Jasandyc wrote:Hi, guys. I've been listening to the podcasts for a while now, and I figured I'd get a little more involved. I'll just answer the questions:

What is your real name? Jason
How old are you? 45
What do you do for a living? Custodian at Mayo Clinic, Rochester, Minnesota
What kinds of comic books do you like? Geez, what kind of comics do I not like? I used to be a complete Marvel Zombie, but I've begun gravitating more towards horror and sci-fi titles from Image, IDW, as well as the New Age of Heroes from DC. The X-Titles are still number one for me, though.
About how many comic book issues a week/month do you buy? I'm buying around 60-70 new comics a month, plus back issues
Do you buy mainly issues, trades, digital? I buy almost all single issues, plus 1-2 trades per month
How many do you read every week/month? I (try to) read all my new comics per month, plus as many back issues as I can make it through
How long have you been reading comics? I started reading comics on March 13, 1986. On my thirteenth, my aunt gave me a three pack of Marvels containing Transformers #1-3
How long have you been listening to the Comic Book Page podcast? About two years, I think
Do you submit clips to the Previews Spotlight episodes? (If not, why not?) I have not. I plan to in the future, though

I also want to thank John Mayo for devoting all the time he does to doing all this for his fellow collectors. I can't imagine the amount of time he invests, but it is greatly appreciated.

Jason C.

Dear Jason,
Welcome to the forum.
If you get a chance, give a shoutout to your LCS in Rochester, Minnesota.
And let us know what back issues are you picking up.
Also, when your ready, submit a clip to the Previews Spotlight episode. And had fun recording your recommendations.

Jason

My name is Patrick from New Jersey.
My local comic shop is Conquest Comics.
I am 34 and a plumber.
I have read X-Men from the 90's reboot and watched the cartoon. I collected only Marvel as a kid. I stopped reading comic books for about 20 years. I just started to collect again this year. As of right now I buy mostly floppies. I don't like D/C but do read Batman. I still love my Marvel tho. Image is good and I pick randoms from the "back of the book".
I never counted before but I must pick up around 40 - 60 books a month. Shhh! Don't tell the wife.
I only read when I can so I have a good stack going right now ha! Maybe 10 a week.
I have been listening to the podcast for about 3 months. I wanted to do the preview spotlight but went on a cruise and didn't send in on time. Next month I'll be on! Love listening to them.
Keep up the good work guys.

Pull list: X-Men red, weapon h, domino, avengers, Mr and Mrs X, marvel 2 in 1 (dropping), fantastic four, venom (if not reading then missing out), Hulk (also missing out), Batman, dead rabbit, random 6 issue image and TMNT. a childhood fav.

I was introduced to the comics world with Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends. My younger brother and I started collecting Spider-Man comics when our friend got us Heroes Reborn, I believe. It was right in the middle of the Clone Saga. After awhile, we stopped collecting. When Superman Returns came out, my sister and I watched it and I have been back into comics since. Nowadays, I read Superman, sometimes Flash, Shazam (loving it), Freedom Fighters (Oh, yeah!), and certain DC event titles. I also dabble in some Image, Ninja Turtles, The Wrong Earth, Astro City, and other indies here and there.

Besides comics, I enjoy video games, anime, Super Sentai, and some old cartoons. I'm also self-teaching myself kung fu and a self-proclaimed environmentalist.

I don't submit to Previews Spotlight because I don't want to be spoiled on future events.

I'm currently a DCUniverse subscriber and am enjoying the old comics as well and the old and new shows! Titans, Young Justice, and Doom Patrol, anyone? My hope here is to make friends, so we can all share our love of the medium. Thank you John, Sam, Drew, James and all who make this place possible and alive.
