Name: Patrick Moore

Bio: First, about me. My name's Patrick. I'll be 31 in March '08, and I work as a Mailman in South NJ.I'm a long time comic fan with a soft spot for the Avengers. I made my first comic purchase when I was 8, and now over 20 years later I'm still going strong. My "Holy Trinity" of heroes are Captain America, Thor, and Spider-Man, in that order. I have almost every issue of the Avengers ever printed,  missing the first 3 and a few  random  books here and there. My favorite  comic creators  include JRSr, Stan "The Man" Lee, Roy Thomas, Brian Micheal Bendis, Ed Brubaker, Sean Phillips, Sal Buscema, Robert Kirkman, Todd McFarlane, Jae Lee, Mark Gruenwald, and many many others.I love conventions! I try to make it to both the New York Comic Con and Wizard World Philly every year, with high hopes to one day make it to the big show in San Diego at least once. I often work at some of the small local cons as a vendor with 10 or so long boxes of back issues and collectible toys.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Xdp0FRE9rIhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Xdp0FRE9rIOver the past few years, I’ve put together strait/complete runs of: Ultimate Spider-Man; Daredevil Vol. 2; Ultimate Fantastic Four and a few others. I’m still working on my Avengers and Captain America collections.Avengers, Vol. 1 "need" list:1-3614537175-7678-8285-8991-98109-110130133-134137162166West Coast Avengers, Vol.293-96Captain America Vol. 1:104-106108-110112114116-117120-122124-125127-129131133-136138-139141-142145-150153-157163-164166169184187212214220227230234-235241-242251273283409425435Captain America, Vol. 23-512-13

I love this series, no surprise there. 1) It’s sci-fi with a lot of real world physics. The idea of…

July 20, 2011 9:31 pm Raimi did justice to both Peter/Spider-man's origin, and the characters he interacted with.... This seems to stray away from that, which is not good. I understand that liberties are taken in the film making process, but the fundimentals and overall feel of the source material should always be kept whole, otherwise you risk losing the interest of the core fans in favor of an "artsy" film that appeals to only a select few.

That said, so far I have little to know interest in seeing this.  It's obviously too early to call, but the vibe and over all impression I get from the trailer is that Garfield may "do what ever a spider can"...but he's NOT Spider-man!
June 6, 2011 10:12 pm This book was awesome! I'm getting it to make it easier to lend to people (and to have it on the self for myself of course).

While the silver does look good, our flag is not red, silver and blue. Trust me though, I'm not bashing it at all. In fact, I hope they put a replica of it out so I can get that one too!

 

@Jesse1125: A friend of mine in his 60's, who grew up with Thor since JiM #83 and is his favorite character, also has the hammer...and is not joking when he says he's going to be burried with it!

and yes I know...I need to dust! lol

July 25, 2010 8:33 pm @JesTr- I have the Factor X replica. It looks awesome on the wall, but it's only Sheet metel and pretty fragile...FYI I'd buy it again for $300-400, but it's only for us hard core fans. i.e. throwing it at someone may dent it and/or chip the paint. "sigh" Thor's Hammer by Factor X on the other hand, is a solid block of aluminum with a solid wood handle...you can throw that sucker at people all day! lol
July 25, 2010 8:21 pm It's the wrong hand! It fits the LEFT hand, not the right! Still neat though.
June 8, 2010 12:26 am I'll have to check Nostradamus' quatrains to see if he knows how many issues this is going to run.
May 13, 2010 10:20 pm No worries, the series will reboot with a new #1 at some point after #12. I have inside info :)
