Supanova makes an O face

Promotional booklets for the upcoming Supanova convention down by Wharf 8 in Sydney are out and about. Nothing like a buffet of those science fiction stars to make it a seminal swamp meet of their autographs and another mark in their convention hitting circuits.

Also out there is some weird tail hook added to the ad for the Comic Shop. Very odd Os appearing in the print. Certainly wasn't looking like that in the PDF sent through to their printers. Where they got fat during transit and printing remains, at present, a mystery untold.

Aftermath of the 11th annual

And so it ends for another year.

the Comic Shop 11th annual

Not more than one hour into the Comic Shop's 11th annual sale and with everything released that month not on sale, space was at a premium.

Thanks to all who came along and snapped up so much stuff on discount.

Shifting faces to different places

Fitting firmer in with the contextually fixed nature of directories, the collection of busts coming out of the ears has moved from the products.

Now, the heads and torsos, mainly without arms, featurea as a gallery. In addition to the move, all the photos have been cleared up and keeping it real.

Booyakasha!

Now with more shadow!

New photos have made their mark on the store gallery. Enjoy. Or don't. Either way, that's what the place looks like as of the time the photos were taken about a couple weeks back. Thanks to Jesus for the loan of the Casio. Now, to deliberate some more on a Cyber-shot.

Trudging through the debris

People with better things to do than go around clicking all over the place on sites that don't feature bare skin might not have noticed some new pages up. From what used to be under the banner of the store logo -- some concerns have been raised and Wolvie will be taken out -- is a reference to a beta version of the site map. One for the site, not one for the store.

A site map for the store might have merit if not for the fact that it's not the kind of place to get lost in. Unless, of course, navigation is a seriously problem like a hand ever glued to a bottle of Jack Daniels. Or whatever bourbon or whiskey of choice happens to drown the sorrows.

So now there's something of a running gallery on the action figures and another page on the Simpsons. Like as if walking into the store doesn't shout out as a Simpsons haven. Glorious? U Decide!

There was some slight trouble in figuring and remembering the names of a few head knockers and bobble heads. But that shouldn't be too much of a problem.

What could be is trying to discern some overall meaning and structure to the captions and comments on the photos. Don't. It's a lost cause. Seriously, it is.

Counterside Noise shoots trash talk, staff picks and anything else comics related and not so from the loins of the Comic Shop in Liverpool.

A place to pick up busts, statues, Simpsons toys, Transformers, T-shirts, action figures and anime as well as a place to find some storage and collecting needs.

Don't get ahead of yourself or you'll forget about the comics.

Speaking of which, wonder what's coming in this week?
