As someone who would like to get into comics, I find it a little difficult to do. A friend of mine, who seems a little more determined to get into comics, subscribed to one version or another of the X-men comics, and I just couldn't get into it. I'm familiar with the 90s TV series, and these were either characters I'd never heard of, or characters that had gone through so many changes they'd be on a complete different side. It seems like it's something impossible for a new person to get into.

I understand that the long running series are important, they might even be considered the backbone of the comics. However, as someone who wants to get into comics, I feel pushed away because I need an encyclopedia to read them.

I do like to pick up trade paperback (mostly Batman) every month or two, but I don't think I would ever pick up issue to issue. I much prefer my story arcs cut out for me. I'm much more interested in comics releasing miniseries. I think The Sandman made up about ten TPBs, that was almost perfect for me. I think I'd much prefer a number more around five, but it's still close to what I want.

It's not that I don't love some of the characters, (Batman and Nightcrawler are two I totally dig) but I can't get into them. I can't find a happy medium in this, I don't think these long stories should be cut off, but I still want to enjoy Batman. That Frank Miller about Batman coming out of retirement seems to be exactly what I'm looking for.

These better be the cases for what a bootleg PS3 game looks like. Or for the used game shelf at your local rental store.

"30. Wow, how obvious is it that the writer of this article desperately wants to be the Hunter S. Thompson of this genration?"

You noticed that too? The more I think about this article, the more it sounds like fiction. The situations the author finds himself in, the encounters, the dialogue, all of it sounds too fake, too make up from reading too much Hunter S. Thompson (something I myself can be accused of doing) and seeing movies like Blow (I haven't ever seen Blow, however).
