Comic books and my Life - Part 2. Make Mine Marvel

[sudge]

My name is Stephen Sutherland, and  I was a Marvel zombie.

There, I said it.

Now, there is nothing wrong with Marvel comics as a company, and a good Marvel comic is a good comic, cant take that away from it. But nothing but Marvel? All the time? Man I was messed up. A moody, self inflicted loner 11-14 year old (thereabouts), I couldnt get enough of

I love the past tense in "I read my comics for heroes, and couldnt help but use them for role models", like you dont use them as role models anymore. We all know how influential Clark Kent still is!

Also, Peter Parker is one of the few (mainstream) comic book characters who you could picture actually reading a comic book. Or at least he would in his younger days. Seriously, if he wasn't swinging from rooftops and fighting crime so much, you could easily picture him on some message board posting about how Aquaman wound up with a harpoon for a hand.

Definately! He'd be all "eaten by a fish? But he's aquaman!" then he'd make a really funny joke about it.

Man, I want to hang out with peter parker.
