I'll be in London next month.
You guys really say "fag" for cigarrette?
I've watched enough Monty Python and Naked Chef, I think I know most of the lingo.
: 'Quiver 1 - The Queen is Dead (Long Live the Queen)', that is (natch).
: in fact, it's the first comic i've bought. nice to know, eh?
: yes, i liked it muchly. it looks good, it's written well, and it looks like this story could be a good one. there are a lot of references to previous stories and stuff which i don't really know about, but that didn't stop me enjoying the book.
: i liked the pacing,
: the setting of the scene for Ollie's return with various characters talking about him,
: the mixture of action moments with thoughtful reminiscences,
: the mixture of serious stuff with little jokes,
: and, of course, the artwork is fantastic too.
: it's also nice to read the adverts for American confectionary that we don't have over here in England. and the anti-cigarette and anti-drug messages were kinda interesting...
: i'd prefer a lack of adverts in the middle of a story, but i get that they're there and that's that.
: but i digress.
: Kevin, sir, i like the book and am anticipating the next issue with some excitement. not too much, but a good amount, i feel. and the nice wee (well, not so wee) message to the readers at the end of the book was cool to read. good stuff.
: so, a guy who hasn't bought a comic before (although i've got four others that my dad bought in America years ago as a present) has bought a comic.
: the first of many?
