Back when X-Men was good!!

There's a secret cheese wheel?

Shhhhhhh!!!

Of course...but I can understand why you wouldn't know about it...it IS a secret...

I'm an admirer of comic-book graphic arts and comic stuff in general, althoughI've never been able to stay with it past the age of 14 or so. But I've remained vaguely interested ever since.

I even took part of a history of comics class a couple of years ago, and read through some great classic stuff. But, ultimately, it's not really my thing.

The comic 52 is about 10 different storylines, pretty much focusing on alot of minor characters (who now because of 52) have become major characters, and new superheroes and villians that all played a pivotal part in the missing year after INFiNITE CRISIS. It will be coming out in Graphic Novel later this year...

Its great. But jumping into it later is confusing... (issue 40) is out now.. first time in a while they have done a weekly comic book in a while...

Kudos,, hey I hear they are getting some new artists on some of the archie books, and making it a little more comtemporary! I was an avid Archie reader... Of course Jughead was my fave. Moose, Big Ethel and the whole Jughead world as well...

I probably spent a third of my childhood in comic book stores but I think the number of issues I've actually read is less than two dozen.

An issue of the Transformers that I bought while in Canada to see the World's Fair in 1986. An issue of New Teen Titans that I bought at Pegasus Comics in Vancouver, WA., later in 1986.

Those two are the only two I've ever actually purchased, and I don't remember why I did, just that they were still on my bookshelves when I was packing my stuff into the garage when I went off to college in 1992.

The rest were a half dozen Disney comics that were in my dad's closet and I read over and over on the odd weekend we were over there. Because there were no books in my dad's house. The rest were read during odd moments of nothing to do while working at the public library since they were kept close to the circulation desk.

It is odd that I wasn't into comic books because every single person in my social circle was heavily into them (thus a lot of time in comic book stores). But in the same way my constant reading and book accumulating pushed out any interest in music it seemed to do the same with comic books (plus I grew up in a household where there wasn't much in the way of discretionary cash and what little I received or stole mostly went into the Super Mario Bros. and Double Dragon machine at the IGA).

But I've always respected the form and find its history to be pretty interesting.

CDW, I wouldn't pick a comics fight with Bornieo...;)

i didnt think i was?
