Name: John Kish

Well, comics have been a huge part of my life since I was in 4th grade.  My first comic ever was G.I. Joe #40...maybe #41.  Whichever one, I then started buying Avengers comics and loving them.  I stopped for a brief year in the early 2000's, but then got back into them and bought all of the issues that I missed in that year.  When I got married, I had little pins of the Robin symbol made for all of the men at the wedding to wear.  Expecting a child, I'm buying up lots of loose DC Direct and Marvel Legends figures so that, should the little sprout show some interest in comics, he/she will have the coolest toys on the block...and I can play with them on the side while the kid is still a drooling infant.

The wife and I moved to Milwaukee just over a year ago, I'm a high school teacher, and I'm always looking for people to talk comics with over a beer.  Word.

Edit: We had the boy!  I've already read him some comics...here's hoping he develops into a little nerd!

Robin sure has his legs bunched up tight...almost like he's trying to hide something that his super-flared-out top can't cover!

I like the script. Captain America: "AWOOOOOO!"   Wolverine: "RAAAAARR!" Writer: "Man, this shit is good."

Do you think that the members of the team make fun of the one melodramatic-pose-guy on the team?

Kitty Pryde Returns to Uncanny X-Men in March!!

I am definitely really enjoying Uncanny right now, so I'm looking forward to how this happens.  But yes, I agree with the guy from iFanboy up there, I hope Greg Land doesn't pencil/trace this.  Does anyone else notice that his mouths are all off-angle from his faces lately?  That irritates me almost as more than Simone Bianchini drawing huge areolas on Scott Summers.

Liefield?  He did mention "young creators" that "burn their bridges".
