So I love Wil Wheaton. He’s a great writer, a huge geek, and he has the bonus cred of having been on Star Trek. He trumps us all.

That said, he wrote a piece that nailed how I got back into comics in the last two years. Yeah, I know this is like, two months old, but its been open in a tab in Safari ever since then, and I’ve been meaning to post it, I’ve just be busy, okay? (Okay, I’ve been lazy shutup)

Man, have I fallen off the wagon.

Hard.

…But still, I didn’t want to get sucked back into reading Batman, Detective, Robin, Dark Knight, and Batman We Really Don’t Have A Reason To Put Out This Book But We’re Going To Anyway Because It’s Batman And Batman Geeks Like Wheaton Will Buy It. Partly this was due to financial considerations, but mostly it’s because I just don’t have the time.

…When I was up at 12:30 this morning, sitting on the floor in my office, surrounded by the books I’d bought, I had a flashback to 10th grade, and I knew it was time to admit it:

I have a comic problem.

It’s not a big deal, though. I can stop reading any time I want to, and even scale back to just a few trades every few . . . months . . . so I don’t . . . go . . . to the comic shop . . . every . . . week. . .

. . .

OH MY GOD I CAN’T IMAGINE LIFE WITHOUT MY COMIC BOOKS SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME.

Yup Wil, that about nails it.
