I did recently buy a two parter called The Horrorist that I enjoyed. <br /><br />As I get older and care less about what people think I find my interests are pretty broad.<br /><br />I'm with everyone else. <br /><br />Comics lay somewhere between serials and graphic novels... How can you go wrong with that?<br /><br /><br />Steve Denton<br />The Act of Becoming<br />http://stevedenton79.spaces.live.com/Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15635075922088562444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2205211864827363322.post-56881374408942320642009-11-05T10:05:07.406-06:002009-11-05T10:05:07.406-06:00Hey Scott,

She actually reads four or five monthly comics, including some that I don't read. But still, she can't get over the jack kirby/ugly women problem. I love the Jimmy Olsen stuff. Thanks for the comment and I understand about how the expense of comics makes it hard to keep up. Marvel just increased the price of some of their titles and that's going to keep me from reading them. Oh well.<br /><br />Hey Bill,<br />I love The Thirteenth Egg story, which really felt like a genuine comic book story made into a short story, which I imagine is really difficult to do. It was great to see you in Nashville.K.

It's edited by Owen King (Steve King's other son)and John McNally and also features a neato story by my fave George Singleton.<br /><br />And I agree with LAG, don't stop the comics posts! I've read my share of superhero comics, but really fell in love with the medium through Watchmen and Sandman--long before Time said it was cool! My favorite superhero has to be Green Lantern, but as a kid, I wanted to be Spider-Man when I grew up.<br /><br />Take care and keep up the excellent work!<br /><br />Yr Pal,<br />BillTN-Tanukihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11911252662784008847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2205211864827363322.post-80332492489276173412009-10-29T16:30:34.676-05:002009-10-29T16:30:34.676-05:00Your wife sounds like my girlfriend.

I never responded, though, because I feel insecure in my comic book knowledge. I can't afford to follow any titles month-to-month on my lowly GTA stipend, so I'm too out of the loop to hold my own in comic shop talk.<br /><br />Also, my taste in comics is totally random and dorky. (I collect old issues of Superman's Pal Jimmy Olsen and Superman's Girlfriend Lois Lane.)<br /><br />But, please, don't shy away from the comic book posts!Luke Geddeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14965309082509817059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2205211864827363322.post-23187554880981603062009-10-28T22:38:41.993-05:002009-10-28T22:38:41.993-05:00Woops.
