You know, I never really liked Orbital. Back when I started college, a kid named Adam lived across the hall from me in the dorm, and he had a few Orbital albums. I borrowed them a few times, but never really understood the fascination with them.
So now, some ten years later, Orbital (known as Phil and Paul Hartnoll) releases what is to be their final album ever. Titled Blue Album, this is their bow out of Orbital. And of course it would take their final album to make me realize that I kind of like them.

Still in the early stages of its run, Spider-Man by Mark Millar and Terry and Rachel Dodson is shaping up to be one of the best Spider-Man stories of the past few years. Someone has kidnapped Aunt May, and Spider-Man has to find out why. And who. And where.
Millar seems to be able to breathe life into about any old, tired property he touches, finding the core of what made the character cool to begin with, and then expanding on it with kick-ass action sequences, witty dialogue, and plot twists out the yin-yang. Of course, this book is no exception.
