I'm a comic book nerd and I blame HER
As you may know,
invsagoth (wife), likes to read comics and has an obsession with Loki. Because of this I have been taking her to the comic book store weekly to make sure that she hasn't missed any titles. It started with one, and now she's up to four or five regular titles, so one or two a week. We have a pull-box set up, but they have missed titles on occasion, so we make a point to go in weekly anyway.
While I'm there I browse the titles, but I don't like jumping into stories midway. Most of the time I go and look at games or whatever until she's done browsing and we check out. This changed last month. Three comics came out that I really like. Silk, a new spidey character, Issue #1. Spider-Gwen, an alt-universe Gwen-Stacey that doesn't die, but instead is a Spider-person, Issue #1. And a new arc of The Dresden Files, titled Downtown, Issue #1. I read the novels as they come out, so the comic is a no brainer.
This week I picked up two titles, while the wife picked up one. And I grabbed the free comic newspaper, so I could find out releases for next month because I need to make sure that I don't miss cross-overs with my new favorite characters. It was at this point that I realized I have become a comic book geek. And I'm okay with that. But it's all her fault.
