Nice to see some of my old favs still here! (Alas, poor Merrick! I knew him, Horatio, a fellow of infinite jest, of most excellent fancy.)
As to where I've been, long story short:
(a) I don't really want to give CBR any more of my intellectual property in the form of forum posts because I think they are bad juju, so...
(b) now I'm a member in two other awesome communities run by people I respect,
The Omnibus Collector's™ Comic Swap and Community on FB for all of my collecting nerdery and the
Jay & Miles X-Plain The X-Men discord for X-stuff, and also
(c) I've read more than 6000 issues in the past 24 months while
(d) launching 20+ new guides on Crushing Krisis and
(e) moving my family and my entire collection to Wellington, New Zealand!
(f) (oh, and having a 80+ episode YouTube show of me unpacking my omnibuses!)
Happy to know this thread is still trucking along and I haven't been entirely forgotten. I'll try to poke my head in occasionally, as I miss all of you OGs.
Oh, and I guess I shouldn't leave without some Marvel recommendations? Definitely pick up the Doctor Strange by Donny Cates OHC coming in a few months, because Damnation was awesome. Don't sleep on Nighthawk if you like social commentary from an ultra-violent Batman (you don't need to have read Squadron Supreme to appreciate it). And, New Mutants - Dead Souls was my favorite Marvel book of 2018... second only to PUNISHER.
Bet you never expected to hear that sentence from me
