Remember Grant Morrison? He's back with a new series called The Exaggerator and its about Bob Thomas, a mild mannered house husband with a fetish with girls dressed as snails, who is given the belief that he has an incredible superpower, when in fact all he can do is lie very well. Over the space of a few months he exaggerates himself into a major force amongst heroes and before long he's on the front pages of all the major metalworking magazines.
But deep down in a big hole near Romsey in Hampshire lives the Utter Bastardator, the Exaggerator's biggest threat and when all the powers of the unknown are unleashed upon the world, all the heroes rush to try and stop it, but keep getting knocked back by the serpent thing. Finally, knowing only the Exaggerator is capable of stopping Utter Bastardator, they go to him for help, but he chickens out and hides in an abandoned fridge on some waste ground and dies.
Carnival of Grebes

Illicit Tongues
There is a strong possibility I've been getting someones name wrong for the last 11 years.

We all know that comics about vegetables rarely work. Back in the 80s Flaming Carrot was the only comic that was aimed at a specifically vegetarian end of the market and it was successful until a slurry of cash ins arrived in the 90s. The Amazing Turnip, Culpable Orange, Lettuce Leaf: Angel of Justice, Kohl Rabbi - the Kosher Root, and who could forget Runner Bean and Squash? All of them not fit to line a compost bin. But now it seems veg is in again all thanks to the triumvirate of Brians - Pulido, Talbot and Gillespie!

Protracted Womb
It's been 37 years since 1973 and that's a long time if you're actually younger than 37. But few people remember that it was in 1973 or thereabouts that Jack Kirby created some of his most mediocre DC work. To commemorate this, DC is assembling the largest number of dolphins it can muster who are going to spell out the words KING in the middle of the Adriatic Sea. Rumour has it that Steve Ditko is training the dolphins, secretly, in an undersea base, to spell out the word CUNT.
Iron Maiden
Chris Claremont has assured fans that despite him growing to look more and more like a bearded sir John Gielgud, he isn't about to lower his trousers and take a sausage roll up the winking star of David. In fact, Claremont is back with a new series about rabid frogs and pre-pubescent starlings, but is having problems getting anyone to buy the 270 part series for fear that his new look might mean he has AIDS or something else just as deadly.
A Corpse by any Other Name
A university in Illinois is producing a comicbook entirely out of human ... how do you put this? It's not waste... out of human product.
The ink for the entire print run will be made from blood, sweat, faeces, urine, semen, sperm, menstrual blood, vaginal discharge, ear wax, phlegm, saliva, milk, tears, smegma, female ejaculate and creme de menthe. We have no other details at the moment apart from the secret ones.
Torpid Beluga
Image, suffering from being derivative and stereotypical, are launching a new series of comics designed to appeal to the more perverted amongst comics fans. Nothing new there! I hear you all cry, en masse. But, NO, this is different said the latest schmuck to rent the PR man's chair this week. "These are gonna be different; not only will there be gratuitous sex, violence and humiliation, but it's all in 3D," he announced at a massive press conference to a stunned into silence press. "We're going to have the most life like drawings Image has ever mustered; we're going to have shots of pussy from every conceivable angle and more cocks going off than a gay man can luncheon on." When asked if the company had ever heard of Eros Comix, the man, now fidgeting and playing pocket billiards said, "Damn you. Damn you all to hell!" and ran off into them kitchens while being chased by a pack of wild dingoes.
The Ascent of Lamb
Someone once said after the 37th cancellation of Aquaman, that it made perfect sense, because just how much crime is committed underwater? Well, writer Dan DiDio thinks he's come up with a plan to beat the jinx!
"We're going to have Arthur carrying around this big tub of water and whenever he runs into people doing bad things he's going to drag them in it, beat them up and then drown them. He's also going to be spending a lot of time in a place called Manchester in England, because that has a lot of rain and ship canals. Basically Aquaman is going to be your - you got water? you got crime? You got me! kinda hero."
When asked whether he felt the new concept made any sense and more importantly how would DC feel about Aquaman turning into a murderous fish tank driver, he said that DC hadn't given him the okay to do the series, so he was doing it at Marvel instead and everyone knew that DC were chickenshit scared of Marvel, so no one is going to complain."
Comics commentator Cliff Biggers says he thinks the new series will have some appeal but like so many other Aquaman series it's destined to fail. However, DiDio has a plan to prevent that from happening, "Marvel said I can do whatever I want with Arthur so if sales drop then I've got a plan to introduce Nick Fury, Dr Strange, Wonder Woman and Ka-Zar into the series and create a new superhero team called the Zatanna 5." He cackled, no one else saw the joke.
Screwdriver Plus
Three new eco-comics are out next month from Marvel. X-Men: Polyurethane pits the mutants against a mountain of old plastic bin bags that have been taken over by the pissed off spirit of the Earth, who then hands the mutants their arses on a plate. This is followed by Luke Cage: Power Cut, a moral tale about a hero who can't get anyone to buy his services in a time of crisis, because of the recession and global warming. The series concludes with Pussy Shots of Female Marvel Heroes in a bid to make sure all three sell well. Gay readers will be offered an alternative.
Strung Vest
Captain America's 11 inch cock is the talk of the town at the moment. Steve Rogers has been seen whipping his whopper out whenever anyone asks him and local police have been concerned about the affect on young children. Sheriff Larry Holmes said, "I would have thought he have thought of the children." Holmes was later seen having his photo taken while holding Rogers' cock like it was some foreign snake.
Bolivian Ankle Prowess
It is said that comics are a medium that allows you to break any taboo; to portray any act of indecency you can imagine and get away with it for the sake of art. Well, Arthur Adams is attempting to do just that with his new one-shot Arthur Adams' World of Uncannily Unusual and Strangely Obscene Creatures Performing Acts Never Imagined by the Most Perverted of Diseased Minds, Volume 1. In a bizarre twist, Adams broke into the printer's on the night it was going to print and changed the sticker from 18s only to all ages and added four noughts onto the print run. When asked why he just laughed like a girl and mumbled something about asking Joyce.
