I've wanted to write a blog for a while, but I always took the idea too serious. So I'm not now. Long story short.
Comics have been a running motif in my life. I read comics, collect comics, talk about comics to those that can see them as something at least a little more than a child's picture book.
Now I blog about comics.
No harm factor.
Lifetime speaking I've been pretty mainstream, Marvel and even so mostly X-men. Last couple years though I've been branching out. More of the Marvel-verse, some DC, bit a Vertigo, Image, Wildstorm, IDW, Dark Horse, SLG, and whoever published The Crow.
Earlier this year I got introduced to online comic strips. Brinkerhoff and Troy to be specific.
And recently, we're talking this week here, I walked into the world of independents. And when I say "walked into the world of independents" I mean I walked into Quimby's on North Ave. in Chicago. The place is amazing and opened up so many new doors.
This leaves me with a good hold on the mainstream comic industry, a good start with the web comic industry and grab bag of possibilities for exploring the indy industry along with a shit load of local Chicago comics.
So I'm excited about it and I want to boost my ego by talking about it.
My prophesy is that I'll blog mostly about the shit I like, a bit about what I don't, stuff I can't tell from the other and sometimes about the crap I don't understand.
I'll do my best to be honest and objective, but I'm sure I'll manage, at times, to be sarcastic, cynical, and mildly offensive.
Catch you at Quimby's.
