I’m a light fan of comics. I tend to stick to web, although I do enjoy printed. Alan Moore is a genius and my favorite hero is Batman. I love the very serious to the very quirky. I can’t quite remember what the first comic I ever read was, but it had to be either Batman or X-Men, being that those two have carved the strongest mark on my otherwise inconsequential childhood.
Other than that, I’m an engineer by training, writer by hobby, and social vagrant by reputation. Everything else is uninteresting.
Oh, and I have a blag.

Maybe I will, thanks for the tip! sorry if it took forever to respond i only log in when the site bugs me to rate comics.

You should totally post a note in the "I AM AN ARTIST" thread in the forums. I glanced at your portfolio and liked it :) You should post more color work.
Also, holla. I grew up in Tustin. Currently living in NorCal.

I gotta say, I’m still digging Boston. I’ve been here for going on a year now.

Yeah I'm in CA. Born and raised in Orange County, went to college and now live in the Bay Area. Got my eyes on moving to SF (or Boston, or London).
I do want to comment about the $1.99 price point. Ellis crams a lot into these comics. Each issue is a complete story which you can pick up at any point. Grab the latest one and you won't feel lost at all. I applaud that they can pack a full story into such a short comic, each page stuffed to capacity with art and writing. And they want it to be cheap. That's their point. They think comics are too expensive and want people to afford these easily, and to keep each issue self-contained.
The only reason to read all the issues is that each story is a brush stroke in the painting of Snowtown, and the more you read, the clearer the picture becomes. It's like slowly stepping backwards from a Seurat.

By the end, I found myself wanting to hunt down everything Matt Fraction has ever written, ever. This book was absolutely incredible, everything I wanted it to be.

Probably not going to pick up the rest.
