I HATE THEM! It's so satisfying to just flick through box after box of comics rather than just ordering them off the net.

South Wales? Newport FTW!!

Im in the top 20% of ages here, but since one of the entries is 37 - 40, Im more likely in the top 10% because Im officially 40.

Let me sound like an old fogey (although some can do it even worse than this I'm sure)...

Son....back in my..a day, you could buy a comic for Thirtey Five-a Cents!

I got comics older than a lot of you boys on here. And no, I didnt buy them off ebay or the LCS in the last year or 2. I bought them when they wuz brand new!

I think myron summed up the 20's, 30's and 40's best.

To me 40 is when you realize you should have been smarter in your 20's so you had everything you needed in your 30s and should have it paid for by your 40s, so you can retire by 50 and not be working till your 60's and 70s like I'll probably do.

40 is when you get the mid-life report card.

Not that I have any experience with this sort of thing

but a urologist who's last name is Payne should consider having it changed.

I'm in the younger percentile at 25. Does that mean I have sophisticated tastes or something? I was 10-12 when I read my first Valiant, (Eternal Warrior #10, I think shortly followed by Bloodshot #6) and I was lost with both titles. So it took me unil I was 16-17 and was in Texas, pretty board and wantting some comics, to get hooked. The only comics I could find were at this local Bi-Lo type Store, and they were all Valiants, mostly from the DeathMate era, but they impressed me enough to check out all that Valiant had to offer. I think what did it was some of the art and coloring from the DeathMate comics, the series had me lost cause I had no idea how to put them in chronological order, and still makes little sence, but I loved the watercolor and color pencil work. The comic that got me story, art, and all, I think was X-O #17. I never liked Iron Man's character too much, but thought the armor was great, and here was this sort of anti-hero like Iron Man, minus the alchoholic arrogant prick attitude.
