I deleted my old account here. I used to be DrakeTungsten. So hello, again, CCF. Love the name. You're not really Philip Marlowe, are you? |

The long & winding road...which leads me back to your door..... I can't remember how long it's been since my last visit hereabouts (2, 3 years maybe??) So I'm not sure who all may remember me but I used to be String originally and then Hawke for a bit. Now simply Marv-El which I think sums up my basic comic interests perfectly. And yes Slam, Superman is still the best  |

Hey, all. I found this place on a Google search, and I'm hoping to make new friends. Aside from comics and stuff related to them, my other interests include movies in general (hence the handle), music, Photoshop, and civil political discussion. As you can probably tell by my avatar, one of my favorite movies is 1994's "The Shadow". Another thing you should know about me right away is that I'm a Christian, and I don't feel at all bound to apologize or remain silent for that. I'm not a rude, hateful, or mean-spirited person, and I make every purposeful attempt to be as peaceful with others as I can. But I'm not PC, and it gets on my nerves when folks expect me to be. I believe it is perfectly possible and reasonable, to disagree with someone on an issue (even a sensitive one), and it doesn't automatically mean you hate or fear them. Aside from all of that, I like to think of myself as pretty friendly, so by all means, don't be shy. I truly enjoy meeting and talking to new people. Thanks for having me.  |

Welcome to the forum, moviefan2k4 ! You're not the only movie fan or the only Christian here, and we are proud of our history of friendly, civil discussions on issues large and small. What are some of your favorite comics?
I used to read a fair amount of them as a kid, mainly Superman, Spider-Man, and the Fantastic Four. But starting around my mid-teens I just quit, and there was a pretty sound reason for it at the time. Back then, publishers of comic books had a very strange profiting strategy - they would expect readers to buy multiple issues of different runs, just to keep up with a continuing story. For example, you might have a tale which begins in "Spider-Man #1", then Part 2 is in "Amazing Spider-Man #50", and the finale is in "Peter Parker: Spider-Man #100". It drove me absolutely insane at the time, so I just gave up. Its been many years now, so I don't even know if the publishers do that anymore.
The last comic I actually purchased was a reprinted hardcover anniversary edition, of "Batman: The Killing Joke". I'd never read it before, but it was definitely something else. I know DC made an animated film about it, a few years ago...but they got a lot of flack for adding a subplot where Batman and Batgirl had a past sexual fling. Personally, I think they fully deserved that criticism, because its not in the book.

Dive right in to any of the discussions that take your fancy, we're a very friendly bunch. I'm a big fan of The Killing Joke; I tend to think Alan Moore's just about the best writer to ever work in comics, though that's not a universally shared opinion round these parts. But disagreeing agreeably is our specialty here. |
