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.
