My name is Tony. I lurked for a bit, got the "lay of the land" before posting. . .
I was in the hobby for a bit in the early-90s before I stopped. Liked X-Men, Batman, Spider-Man, Daredevil, and the Silver Surfer. Absolutely loved Infinity Gauntlet. Sometime later, when I was in the workforce, I had some expendable income and found a local comic shop about a quarter of a mile from me (had no idea it was there, even though it was at a major intersection). Picked up more copies of Infinity Gauntlet to re-read, and found both issues of Thanos Quest on eBay.
That started all of this back up. Moved to Houston, and now, with this forum and the local shops, I feel like I'm building a pretty diverse and fun collection.
