What I will be writing about

So, I haven't written about anything since last Wednesday, when I restarted my blog. That's partly due to not being in the habit of writing blog posts, and partly because I was ill at the weekend. So this post will be a quick summary of what I've been doing for the last 6 days, and the kind of things from that period I would have ideally liked to write about!

First, comics. I read the rest of my purchases from last Wednesday. A couple of Vertigo books, 2 Marvel Star Wars books, and a bunch from Image, IDW, Valiant and other publishers. Ideally, I would like to do a DC comics post each week, as well as either a "non-DC" post, or smaller posts per publisher - depending on whether there's much to talk about!
Since last week, I bought and read the whole of Watchmen, after missing most of the references in DC Rebirth! That kind of thing is definitely something I would like to write about - reading the whole of a classic series. Although, that's not likely to be very common. In the last year or so, I finished reading the whole of the Valiant backlog, and the Mignolaverse backlog, and I'm already caught up with DC, and all of the non-DC comics I read, so it's unlikely I'd be reading many backlog comics - until I get round to my grand plan to read as many older DC books as I can! Something which has been on the back burner for about 5 years...

On a related note - manga. I'd ideally like to put a post up each week about that week's Weekly Shonen Jump issue. I read all the series in there except Yu-Gi-Oh, with varying levels of interest. I'm also reading a couple of Crunchyroll Manga series, reading a few series by slowly buying the volumes, and reading a few series as the volumes come out in english. I'd ideally like to do regular posts about a bunch of that stuff!

TV shows, including anime. In the last couple of years, I've had phases of watching a bunch of anime shows each season, but I think I've pretty much settled into just watching a few which get highly upvoted on reddit. It's also just after the end of the US TV season, so that's also very dry. I'll probably only write about a handful of TV shows, rather than writing about everything I watch.

Movies. I bought an unlimited cinema card, to incentivise me to go to the cinema more! In the last few months I've been to see Batman v Superman and Captain America Civil War. Tonight I'm going to see Warcraft, and tomorrow night I'm going to see X-Men Apocalypse... after watching the entire 8 film franchise over the past week and a half - most of them for the first time! I'll try to see more films at the cinema, and to write a post about most of them!

Games. Most of my posts on this blog in the past were about WoW. I'll probably post semi-regular posts about games I'm playing, and either enjoying or not. But it's a difficult medium to write big posts about!

That should give you an idea of what I'll be writing about. If I can avoid being too tired and lazy, I should have a Warcraft post up tonight or tomorrow!
