I've been going to his shop weekly for... 8 years now? And he's tried and tried and can never get me interested in more than, like, a one shot here or there? (I'd LOVE to get into some big time comics, but there are so many and I get overwhelmed) So me finding UA blew his mind- his gaping face when I walked in and told him to put me on an order form every time it released was priceless.
I don't move around much, nor do I anticipate it, so I'm pretty okay at sitting and collecting. I'd be all for tattoos (and I bet they look slamming!) but I have severe needle issues. :(
I mostly read UA to be all "yeah, ok, up to date with fandom" and somewhere I fell completely head over heels with it.
I have to go crash out for a bit, sickness + work = too exhausted. I have had to retype every third word of this so far. XD
Guh, my life. So tragic. I'll find some comic shop I adore, and ten minutes later I'm hauling my ass halfway across the country again.
This is not an exaggeration.
I relocated back to Chicago like, yesterday. Right after my tattoo guy from back in the day moved to LA because obvs my life is a wasteland
Yeeeah, I'm the opposite. I deal with stress/aging/headaches/split ends/cracks in sidewalks/days ending in "y"/etc with needles. I love getting tattoos. I just generally make myself wait until I really have a need, and then it has to mark some significant event, even if the subject matter is unrelated. But yeah, totally nerdy. Giant Hellboy back piece. Ohyeah.
NNNNGH I cannot wait for him to start putting out a third series!
