Astonishing New Hobby
Comic books. Something I never really attempted to get into. With so much backstory, where do I start? Well, my girlfriend has been going to a comic book shop close to my house, and she said any issue is relatively a fine start. With that, I was quite excited to make with her my first comic book shop visit when I went home for Thanksgiving break!
I picked out the latest three Astonishing X-Men comics, having been a fan of them (and Spider-Man) since their 1994 Saturday morning cartoons. (Fun fact: Joss Whedon wrote for this series' first few years back in 2004!) I read the first so far and quite enjoyed it.
But here's the worst part: I went to my local comic book shop down here at school, to get my roommate a Christmas gift, and picked up two more Astonishing X-Men (this week's latest issue, the start of a new story, and one from a few months ago to have a full story-arc). I just had to know what I missed, and what happens next!
What have I gotten myself into‽ Well, it's pretty awesome. I should probably branch out though, get some Cap, Thor, Deadpool, and maybe even see what DC's new 52 is up to...
