The Gateway Drug

 
So I was at my local comic book shop, which I am growing rather fond of, and my Comic Book Guy has decided I need to read Marvel. Technically I already am reading Marvel because of Anita Blake but I believe he meant ‘real’ or ‘classic’ Marvel. He is a Spiderman fan I believe and gave me a nice deal to try and persuade me into purchasing a Marvel trade.

I now own X23’s comic books and will find out soon is Marvel is for me. I assume I will like her as I grew very fond of her when I was reading Pixie Strike’s Back. I also own the animated series of X-men and a few Marvel movies so I can’t say I hate Marvel or I have never experienced it, I just have a soft emotional spot for my DC characters such as Power Girl with her magnificent boobs and Harley Quinn with her innocent and naive personality and her abusive relationship.

In the Marvel Universe I do have favourites, I love Rogue, always have and always will. I even named my pet after Rogue, I also really enjoy Mystique and have now realized I have a strong attachment to Pixie.  I also really enjoy Wolverine/Logan, but I have to give more love to my female characters, as it only seems right.

Slowly but surely I am looking beyond the X-men universe at Marvel and I am really enjoying Iron Man, Hulk and Thor and am very excited for the movies to be made and to see the Avengers but I would be even more excited if DC was able to pull together a J.S.A. movie. I know they have the ability to create something great after watching Smallville and truly hope that are able to seize the opportunity and give their fans what they have been waiting for. Make a Batman Superman movie (I know it’ll never happen but I can hope) with Smallville actors for the Superman cast and then move forward to create either a J.S.A. television show that truly has potential or a movie that could be remarkable if done right.
 
Wow, I start this blog trying to talk about my Comic Book Guy and his Gateway Drug (X23) to Marvel and I go on a DC desire rant. I suppose I will always be a DC fan, and I will try to expand my love for all comic books.

DC and Zenescope truly have a large place in my heart but I also truly love DarkHorse, Marvel and many other companies that produce amazing stories in comic book form.
