Am I a Traitor or I am finally giving in to reality?

I love DC! I will always have a soft spot for Detective Comics in my heart. They introduced me, enticed me and made me become the comic book enthusiast I am today. For all of that I must thank them. They gave me the adorable Harley Quinn with her sadistic relationship with the dangerously hilarious Joker and they also enlightened me with the beautiful Kara Starr from the Superman-verse but lately my affections have been waning slightly.

Harley Quinn, Kara Starr and even the Titans will still see blog posts from me, as well as the occasional Smallville update as I still love and will be reading the comics and buying the seasons. They just won’t and don’t have my undivided attention anymore. Zenescope with its Grimm Fairy Tales and new Charmed Comic books have grabbed a piece of my heart as well as DarkHorse with Angel and Buffy comics that I hope to start collecting in a few pay checks. My ultimate realization that DC was losing me as a diehard fan was when I realized how many Marvel comics I not only wanted but owned.

I have purchased the Anita Blake series from Marvel, which at first wasn’t all that bad because it wasn’t Marvel I was supporting but Laurell K. Hamilton as an author. Then a few weeks ago I purchased, read and loved Pixie Strike’s Back. I love Pixie, and innocent young girl with pink hair and beautiful wings that loses part of her soul and becomes a complex three-dimensional character. Now that I have met her through my comics I really want to start collecting backwards until I have most of her comics and then I can branch off into other X-men.

This isn’t a new interest for me as I have the old 90’s cartoon and was disappointed by the FOX attempt at motion pictures but in Comic Book form I am a traitor. I am no longer just a DC Fan but a Comic Book Fanatic that will read anything that interests me and all that I enjoy I will collect.

Detective Comics, you will always have a special place in my heart, but it is the Bat-verse that truly holds me and its connections with the Titans and Super-verse that I will read. Other than that my loyalties are now compromised and I will be reading Zenescope, Dark Horse, Marvel and any other comic books that happen to catch my attention.
