All my reading plans went south yesterday but on the other hand, I finally figured out the name of a movie that I’ve been trying to remember for about the last year. On that basis, I would normally put yesterday in the ‘Win Column’ but the movie was ‘Swamp Shark’ and after watching it, I was kind of nonplussed to be honest. It wasn’t bad, just not as awesome as my memory had tricked me into thinking.

It’s ‘Conan’ though so it was always going to be read, eventually… And ‘eventually’ ended up being last night, in a ‘now or never’ kind of way ;o) The Savage Sword of Conan is back from Heroic Signatures and Titan Comics!
