Greetings....
This is a little off subject, but I figured if I wanted the most help I could only get it here on the main board.
I like many of you grew up on comics, absolutely loved each month going to the supermarket and just sitting there for hours reading all the comics that had just came out. But, then the plague that was the "Clone Saga" in the Spiderman comics came along....I couldn't take it, my favorite superhero(right up there with X-men and Batman) Spiderman was a clone?!?! What the hell was this? So in essence I stopped collecting, stopped reading and kept all my old ones in my closet for years.
Well now I'm in college which means of course one thing...IM BROKE. So in an effort to make some money I dragged out my comics and started sorting them to sell to a local comic store. Strangely as I sat there, I began to read all my old faves, spiderman, the hulk, captain america, x-men, x-men 2099(did all the 2099 comics get canceled?), etc etc etc. Sort got me wondering what has happened in the last 6 years Ive been away.
What happened since I've been away?
If anyone could help a brother out it be appricated.
And since Ive already wrote like a 12 page letter already(sorry bout' that) does anyone know what I could look into if I wanted to be a comic book writer??
Thanks.
