Name: John Kish

Bio: 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 three years 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! Edit: He's 19 months old now and he loves filing comics with me. We pull out the box, he takes off the top, he pushes them in for me, and then he puts the top on and pushes it back on the shelf. Too fun.

August 19, 2010 10:57 am Did nobody else think of the rock-guy from The Neverending Story?  "...these hands, they look so strong..."

July 16, 2010 10:07 am What will it take to make Skottie Young my little artist monkey in my house?  And Matt Fraction?
July 12, 2010 12:41 pm Why does the complete re-imagining of this series just sound like another lame-ass Liefield plot?  When I think re-imagination, I think of Squadron Supreme or BSG.
June 28, 2010 10:28 pm Yeah, I thought it was great.  I mean, completely wordy, but I liked the image that it painted as well as the images that were...drawn...I've been waiting for the second issue to come out.  I mean, issue #1 came out the day Manchester United lost to Bayern Munich for a spot in the Champions League semi-finals.  Jeez.

June 28, 2010 10:25 pm Wait, shouldn't Brightest Day be coming out this week as well?
