What got me back into all this

At the request of screenwriter 3d comes a journal on a book that's the most special to me. Now for starters its not graded, as of yet. I will send it off eventually, but I do like to reread it every now and again. To end the suspense the book that means so much is Civil War #1.

Now I know this is a pretty new book and quite a few things(caps death) have been retconned from the series. The reason this book means so much is it was the story that pulled me into serious collecting. Prior to this I would grab things off the rack here and there as a kid. But I never took care of them and don't have anything from back then.

I had read about the upcoming civil war storyline and liked the premise. I still love the story as it is 1 of marvels best events ever. This whole event has brought me into the comic store every week since then. Now I have a decent sized modern collection. I do try and purchase older books here and there and am working towards making that my focus.

Aside from just pulling me into comics full time this book introduced me to Mark Millar. I am a huge fan of his work. From his creator owned works like, kick , superior, secret service and Jupiter's legacy to his works like Civil War and Superman Red Son, I can't get enough.

Civil War is the reason I'm on these boards and have cgc books. This book brought me into a great community of awesome people full of knowledge and passion on a subject I love. I know it's not a key issue or worth anything much more than its cover price. But this book brought me into an amazing hobby with amazing people.

Thanks to screenwriter 3d on idea for this journal as it gave me a chance to reflect on all this.
