Thank You For Coming Here! Please Introduce Yourself!

[Gail Simone]

If you are from CBR, or from another Jinxworld board, or from somewhere else in the great interdoodle, thanks for coming here to this happy place of magic and dreams and crack.

Except not so much about the dreams.

I think there are going to be some new people here who haven't met each other, so even if you are a CBR or BenBo veteran, please take a moment to tell us just a little about who you are, where you live, what you do, and maybe what comics you like, okay?

It's much appreciated!

I'm here, I'm queer, I'm at work (and not supposed to be posting).

so I'll come back and edit more info later !

EDIT:

K. . bit more about me 43 years old, out and proud gay man. I've been with my partner for over 6 & 1/2 years (our anniversary is so easy to remember, he's dead meat if he ever forgets: 1/23/4).

anyways, I've come over from CBR, where I was a member since Waaaaaaay back when (purple and green bulliten board format).

I became more or less a regular on the YABS board there 4-5 years ago.

I buy a LOT of comics. . and I make good money. But I'm very vocal about what I will, and will not spend my money on.

(helping a friend in need? absolutely. paying $3.99 for a 32 page comic book (with ads) from one of the major publishers? not likely).


Oh, and I don't buy anything from Marvel.

haven't for many, many years.

I do pick up trades from Cons when I can find them very cheap, but I don't support any "new" Marvel comics, due to attitudes (both homophobic and juvenile) that have really come to the forefront under Quesada.

Oh, and I tend not to lie. So if I'm telling you something, you can usually believe the statement to be a true representation of either the facts, or my feelings.

I'm Ray, I'm the Bendis Board's resident posting champion/complete lunatic.

I've been following Gail ever since her original BOP run, but I never really got to post on the CBR boards outside of a select few posts that interested me.

I'm generally a pretty nice guy. I have a reputation for being a big bad board Conservative, but I'm mostly a social liberal, just a conservative on other things, so I doubt we'll be fighting. Too much.

I'm in The Gathering. Buy The Gathering.

I am a kinda CBR veteran, kinda sorta.

I grew up in NJ, went to college in Boston and now I am living in Virginia, just south of Washington, DC. I have several cats and a dog and I do a lot of work with animal rescue groups in my area. I repair computers for a living.

I generally read both DC and Marvel but lately been leaning a lot more towards Marvel.

My three favorite characters are Nightcrawler, Kitty Pryde and Ted Kord\Blue Beetle......

Also I have been really into Doctor Who since I was a teen.

One more time!

Hi, I'm Shelly or Shel. I can be found hiding out in the Ouachita Mountains minutes away from America's first National Park. Screw that Ken Burns guy, he didn't do his research. The US Mint knows the score!

I'm a freelance web designer and retail slave. I haven't actually read a comic in six months or so and due to financial constraints decided that was probably a good reason to stop buying them for awhile.

[I've Got the Monkeys]

I'm I've Got The Monkeys.

I have the monkeys. I'll set them free.

I'm the quiet one, who you'll never suspect.

I'm from the East Coast. I'm a fan of Red Dwarf, Discworld, Schlock Mercenary, That Guy with the Glasses, and a large majority of Marvel and DC's output.

I'm still waiting for Agent X to be collected. (Gus Beezer too). [/Shameless Pandering]

[Kevin T Brown]

Hello. I'm Kevin and I'm an alco..... whoops, wrong place for that. Let's try again.


You can see the name. I'm not exactly a "low profile" kinda guy.

Married, in the Chicago area, 47 years of age (physically at least), and, as you can see, Bears fan.

Not sure about this place yet, but at least there are familiar "faces" about. I'll give it a try.
