What's up everybody. My name is Nico, and about a year and a half ago I got heavy into reading comic books. I was more of a casual reader than anything before that. I'd pick up Batman trades now and then, maybe some random Spider-Man comics my little brother had laying around, but never really expanding my scope beyond that.
I've always had a love for Batman, though. As a young'n, my parents bought me Batman action figures, pajamas, lunch boxes, and pretty much anything else that would solidify me as hot shit on the playground. My desire to punch bad guys more often got me sent to the Principal's office than being widely recognized by my local police department, but I digress.
When I heard that Marvel was relaunching The Amazing Spider-Man, I figured this would be the best time to dive head-first into the world of comics, not knowing the full extent of the pleasure and excitement you can get from reading a 30 page book with cool drawings in it. I was instantly hooked. Every Wednesday was a new adventure from a different part of whatever world I chose. The grimy streets of Gotham, New York City's ever-eventful alleys crawling with life, or worlds I've yet to experience like the small town of Buckaroo, Oregon or our cosmic neighbor Mars, The Red Planet.
This is an introduction to what I hope will be an enjoyable reading experience. Maybe it'll persuade you to pick up an underrated book you hadn't given a second glance, or make you steer clear of a series you were skeptical about in the first place. I'll be giving my personal and honest opinions on a book each week. I'll give a little of the synopsis without being a spoiler and commenting on the art. I'm not sure which books I'll be reviewing or how I'll determine which ones I do each week. My plan is to take a different book off my weekly pull list and throw a review up for it. We'll see where that takes us. I'll try my best to make this a weekly thing. Having a job that works me 40-60 hours a week an hour away and being in school may make it somewhat difficult but I will do my best.
Alright guys. Shutting it down for now. I hope you'll check it out! Follow me on Twitter for opinionated babble about rarely anything of any real importance or substance @BiGNasty91_
Sequence Terminated (yeah I'm gonna need to think of a better sign-off)
