“Heroes, Villains, and Me” is a periodic article on Geeky KOOL by Larry Litle about the world of comic books and my reaction to it. “Heroes, Villains, and Me” is not a comic book review article. I will write about current events, speculation and rumors, or my own wacky thoughts about the world of comic books.
Over the last year, I have slacked heavily on my comic book reading. I continued to purchase the same number of comics but not reading them regularly. In my stress, I had lost my passion and joy for reading comics.
When I made time to read comics, I really enjoyed this past time. But I rarely made time to read. I found myself overwhelmed with life and the pure number of comics I had to read. I was months behind.
I made a decision. I committed myself to read daily. I would make time to read my comics. I would spend time reading comics no matter what.
After all, comics have always been a part of my life. My father read comics before I was born. Some of my earliest memories were reading comics. When I broke my arm at age 6, comics became my escape.
I didn’t have a lot of friends as a kid . My younger sisters were the only kids I spent much time playing with because we lived way out in the country. The comic book heroes, especially Spider-Man and Captain America, were my friends and playmates in my imagination.
I slowly started reading my ton of comics. I read several comics titles like Amazing Spider-Man, Ms Marvel, Captain Marvel, Spidey, Daredevil, Future Quest, and many more. I binge read months worth of series at a time.
I fell in love with reading comics again. I had a ton of fun jumping back into these worlds. I smiled ear to ear when reading a few of the comics. Spidey and Ms Marvel both brought out my in geek boy. They made me feel like I did as a kid reading Amazing Spider-Man. Captain Marvel is a fun super hero space adventure and makes me smile. I found my joy of reading comic books once again. Oh how I have missed it.
