Well look what the wind dragged in!
I have been gone for a week! No updates, no anything! I apologise for this and I plan to make amends after I have finished writing this line, any minute now...yep...here we go...spacial relationships...
Time Away.
When I push myself to post things on as tight as schedule as I do, I sometimes find everything thrown entirely out of whack when that little thing called life decides to mess with me. Due to one reason or another, I have been absent for what feels like forever, even though it's not that long.
Just bear that in mind when I appear to vanish.
Thursday's Comics.
Thursday's Comics has been remarkably bare lately, you see. Last week there were three comics and this week there's just one. I don't feel it's warranted to do an entire post for that. So, what I'll do is just combine the two I would've reviewed last week, and the one that came out this week, all in a little catch-up post. In all fairness, you didn't miss much. Secret Avengers #5 wasn't brilliant, The Avengers #5 was good, but not good enough to warrant me dropping life's calling to come review it, and Avengers Academy #4 was fucking great, but not hugely revelatory.
Now, regarding The Mast's 30 Days of Comicdom. The remaining questions were getting kind of poor and I decided to ditch it, simply because I'd rather abandon it than force myself to churn out half-assed updates every day. I'm very glad you all seemed to enjoy the stuff that WAS posted, though.
Some Exciting News.
If you recall, I've had some teasers suggesting I'd have some very exciting news soon. I now have it!
Firstly, Mr. Ryan K. Lindsay of Weekly Crisis had personally requested I do a guest post on the rather huge comic book news/review website he partakes in. Of course, I accepted!
It's currently being processed/reviewed/edited I guess, so the final product may or may not be an exact replica of what I wrote, but I doubt they'd warp it. As soon as it's up, IF they post it, I will let you all know. It's a rather weighty post about Daredevil and his current state of flux, which I have called The State of Hell's Kitchen Address.
MEANWHILE, IN THE NEXT PART OF THIS POST, I will give you the next bit of news.
Dan Abnett, Marvel's premier cosmic penman himself, has agreed to do an interview with me for this blog! It was going to be on Skype, but due to the time constraints of such a busy schedule, he requested that I email him questions instead. As soon as I've mailed those off to him, I will await his reply and post it here for y'all to see. I said y'all, deal with it.
---
I just wanted to come and let you all know I'm not dead and neither is the blog. It's just that a multitude of things crashed together and Welcome to the Mast took a spot on the backburner for a bit. It will almost definitely happen again, but whatever.
For those of you who've forgotten, you can still check out Direct Edition on YouTube. I will be returning next week alongside the ever-dashing Mr. Chris Starks and the Luke Cage lookalike/host, Iyare.
I'll do my level best to either catch up on the past two weeks/three comics worth of my reading list, but if not, TRUST me when I say NEXT week's will be worth reading.
Until next time, peace.
