Or I Really Am A Fussy Eater

I try things once in a while, new things in the time the proverbial blue moon arrives. In fact there have probably been many blue moons that passed between the things I have tried as new and finally accepted as old. Many meals would pass untried, this was probably due to my parents not being able to cook. This inconsiderate habit of denying myself things transcended into the comic world.

Of course in simpler terms everything is new at one point. It has to be tried for it to become old. I romantically hypothesize my first comic book was given to me by my grandfather. I can systematically attribute this to having a copy of the Star Wars treasury edition used as a floor mat in my Pop-pop's car. I remember one rainy day pulling it off the trash strewn floor and throwing it onto the back seat next to me. I also imagine that the security blanket status this comic book had allowed an opening for my Aunt Rozie to dispose of some comic books owned by her son. It might have just been her way of staying ahead of the times by recycling. This also might be why only one horror movie ever scared me because Fear #8 and SuperNatural Thrillers #2 were read repeatedly.

So decades later as I pick up a new book I will most likely put it back down. I blame two things. I like to complete things. If I buy the first issue, I need to buy the fifth, tenth, fiftieth, and so on. This gets costly. I have learned to end a series because I lost interest. I did this with DC's Teen Titans. Once in a while I get shocked with a good issue and I collect for a few more. Another single good issue keeps me salivating for more but in today's digital world it is easier to skip a book or two every Wednesday.

The latest title I tried happened this past Monday with Morning Glories. At .99 from Comixology, it was a deal I couldn't pass up. I was shocked how good it was. I already knew I like the covers. The interior artwork was just as superior as any other comic book that has me hooked. I just didn't get into it because it was something new. I didn't have the space. It's Image and they are never on time. Place a made up reason here. By this morning I finished all twenty five issues. And I want more. But what's the next new thing on the horizon that I will pass on, or will I give it a shot? Maybe today I'll find out about Jupiter's Legacy.

Thanks For Reading
