If you don’t know what a Meme is, it’s basically any idea that spreads and evolves, kind of like the telephone game you played as a kid where a string of people line up and one of them whispers a sentence, and you see what it ends up as when it gets to the end. It may be a perfect imitation or something entirely new.

So Andy sent this one my way. and since he directed it towards Comics Radar, I figured I would share 8 things about me that relate to comics.

8 things about John & Comics

1. When I was a child, I had my mom get me a summer membership to the city pool. But after she dropped me off, I would leave the pool and walk to the comic shop that was a short ways away.
2. I’ve never read Maus. I know it’s supposed to be one of the classics, but I’ve just never gotten around to doing.
3. I used to read comics with a Dictionary beside me. When I came across a word I didn’t know I would look it up. Then usually become very frustrated because words like “genetic” and “mutation” weren’t in the children’s Dictionary I had.
4. The only comic I have ever bought multiple covers of was the Transformers series when it first switched over to IDW.
5. I have an unhealthy obsession with CCGs and miniature games. Frequently buying boosters, packs or minis, and Inquest magazine, even though I never play.
6. I met my wife at a Vampire: The Masquerade LARP and proposed at a comic convention.
7. I own the first (I think) 9 issues of Rob Liefeld’s Youngblood, as well as the first three of Youngblood: Strikefiles and Team Youngblood #1.
8. I download a lot of comics from BitTorrent, but usually just end up deleting them because I need the hard drive space.

and now, I get to tag 8 other people to fill out the 8 things Meme.
Let’s go with:

1. Neil Gorman
2. Cunning Minx
3. CC Chapman
4. Bruce Rosenberg
5. Derek Coward
6. Aaron Macom
7. Mikel OD
8. Paul French

I just chose to do all of mine comic focused, I don’t expect others to do the same.
