2. Umm I guess I just jumped on board the Scott Pilgrim gravy train, for some reason I was not drawn in by and even a little put off by the previews I read but I bought #3 on a whim just because it was cheap and the art was way cute and I ended up really enjoying it.
Oddly I am kind of re-evaluating the George Perez Wonder Woman comics I bought out of the quarter bin and really dug when I was younger. It may just be that I had it pointed out to me that like every single female superhero has sexual assault in her background and this is no exception and THAT IS LAME, but man, that run gets kind of super boring sometimes and no fair having the big girl superhero be the boring one. I know that this problem of snoozedom is not exactly unique to that one specific run of Wonder Woman but you know.
3. HELLYEAH

1. through ILM, of course. and yes, ILC is far, far better.2. been reading old '60's Thor the last couple weeks, Essential volume one last week and now Essential volume 2. The lead stories sucked before Kirby took over the art for good, and they can still be pretty iffy. Tales of Asgard, though, is pretty awesome, even if they crap all over the mythology. 3. I am not entirely averse to polls and lists.

Kooky! I'm only up to issue three of Perez' run, so I'll be wary of any sad sex that appears.
And, yes, SCOTT PILGRIM is awesome. I shoulda included it on my current faves.

1. Through ILM. Those dudes take the word "nerd" to places I didn't know existed.
2. Believe or not, All Star Supes. I've been buying the issues but hadn't had time to read them until the other night and now I think it's one of my favorite comics ever.
3. Heck yes. Mainly just for reading the results. I've learned a lot about comics from the ILC Best Ever Poll.

My history with comics: When i went back to college at 23 a good friend i met there collected X-Men Comics and had an wasome action figure collection. Having no originallity of my own, I attempted to copy his collecting habbit. Once when I wondered into a comic store to see if they had any good figures, I noticed Batman Wardrums with Steph Brown on the cover. I thought is was Carrie since I had never read comics but knew of Carrie. The guy told me no, that it was someone else and I picked it up curious. Long story Short Now I Buy Everything
Young Avengers is pretty awsome Thats my most recent find.
