Hello. I started collecting Spiderman when I was a young teenager. Then I found a Fantastic Four book with a Spiderman team up. I had remembered the FF from loving the 60s FF series that would sometimes run on Cartoon Network's Saturday Super Chunk. Well, I dropped Spiderman, and went all in on FF for quite a while.
I stopped collecting for about 10 or 15 years like most people, then got back into it. Gradually, I grew to love the hobby more and more.
Now I have every issue of Fantastic Four to date except 2, 3, 4, and 5 so far. I'll get to them eventually, but probably need to jump on a 5 sooner than later.
As the FF books started getting harder to buy, I started branching out. I got every FF annual, one shot, mini series, off shoot series, alternate U series, novels, and (as far as I know) every promo book...there's a lot of original work, non reprint promos for the FF.
After that, I went for the Silver Surfer. I have every issue of all volumes, the one shots, minis, annuals, graphic novels, etc.
Then I fell for The Eternals hype and went all in on the full vol 1...just hope I can recoup a quarter of what I paid for them if they'll ever show up in a movie again.
Also a big Nova and Quasar fan. Have all their runs. And an oddball complete run of the original Marvel Star Wars volume.
I've lurked a few days now, and am really impressed with this community. It's worlds better than the other, exclusively modern comic boards I've been on.
I'm looking forward to exploring this forum's worlds within worlds...especially the FF thread!
