ARead
Name: Andrew Read
I was born in 1982. I read comics off an on for awhile, but didn't get serious about collecting until Superman died. I thought I was going to get rich investing my weekly allowance in the newest issues of Superman. I have complete run from 'Reign of the Supermen' til way too long..... It's been a long time since Supes died and I'm not rich yet, oh well.
Right now I live in Boston, and really enjoy going to my LCS every week (really I think I read in issues largely as an excuse to head down there every wednesday...). I spend way too much money on comics and way too much time online reading about them.

On May 4, 2009 11:35 AMNew England Comics in Allston was pretty packed in the afternoon. I was able to squeeze in and grab a few books... gotta say the Atomic Robo 'Dr. Dinosaur' story was AWESOME!!! an insane, time-travelling dinosaur fighting a wise-cracking robot... so good.

On Mar 11, 2009 11:09 AMWow, a lot of big interviews in this one huh? Awesome episode guys, very funny. I was especially glad to see Josh's interview with Duncan Rouleau, and I thought Ron did a great job interviewing everyone from Watchmen.

On Mar 9, 2009 10:24 AMThe art on Deadpool has been great. I can understand the writing not being for everyone (though I generally like it a lot), but I think if people just flip through an issue they might be more tempted to pick it up
Go to Comment03.06.2009 - 'Watchmen'
On Mar 5, 2009 4:16 AMSaw the movie on Sunday and agree with what seems to be the consensus in that I didn't really watch it as a movie-goer, more so as a comic-reader at the movies. Everything that was changed took me out of the story a little (not because it was bad, but because I thought I knew what to expect). At this point there are a few things I wish didn't change, mainly the way Rorschach deals ...

On Feb 24, 2009 10:32 AMHere's what I think is great: I (a longtime comic reader/collector) just borrowed a copy of Watchmen from a friend of mine (first GN he's ever bought). In exchange I've got a Walking Dead trade and a few other things lined up to let him borrow. I doubt he'll be rushing to our LCS every wednesday, but still, its pretty cool. I feel very confident that he never would have...
