October 23, 2012 5:55 pm Not an issue for me who labels themselves what! Simply put, if someone wants to buy comics under whatever pretense, it likely helps the survival of the industry which gives me a lot of joy on a weekly basis. I gladly share comic space with anyone who wants in. I'm not into labels for myself, but if a celebrity or the girl at the corner market wants to label herself a geek who am I to argue. Fine you're a geek; let's go buy some comics, t-shirts and enjoy the experience. As for the ads themselves ... all they did was interrupt a story I was enjoying. Barely glanced at them. My daughter simply said "that's stupid" and then re-engaged herself in reading the actual comic.

March 27, 2012 10:00 pm I recently got back into collecting and enjoying comics. However, I used to place too much emphasis on the collecting part of it. Even today I still feel some guilt that I may be losing continuity by dropping some titles I would genuinely like to support but just aren't being written or drawn (or both) in a way that appeals to me. But I have finally decided to put on my big boy pants and allow myself to drop stuff that isn't an enjoyable read, continuity be damned. By finally doing so, I have really added to my comics experience and the trip to the shop isn't a battle of attrition anymore, but more of a journey to find the books I enjoy or to see what grabs me. I have to admit that the New 52 brought me back to the shop originally, but now I only collect three DC books (which I enjoy immensely) yet I collect 12 titles per month and many of those are a real departure from what I traditionally read for comics. I love the freedom.
