“This morning, Annie wakes from a good drunk, ta tell me she read on the uplink that they changed the killable alien ratings—again.” – Heath Huston, Fear Agent.

The first line ever uttered by one of my comic book heroes, Heath Huston from Fear Agent. I started reading comics in 2008, despite being 33 years old and arriving late to the party. I’ve become engrossed and addicted to this medium and can’t get enough.

Fear Agent, Y: The Last Man and Blankets have been some of my favorite graphic novels I’ve read so far.

Blurbs

FrogMan says:

yeah, both “SI Dark Reign” and “Dark Reign New Nation” are one shots, hey shipped and showed no pending issues so I cleaned them out… :)

Chandler Mike said:

Nevermind, Dark Reign is a one-shot…I thought it was more of a series, I’m not sure where I got that.

Chandler Mike says:

I think I was surprised by the Dark Reign one

FrogMan says:

not much, again some cleaning up. Of all the ones I unsubbed from, only three were real cuts, the other were either minis (SI and such) or one shots that had all shipped. Of the real, I cut Mighty Avengers, which I had been reading since #1, only because it didn’t appeal to me anymore. Sinec Bendis is leaving it with #20 which just shipped, it was time to cut it.

Chandler Mike said:

Woh, you unsubbed to a lot of stuff! What’s going on?

Don Z says:

This is me exactly: “I started reading comics in 2008, despite being 33 years old and arriving late to the party.”

Robert says:

That obvious huh? : )

Yeah, I have to cut back for a bit, but I’m hoping to be back and get everything I missed by mid-Januray or so.

Hopefully.

Chandler Mike said:

Lot of unsubs, everything okay? :)

MattC says:

I’d also recommend Daddyplace.com as a good place to meet and connect with other dads, ask questions, get advice, etc…It’s been a big help to me for the last year-ish

MattC says:

Hang in there with the baby – mine will be a year old next month and the first few weeks and months are definitely the hardest, but it’s definitely well worth it and starts to get better around the 6 month mark…

FrogMan says:

LOL! It’s was only a bunch of minis or one shots that were done. I find it easier to manage one shots by subscribing to them than by ordering separately. Every once in a while I delete the subs. :)

Chandler Mike said:

Wow, you just unsubscribed from a lot of stuff!

Beetle says:

It was announced in the forums—I’m not a stalker! Get some sleep!

Chandler Mike said:

Thanks :) And how did you find that out? :)

Beetle says:

Congrats on the new arrival! Whoohoo!

Pariah says:

Thanks. And thanks for the recommendation. Neat site.

Chandler Mike said:

Welcome aboard!

BrikHed says:

Yes, it was due out 2 weeks ago and still nothing. Sad – but worth the wait

BrikHed says:

I am digging Four Eyes but with only one issue to base it on it is hard to say for sure. I am anxious for #2
