YELP

  I was told I had been reviewed positively on Yelp and here it is. 
The name of this shop is so apt.
Listen: I'm a comic book fan. Worse, I'm a comic book fan that reads comic book message boards. I flaunt my knowledge on online forums. I am a geek. I probably know more about the history of the X Men than I do about the history of this country. It's ok, you can judge me.
If you, like me, are a geek, then you will know what to expect from most comic book shops. Even decent sized bookshops have their own graphic novel section these days and you'll almost always get the same kind of stuff.
A bunch of essential era Marvel trades, some tie ins to whatever movie is out that week, some Lone Wolf and Cub, Cerebus, Sandman, Ghost World, Watchmen etc. All of it great for sure, but very rarely anything surprising.
You don't get that in Futureshock.
For a start, this is not a place of organisation. This is a stash, a grab bag. Piles of books and comics and VHS tapes litter every available space in the tiny shop. There's barely enough room to open the door.
Lost without the classic alphabetical listings, you're forced to just start digging, see what you can find in this chaos of fantasy. Pile after pile of obscure, random titles. You pick up a tatty old sci fi paperback with a cover that's half Mills & Boon, half H R Geiger and think my god what is THIS?
I love that. You'd be hard pressed to find something specific here, but go in with a sense of adventure and you might be rewarded.
  OK thiat is the best of the five - not everybody is so appreciative of vast quantities of stock in a small shop making it difficult to turn round
A little scary? yes. Not sure if you go you'll actually make it out again? a wee bit. Pretty jumbled and slightly chaotic inside? most definitely. Worth a visit....
but still friendly. Both FP & A1 get fairly favourable reviews, though I, perhaps biased, think mine have the edge. They certainly have the edge in saying giving mine a bit of individuality and range of stock, both of which please me.

Review of Scotland's Amazing Comic Book Heroes

Not impressed.

The problem with TV is that those running it think they are important and the subjects of their programmes merely background. The reverse is true. A well produced TV programme's structure should be unobtrusive, letting the subjects speak for themselves.

  Last night's programme was the opposite. It essentially consisted of soundbites, few if as long as 10 seconds, strung together with comic book pictures, cut into the smallest possible sections so that it would look like something Roy Lichtenstein had copied. Strung together as much as it had any connecting links, by somebody wearing improbable Clarke Kent's specs to look as geeky as possible.They should just have done straight interviews with the various creators. In half an hour they could have done 4 five minute interviews/speeches in which each could have shared some real opinions about their art or the business.

  I have said elsewhere why television would be an ideal vehicle for serious formal political debates  but that this would reduce the ability of the on screen talent" to feel self-important and that is exactly what was wrong with this programme.

  Also you could see how eager the BBC were to portray comics as Bang Thud as per the Batman TV series.  I suspect the Batman TV series, Clark Kent's specs and Roy Lichtenstein is all many Beeboids know of comics. Throughout the panels they chose to magnify and show were very "comic booky". We have in Glasgow one of the world's best artists, Frank Quitely, not only extremely popular but admired technically by other artists who see his remarkable economy of line. If they wanted to show what contemporary comic books look like (well look like at their best) while enhancing the Scottish connection that was the purpose of the programme, they could have used something beautiful like this for their panel shotsJLA Earth 2 trade paperback

ILLUSTRIOUS OMNIBUS OF SUPERPOWERS

  This is really cool if you are a superhero nerd like me

  I regret I do not have access to the T-Shirt but you can rollover and zoom in on it in, far to much, detail here. I must admit to never having heard of Bouncing Betty before [Power of the Body - Body Manipulation - Inflatable Bouncing Body][though they did miss out Big Bertha}. Where would the world be without superpowers like that?

Sixthly a non-commercial one. I have been running a poll here on my political blog. The objective is to see if there is a TV audience for regular political debates - not what Question Time mean by debate where 4 guests & the BBC compere gang up on 1 who dares to dispute, for example, global warming, but genuine formal debate where both sides get equall time & don'y get limited to 10 second soundbites. I am convinced that would be a popular political programme & that it would considerably enhance the standard of politics in Britain. I fear rhe BBC agree & that is why they don't do it. You can add your vote here

Seventhly there will be a comic mart at the QM Union on Saturday 26th Feb. from 11 o'clock. I will be there with a lot of older back issues.
