Hello All!!
Decided to go ahead and introduce myself on here after lurking for a bit. I'm Brad, currently an American contractor working in Canada for the Royal Canadian Air Force and Boeing.
It's a small town, with one fledgling little LCS to get my wares. Anyhow, it's been many moons since I collected comics, and even then it was a meager little collection. Most of it was the gawdy foil/holographic covers that were the "variants" of the early 90's. The shiny covers and the art work drew me to them whenever I went to the bookstore with my mom, in itty bitty Ayer Massachusetts.
The first comic books I ever bought was Cable #1 with the Gold Embossed cover, Venom Lethal Defender #1, The Secret Defenders #1. Not phenomenal comics but at 9 and 10 years old they were amazing. I dabbled a bit in X-Men due to the animated series, I was big on Cable, Venom, and Cyclops. I'm also a self professed Star Wars nut.
I don't know if it's the small town here in Petawawa, Ontario, or the boredom, but I've recently been looking back to those days and have begun to dabble a bit more into the series that interest me, and interested me as a kid.
So far I've been grabbing '68 back issues, Sex Criminals, Spawn, Star Wars, Deadpool and just grabbed The Discipline. I'm interested in catching up more on Invincible, Deadpool and Hellboy, through hardcover. I'll probably start picking up Invincible now that it's running again. I'm not trying to amass an enormous collection of raw books but think I'm trying to focus on key issue/first prints/slabs and hardcover compendiums/omnibuses from my interests.
Anywho, that's me in a nutshell! It's great to be here, and looking forward to sharing with all of you!!
