Name: Vernon Owens
I am a history teacher from Dayton, OH. I began reading comics again in January of '08 and have found an awesome way to get out of my shoes for a few hours a night. I started my collection with my obsession on Knights of the Old Republic from the video games on X-box. Once I got a few issues in, I started thinking of what else was out there. So my collection quickly expanded to this, now, monstrous collection in this order of accumulation: X-titles, most of the Marvel flag-ship titles, a few Vertigo titles, Batman, some more Marvel, and then Image and most of the Indy publishers. I can proudly say that I've read an example of at least one of every genre available. I've acquired a relative knowledge of writers and pencilers and am able to discuss comics now with longstanding collectors on a variety of topics. It's a fun and healthy way to get exposure to things that I've never seen or thought about before. I'm an avid reader and I plan on continuing collecting for a long long time.

The Best of the Week In... Covers (11/18/09)
On Nov 19, 2009 12:54 PMI really don't care for any of the above covers. I think the Hellblazer cover was the most impressive this week. A close second would be Cowboy Ninja Viking.

On Nov 19, 2009 3:06 AMI think I like 4 a little better than this issue, but this was still good. My pick was Hellblazer. Excellent this month.

On Nov 18, 2009 11:29 AMAll of you who are currently writing, just keep writing. Many of those on here that are critical, are projecting their own failures and cynical thoughts on everyone else. This might be a presumptous post, but you that are writing have a hell of a lot more courage than I do on any given day.

On Nov 12, 2009 9:00 AMMy favorite of the above has to be B&R. Strange is my favorite cover of the week.
Go to CommentHere's something you don't see every day: DC had the top six books in October
On Nov 10, 2009 9:00 AMThat's awesome news. DC is doing a lot better than Marvel in writing and art, for the most part, so I'm glad they get a little more of the market share.
