“We two have run about the slopes, and picked the daisies fine ; But we’ve wandered many a weary foot, since auld lang syne.” But now we’re back to review Asterios Polyp by David Mazuchelli, Mini Marvels: Secret Invasion by Chris Giarrusso, Scott Pilgrim by Bryan Lee O Malley, Manga Sutra Volume 1 by Katsu Aki and Wheel Spinning Hamster Dead Volume 1 by Alan Maloney.

We also review the animated fantasy film 9 as well as a round up of the latest comic news from Stephen Thompson announcing his own graphic novel ‘Near Death’ to why Spiderman 4 being cancelled is good news for Thor fans.

So the Comic Cast is one year older but are we any wiser? Probably not, but with continued access to a microphone in a remote location in Kildare this week we review Nicholas Gurewitch’s The Perry Bible Fellowship Almanack, Neil Gaiman’s Whatever Happened to the Caped Crusader? Alan Moore’s Whatever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow? Mark Schultz’s Superman and Batman vs. Aliens and Predator, Peter Milligan’s Sub-Mariner: The Depths and Greg Pak’s Magneto: Testament. Not to mention a quartet of new Irish comics including Ronan Kennedy’s What is it? David Withers’ Chaingun Chimp #1, Daragh McLoughney’s Anarchy: Seek and Destroy and Alan Nolan’s Dubcity Comics: At Hells Gate. So what ever did happen to the Comic Cast? Nothing, you silly billy. We’re right here!
