i have been reading Neverwhere on the tube. it seems somehow appropriate. but what i really want to do is read the bits set in abandoned tube stations at those abandoned tube stations :)

didn't know it existed. why - what happened?

Vertigo were publishing it, and Neil Gaiman was apparently involved in an advisory capacity (which sounds fairly minimal to me) and it got to issue 6 (dated March 2006) and then it just stopped showing up in the local comicbook stores. as i was still in two minds about whether to keep collecting it or not this merely made up my mind, though if it ever resurfaces I may give it a chance.
i tend to have a death wish for comicbook series'. whatever i start collecting generally gets cancelled. :(

ah. apparently is due for a release as a trade paperback in October, though there are other things around then that i'd want before it (in particular, the Black Dossier, volume 2.5 of LoEG. woo!)

I seem to have started buying Neil Gaiman's Eternals miniseries/reboot, my first actual comic books, and also the first anything I've bought which is set in either of the main DC or Marvel universes. Is shocking! I don't like picking up series halfway through, so maybe I just want to find a copy of Giant-Sized X-Men #1 and start from there.
