I've recently re discovered my love for comic books. When I was a teenager I was such a comic book geek and I would spend hours copying the drawings from them, probably much to the horror of my school art teacher when my finished art pieces were of scantily clad large breasted women warriors ;) I have always enjoyed being somewhat controversial. For some reason or other I stopped reading them so much, I still always kept up to date with all the marvel films and would often pop in to comic book stores to have a browse. But a few weeks ago I was going through a very difficult time with my health and have had to be off work resting and therefore looking for things to entertain my self with whilst lying on the sofa. My incredibly kind brother-in-law-to-be took me out to a comic book store one Saturday afternoon as he is also a fan and we spent ages in there browsing and it was very healing for me to connect back to my younger self. I stumbled upon a copy of a Spiderverse convergence comic where all the Spidermen and Spiderwomen from all the realms and times join together to take on evil (standard) I fell in love with it and decided to make my first comic book purchase in years.
I read the whole thing cover to cover in one sitting and thoroughly enjoyed it. I've discovered Silk and Gwen Stacey and am now on a mission to buy their stories.
This weekend I popped in to another comic store in Shrewsbury, it was supposed to be a girly day out clothes shopping with my mom and sister but I couldn't resist popping in and they didn't seem to mind. I found a copy of Silk and then my Mom, who's a legend, found a series of comics I hadn't come across yet. It's called Fables and it's a similar concept to Once Upon a Time Tv series, of which me, my mom and sister are huge fans. I purchased #issue 2 of Fables and couldn't wait to get it home to read. And once again I read the whole thing cover to cover. I managed to find #issue 2 on ebay so I eagerly await it's arrival in the post.
What's your favourite comic?
