Goob to see you back here! I am surprised you don't talk at all about football, though...

My comics cut-off point is above anything written by Mike Carey.

mike carey's ultimate fantastic four = light years ahead of the lucifer tpb of his i read - mind you, ff = a marvel gomic, so automatically better than a dc BY LAW

( - i saw an interview somewhere where he talked abt writing for fa & trident but i don't remember him )

arsenal: i bet we beat ac milan on weds

b.rovers: only one more round to get through & then you'll be going to wembley again...!

Yeah, he did, a bit. I'll try his UFF if I see it in a library or something like that. I'd like to like some of his work.

Milan haven't been great this year, so if you can find your best form again, I think you can take them.

It would be wonderful to get to Wembley, or just a semi-final. It's not our of the question that we could get a home draw against, say, Cardiff and win it; and if another quarter is something like Preston-Barnsley and we got the winner... I can't really picture us in an FA Cup Final, but it isn't completely beyond the realms of possibility. That might change after the draw, obviously.

carey's ult.ff = perfectly readable but by no means essential imo ( - pretty pictures by p.ferry too )

the fa's semi final gommitment: do you think they'll still use wembley for the semis even if one of 'em = ( for example ) b.rovers vs cardiff...? - i do hope so

I hope so! It would feel insulting otherwise. We took 40,000 to Wembley for the playoff final, and Cardiff have a big support, so it wouldn't be half-empty or anything like that.

I'll start thinking about that if we get a draw for the quarters that I can imagine us winning.

Lucifer started and ended brilliantly, but sagged horribly in the middle. Carey's finest hour, though = supernatural romcom My Faith In Frankie.

i read the first lucifer tpb but it really didn't appeal i'm afraid ( sub sub sub n.gaiman imo ) - my faith in frankie might be more up my street - did the mighty marc hempel draw some of it?

Covers and maybe inks, iirc.
