Search Through The Back Issue Bins
My name is Kirk Warren and I’m a full time comic fan blowing my pay cheques on way too many comics every week.
Back in the early 90's, my mother bought me a Spider-Man comic to shut me up on a trip. I didn’t know it at the time, but that moment changed my life. Since then I've become a full blown comic fan and now purchase well in excess of 20 comics per month plus trades and other comic related goods.
As you can see, I've taken my hobby to the next step with this blog and it's allowed me to connect every single day with thousands of people that share the same passion I have for comics and I wouldn't change that for the world.

This was my favorite epilogue, or one-off, of Uncanny X-Men ever, right after Onslaught. Gambit's obsession with Joseph/Magneto still cracks me up; "Gambit? No, I'm 'James' (especially after noting Joe Mad's rendering of Gambit looking like Josh Holloway, from "Lost")."
Joe Madureira has the most bizarre understanding of anatomy I have ever seen. I remember this issue from back in the day and I totally thrown by how weird Beast's arms look. Plus, Scott isn't really a bodybuilder-type so why is he three hundred pounds of muscle here? I never understood the appeal of Joe Madureira....
It was something clean and new after all the Jim Lee/Rob Liefeldian Image knock-offs that Marvel had been dishing out since those guys defected.
I enjoy his art butHATE his work ethic (or lack thereof).
Unfortunately, Marvel did the same thing with Joe Mad as with the Image guys. So instead of poor Jim Lee clones we got the Marvel age of "American/Manga".
