I was never a huge fan of comic books growing up. I wasn't even a fan of the superhero Saturday morning cartoons growing up. So where I got my fascination with comics is a little unclear. But I can remember making my own comics as long ago as 4th grade (which is 12 years ago now!). But after I started making comics, I then started to become interested in other comics that were out there.
I still do not keep up with comic books by and large, with one exception. A few months ago my girlfriend talked me into going to the local comic shop. I wasn't sure I'd find anything, but sure enough there was one series I was interested in.
Sonic the Hedgehog comics weds two of my great pasttimes: comics (in some form or another) and video games. Growing up, a Sega Genesis was my first gaming system, so I grew up on the Blue Blur and his pals. Being able to revisit their world now that I am much older has been an enjoyable experience.
Stay tuned in the future as I may do my videocast about Heroes and Dreams, the local comic book shop that I frequent to get my Sonic fix.

As weird as it is, I never got into comics until I was in high school. I got my cartoon fix from Saturday morning cartoons, not comic books. When I got to high school I was interested in themes that weren't really shown on TV, so I got into comics, for the first time, that were dark and dramatic.
