Alright, before I go on and start talking even more about this dreaded subject, I'd like to ask:

Who here is a comic book dork, or even dares to pick up the things?

Because we all know Tuesday is New Movie Release day and then Wednesday is New Comic Book Day... And there is no better day than a New Comic Book Day. Nope!

Oh, okay, so this is not common knowledge and I was too tired to do anything else like make my long, trecherous voyage to the other side of town after classes to go get my fix. Even people who pick up the graphic novel collections count. Something that is not anime or manga!

If it ain't Asian, post about it!

I've really been enjoying the fine stream of fresh comic book movies which has been released recently. However, I'll have to admit that I've really never had too many Western comics before. The only one I can truly say is mine is a "The New Avengers" comic I got for Christmas a year or two, which was a nice little present, although I'd have preferred a series I could relate to. Or, you know, didn't feature the She-Hulk.

I'd love to partake in more comics, but I really never grew up around them when I was a kid. You have to travel all the way to Florence or Myrtle Beach to find a place to buy them around here.

My favorite comic series might be... X Men? Just because X-Men Legends 2 was pretty sweet (or it would have been if my game would stop freezing), and they make tons of great MvC2 appearances. Optic Blast! I think Colossus is my favorite.
