I made it! All the way to the bottom! I agree with Denise . . . don’t those of us who made it get some kind of special recognition? An award? A badge that says we have no life so we’re here reading about Christine’s comic book life? Just wondering.

Noelle, I’m with you on that. I don’t get it either, but maybe you are onto something with the skinsuit idea.
If you’re into comics, Christine, that’s cool, we in the short track world still love ya!

I’m a trooper. I made it to the end. I think I and the other troopers should get a ’special friend’ merit badge.
And man, that Batman has great legs.

Hey Yano,

If you’re looking to giving ‘The Ultimates’ a try…I have a spare copy of the trade paperback with issues 1-6. Just give me a mailing address and I’ll send it your way.
Glad you had fun!

oh wait - flashback - I had a thing for Batman when I was 5. Spiderman, too. *drool*

I guess the skinsuit thing is inborn.

K, I didn’t read very far in this, cause to be honest, I just don’t get the comic book thing. At all! (then again, I was the kid who hated cartoons. I’m generally nonplussed by animation, too.)

Someday can you do a post on what the appeal is? I mean, were you a comic fan from childhood on, or did you discover this later in life, as a teen or college student? Cause it strikes me as one of those sub-culture-y things, like D&D, or certain video games like Everquest, or skateboarding, or (dare I say it) short track. I’m curious!
