Tons of new followers lately, which is awesome! Welcome🤗

So hi there! I'm Vinson, I love to talk about comics (new and old) and have been a collector for over 40 years

As we chat comics you'll likely get a follow back, esp with a whole buncha folks at once

I love to add to a positive Comicsky ❤️
My comic long boxes with art and some clamshelled books above My comic sorting table and the dog's kennels lol A closeup above my long boxes, with an original commission by Mike Grell plus the clamshells to go with it A closeup of the "Savage Empire" comic strip in the Chicago Star signed by Mike Grell, the prototype that became Warlord, which I am a huge fan

Definitely comes down to two very different questions;

Who do -you- want to win?

Who do you -think- will win?

Yeah! Roy threw a lot on him to get into the book so a lot of dense pages, but boy is it nice

I need to reread SMT, that book was so good

It really brings out Bolland's line work!

I enjoyed it but not everything is for everyone 😊
vinsonlovescomics.bsky.social
Both stories were great! I bought quite a few of these off the spinner as a fresh DC comics convert wanting to know more about them

These and Who's Who

Just such a refreshing and crazy read lol
vinsonlovescomics.bsky.social
Like, I've read plenty of good books in my day but it's been a long time since I've been THIS hooked to a book
vinsonlovescomics.bsky.social
I'm excited for book 8 in May! Once I'm caught up I'm def going to join the subreddit

I'm just shocked at how fun it is lol
vinsonlovescomics.bsky.social
Absolutely agree, it had a great variety and a little bit for everyone
vinsonlovescomics.bsky.social
I'm normally a pretty slow reader, but being on a relaxing sabbatical gives me more time

And holy moly am I addicted to the series! I just finished book 3 and Dungeon Crawler Carl is such stupid fun, I love it 🥰

Plus I found out @mattdinniman.bsky.social is local, how cool!
Cover to book 3
