.
For a Brian Wood book with more meat to it I’d recommend Local or Demo, which are both series of vignettes.
