I'm very tempted to give up on dc alltogether at moment

Batman used to be my character. As mentioned before I had a pretty much complete 30 year run but ever since the whole death and return thing they really have messed him up. The best thing in years was the new batman and robin and look how long lasted.  The only decent thing to come along in years is Damien, and, well less said about that the better !

The owl saga was slightly interesting but the latest joker arc I found dull, drawn out and ultimately it never really went anywhere, other than placing the bat family in a place that it has been in before and returned from

The new 52 really has buggered up the dc universe IMHO.

some nice stuff there, well done on the batman inc variant. i didn't even see one of those on wednesday.

What the villain print details? looks like there is another hero half maybe starting with thor. I used to have the Alex Ross villain/hero prints but I think they got damaged in a move one time.

In regards to Batman, I don't mind the new 52 on the whole but it has messed up Batman's timeline and therefore his stories since Crisis on Infinite Worlds.  All his past happened before JL 1 but within 5 years but he had some realtime year long events like No Mans Land, Yr1, Yr2, Yr3 when he first meet Dick. I've no idea know what has happened/when and what hasn't happened.

Having said that the stories can still be read at the moment for what they are, a good read on the whole but I was disappointed with the end of Death of the Family as I sure they will all be eating xmas together later this year having made up and don't worry Damian isn't as dead as thomas/martha or uncle ben imo.

Just got back from the sf weekender which was a bit poor on the comic/book side of it compared to previous years but I did meet and have a long chat with Glen Fabry.  He has a great list of comics inc Slaine,2000AD, Preacher, Lobo, Dredd/Batman and others.  

He was selling sketch books which were very nice so I got one and he signed a bunch of my stuff.  Most of my older comics are still in storage and when I popped there the other had no chance to find most inc Just a Pilgram and Man named Kev and my Bats/Dredd or Lobo.  Still he did me a picture in my DC 85 years book and told me some stories about Ennis, Dillion, Alex Ross and others as he is good friends with all them, I gave him my card and said he was welcome to a beer if ever in Manchester.

He hates Kevin Smith by the way as he never got past issue 1 of DD:target as he went of to help Affleck in the movie and never returned to Marvel for ages.  It was the number 2 seller that year and he said if he finished it and done a trade it probably would have bought him a house by now.  Still he was a nice guy and has done some great pieces. I'll post some from inside his book later.

There is a file size limit but I think it is for each one seperatly, quite often ones I take at full rez on my phone are to high by default. 2 ways round it, take a lower rez pic on your camera (drop the megapixels in the settings) or install a microsoft powertool called picture resizer (xp,7,8). It gives you a right click option to resize 1 or more photos to any size and makes a copy by default. I do this and pick 640 x480 and upload them and never seem to have an issue and they upload megafast.

Hope that helps. Nice weeks shop by the way.
