I started collecting comics again after a decade long hiatus back in '04 and went strong until mid last year. My daughter's birth and massive burnout caused me to take what will probably be another decade long hiatus.

I love the iconic characters of both DC and Marvel. My only problem is that comics cost a LOT of money now. Especially if you have several favorites you want to follow. Couple that with the enormous time and resources it takes to actually care for your books, and you find you can not simply do that AND gaming as well (least for me). Sure, there's digital, but I'm not quite there yet.

I see hope in the genre with peeps like Scott Snyder, Rick Remender and others rising the bar in quality, however. And I must say, the fact that Aquaman is cool again (or for the first time?) almost kept me in the game.

The nail in the coffin for me though, would have to be the way character death is handled. I could go on and on. But it is has gotten pretty ridiculous now, in Marvel mostly. "SIEGE #2: THIS ISSUE, SOMEONE DIES FOR REAL! 'Nuff Said!". Bleh.


Dot, dot, dot!
