But not THE Comic Book Guy.
For one thing, I still have a full head of hair. On the other hand, I'm probably a few chili dogs and large supreme pizzas away from having that gut.
Nonetheless, the title of this post is accurate as I've returned to my original fandom and started reading comic books again. I grew up with an older brother who collected and as a result, grew up with somewhat ready access to comics. As time passed, however, that access dwindled and I found myself moving on to other pastures. But now, thanks to the internet and apps, I can once again indulge in a former hobby.
In other words, I finally signed up for both Marvel Unlimited and DC Infinite a while back and have been reading. For the most part. As you can guess with such a buffet before me, I've had a hard time choosing what to read so sometimes I just won't and kick the can down the road. Fortunately, I've started to stomp the can instead and made a point of opening one app or the other and read.
It's also has had the unexpected but not unwelcome effect of making me want to revive Nerd Trash. I've toyed with the idea before, but now with my return to comics, I think I can do it. More on that later, after I've done some more thinking and planning.
