(I don't quite know what that title has to do with anything, but it sounds ACE!)

A Rope Around Your Broken Neck is out, motherflippers! Out like a thing that is totally out! It's taken a while - I've been staring at it and re-reading the script for what seems like a lifetime - but it's here! I'm beginning to feel like I'm starting to know roughly what I'm doing. It'll be awesome as flip to be able to go to a convention with an extra comic to sell. At Birmingham last year, I felt a bit underprepared. Other people had t-shirts, competitions, artists to do awesome pictures, and badges. THIS TIME IT IS I WHO WILL HAVE THE BADGES! (I actually have badges!)

The absolute awesomeness of having a new comic out is slightly dampened by the thought that this is the first time in a year or so that I've not had a comic in production. There's nothing doing at the moment. There are a couple of scripts knocking about, though - one completed, one well on its way, and a whole drawer filled with messy notes for others - so it shouldn't be too long before the rusty, underfunded wheels of Attackosaur Comics begin turning once more! The bit where you find an artist for a new project is always the most awesome, I reckon. I've been lucky enough to work with some very kickass artists with wildly different styles so far. That first page you get with the first pictures of the stupid nonsense that's been hounding your brain for months and months and months is flippin' magic! I love seeing someone's version of a dude that has up until that point only existed in my warped, rotting brain. When the next one's up I'll be sure to pimp the hairy arse off it!

Laters!

Attackosaur Comics is attacking the Wales Comic Convention 2010 on April 25th! The ground assault begins at Glyndwr University. Home turf this time! Only 20-odd miles down the road! Woop! We'll be peddling copies of Paralysis and The Mutilated Dead and launching (if launching is the right word for a one-shot) A Rope Around Your Broken Neck! Info about the event - including tickets, guest stars, that kind of thing - can be found here! Gotta tell ya, I'm pretty excited to meet Johnny Bravo!

We're planning to invade the Bristol International Comic and Small Press Expo in May and hopefully return to the very awesome British International Comics Show in Birmingham in October. Might even pop up to Thought Bubble in Leeds in November if we do well! There's a busy year ahead for our favourite semi-robotic T-rex of superdinosaur size and strength!

Yes! That's right! We have a shop! It has 2 things in it! You can visit it here! Alternatively, click on the sexy shirt or bag below! Woop!

(Happy new year!) Well, my version of a top 10 anyway. If The Times are gonna do top 100s then, flip it, I'm allowed 10! By the by, don't read The Times's Top 100 Movies Ever list. They only have Jurassic Park at number 100. They've printed it the wrong way around. TECHNICAL FAIL! Anyway, in reverse order (to build some suspense!), here they are!

10/ THE HURT LOCKER

Jeremy Renner plays a headcase who defuses bombs. Sort of wanders about like most war movies, but only to awesome places. BONUS DAVID MORSE!

9/ A SERIOUS MAN

More Burn After Reading than No Country For Old Men. Has my favourite poster of the year - basically that picture but with writing on it!

8/ INGLOURIOUS BASTERDS

Best opening scene of the year, maybe decade!

7/ DRAG ME TO HELL

Vomit! Eyeballs! Anvils!

6/ CORALINE

Creepy button eyes! From the awesome director of The Nightmare Before Christmas (not Tim Burton)!

5/ ME AND ORSON WELLES

Richard Linklater's latest about a schoolkid who lands a job in Orson Welles's Mercury Theatre. The guys playing Orson Welles and Joseph Cotten are all kinds of brilliant!

4/ PARANORMAL ACTIVITY

Like The Blair Witch Project, but... well... in a house! Scary, awesome, indie film!

3/ MOON

If Sam Rockwell doesn't get an Oscar for this then, well, I won't do anything. It's not very likely. This movie isn't rubbish enough. It'll have to go to some A-lister with a facial prosthetic and a feigned disability.

2/ AVATAR

Eyeball sex. Dear God, man! Don't watch this for the first time on DVD!

1/ DISTRICT 9

2009 is flipping awesome for sci-fi! Actual sci-fi, too! Not just crappy cop thrillers disguised as sci-fi! The leading man looks and sounds a bit like Murray from Flight of the Conchords and he's a genius! Amazing aliens, too!
