Review time

The truth is, I don't have very many American comics. The reason why: to get rid of the hole in my pocket. I would have all the comic books in the world, but I don't know what to buy or have the money to do it. I am hoping that if I get a job I will do comic book hunting.

Michelle and I decided that when we are in NY we will drop by the comic book store and buy a comic book every week or so. We all in fact buy each other comics and force the other to read them. This means I could be reading the latest addition of some mini comic based off of aqua man, and she could be reading a children's story. This is for research and to explore the minds of the lovely creature "The Comic Book Artist".

When we do this, I decided that I would provide a little review for each book. Looking over comics, and seeing how they can be better actually helps me improve. I may even tell my opinion on movies. Not very many people see this journal thing so it's mostly for me, but anyone can comment these if they want with an opinion.

I may review the comics I already have which are Johnny the Homicidal Maniac, I Feel Sick Issue 1,I Feel Sick Issue 2,Emo Boy vol.1, Emo Boy vol.2, Serenity Rose vol.1,Next Exit, Nightmares and Fairy tales, and Awakening 1-3. I also have a book two book shelves full of manga, but there is no way I am going to review 60+ manga. You can't pay me to do it--well...maybe you can, but still!

Anyway this seems fun, and I can collect my thoughts in one spot. =)

Before I sleep news: The Mind-Tricks account actually seems to be doing well. I have 18 watchers, which I like. I feel kind of strange though, because I don't take my comic book seriously. I mean I do, I'm crazy with literary work, and I make sure BIS is 100% perfect but...let's just say when someone tells me they like it, I question them. I mean with friends, I am okay because they know me and they know my work, but when a professional tells me they like me or a stranger tells me it's good, I put on a weird face. I think that if someone were to come up to me and tell me how amazing the storyline is I'd give a funky look at say "I'm sorry, are you mad?". To tell the truth, I get used to people liking Before I Sleep for the fact that I made it. I mean people are like "Hey a comic book from my fellow high school friend!", and that's cool because I do that, but to take Doodle seriously? I'm sitting here wondering why the hell am I doing this. Before I Sleep looking like a dorky web comic. But that's MY opinion. I'm not really moping about it until I fail miserably and people are throwing tomatoes. I'm perfectly fine with a small fan base. I even LIKE not being very big. If one person asked me to sign there book (in fantasy land that I get published), I would die happy. Let's just say, I wouldn't want more. The only thing I want more of, is to see people's faces when they come up to me and say "DEWDLE!"
