The Comics that got me into Comics.

When I think back to how I started reading and collecting comics, it all starts with my Dad. My Dad had a collection of comics given to him by one of his friends. At the time he didn't think anything of them, and neither did his friend. He kept them in an old duffel bag and he would let me go read them whenever I wanted and soon the collection became mine. But their were three in particular that I would read over and over again until I remembered them panel for panel. Those three would be Spider-Man #1 (Gold Edition), Nomad Vol. 2 #1, and Sleepwalker #3. There was something about those books that just called to me.

I fell immediately in love with Spider-Man. I watched the 1990s animated series and was lucky enough to watch the 2002 Spider-Man film in theaters. So this comic made me love the character even more! And Todd McFarlane's art and storytelling. WOW!

Nomad was such a cool comic and the character of Jack Monroe was unique as he felt betrayed by his country and felt like he was a man without a place. Roaming from town to town, city to city fighting criminals superheroes like Iron Man or his mentor Captain America wouldn't even worry about. I was hooked!

Sleepwalker is definitely a strange and unique character. 

He is really underrated in the Marvel catalog of characters. I think the thing that drew me to this comic was the cover. What a great cover! This is also Sleepwalker's origin issue, so you learn more about him and who he is. I wore this one out.

If you haven't read any of these issues, I highly recommend them. Spider-Man #1 is the start of the five part arc "Torment" which is incredible and Nomad #1 and Sleepwalker #3 are just fun reads. 

Thank you for reading my journey into comics and this is only the beginning. I promise a fun and entertaining blog all about the world of comic books!
