Reading: Biomega by Tsutomu Nihei, the story of an artificial human and his sentient motorbike fighting a seemingly unending battle against a horde of biomechanical Zombies along with a sniper rifle toting Grizzly Bear, the storyline deviates wildly around volume 4 but manages to tie everything up before the end of the final volume. Animal Man by Jeff Lemire and Travel Foreman, one of only two stories from the recent DC Comics relaunch I'd recommend when the Paperback is released in May 2012, although the artwork is somewhat distracting when it looks as though it's been inked with a Biro. Rachel Rising by Terry Moore which is so well written, paced and illustrated I recommend that everyone reads it!

Watching: Natsume Yujincho, with the firts three seasons already available on Crunchyroll and the fourth to begin in the New Year (and soon to be released by NIS) it's the story of a boy who can see Yokai who makes friends with the Yokai lord Madara a giant white Lupin creature invisible to regular people until he transforms into a cuddly Cat called Nyanko Sensei. Tiger & Bunny, which was briefly available on Anime on Demand, the show features super powered heroes that fight crime as part of a game show. Fringe, with the entire series premise turned on its head at the conclusion of the last series, the show manages to remain fresh, although it wasn't until the third episode of the current series that I learned that it had returned.

Playing: Bayonetta, I only just got my copy a few months ago and it took only a few hours to get through, but it's easily the most interesting aigame I've played this year. Pokemon White, I've received copies of most of the recent generation of games (mainly because they 're released around my Birthday) but I haven't managed to catch all the available pokemon, mainly due to the evolution stones needed being particularly scarce. The Legend of Zelda: The Skyward Sword
which I'm just about two thirds the way through, just need to get the last two flames to temper the sword, find enough gratitude crystals and all the Goddess Cubes etc.
