I'm almost ashamed/pathetically proud of how comic obsessed I am.
I love literature, the "classics" especially...
But well... I guess it's okay to like both? Shakespeare and Batman share space on my shelves.
I suppose it's because of my family- I'm so odd, an orphan who got fostered back into her birth family after a few years of house hopping. When I finally got to meet my father, he was very super-hero focused. You should see his toy collection. I tried to connect with him by reading what he read, which didn't actually work very well as he found it "inappropriate for girls", but eventually came to see in them characters I empathized with.
And, well, Batman... holds a special place in my heart. He's Iconic. And I identify with him, for more reasons than I could share.
As for the new issues, they are so much *prettier* aren't they?
