Welcome to My World

   So as of late I've kind of been unemployed. With that comes all sorts of benefits such as being genuinely poor, and rationing (didn't we outlaw that after WWII or something?).
   But anyways, the point is that a longstanding hobby of mine (collecting comic books) was forced to be put down due to lack of funding for my addiction and my parents refusing to enable me. After the long and painful decision between comics and food (and it was a close one people), I decided that I would choose comics, and then later food after three weeks and a few missing pounds.
   So all that remains unread of my ten years of being a social outcast and the founding idea for the stereotypical nerd lies piled in a peanut box on a shelf next to real book that I will honestly get to someday (in Garrett’s Super Awesome Blog of Incrediblenessocity, TBA).

   In this box sits several runs of series that I had been holding off on reading just so I could truly appreciate the story, the art, and the overall interaction within the universe. The problem with this idea is now that the box is no longer overflowing, I’m never motivated to keep up with it like I was. I know the moment I hit the bottom it will all be over, and my childhood hobby will be dead.
   So how this blog will work is that each week I’ll post on some comic or series that I’ve read and discuss the elements within it. Some will be mainstream titles (like Marvel’s Spider-man) and others will be not so main stream (like Zenescope’s Grimm Fairy Tales). Heck some might even be legit books to lend myself some credibility as a reader.
   But that’s not all folks. For the next ten weeks we will be slowly working our way down to the granddaddy of them all. I’m talking about the last installment of the X-Men’s Messiah trilogy called Second Coming. Yes it’s a big deal. Let’s just say the first installment literally involved a DO NOT DISTURB announcement to a bus full of high school kids and a bribe to a freshman to hurt anyone who bothers me between issue 1 and 13. This was four years ago and I’ve been waiting eagerly to read this final arc ever since then.
   So sit back. Relax. Accept change (heh a little Secret Invasion humor for all those who know what a Skrull is. For those of you who don’t just laugh and back away slowly, making no sudden movements. My eyesight isn’t as good as yours).
   But most importantly I hope you have fun as I work my way through this list and enjoy the last pieces of my collection before I say goodnight to the hobby forever.
