Wednesday Already

OH HI.

I’m Scott, i’m the co-reviewer for Wednesday Already. Unlike Justin, i’ve only recently been getting back into reading comics weekly. I’m taking this as an opportunity to review books from something of an outsider’s perspective. Not long ago I walked into the LCS and ended up frustrated as to what to buy.

This is a problem, folks. If I, as a reader of comics for over a decade can get discouraged at where to dig into a few weekly books, what does that say for a new reader or (gasp) some kid who wants to get into comics? I hadn’t been out of the game that long, and already everything had chugged along so far I was lost. So in my column i’ll be establishing a new pull list. Picking up a few books a week, and deciding if I should Pull or Drop each one. If the book is good enough to warrant another buy, i’ll keep picking it up. This will hopefully strike a nice balance, allowing someone with a knowledge of comics to rate each individual books accessiblity.

I grew up on a steady diet of X-Men books but my current taste is… well, I have no idea. I love Runaways, but I Wait For The Trade on that one. I’m an unabashed Bendis apologist and read most of his stuff. I’ll update this later as the column evolves as does my pull list.

If anything technical comes up, let Justin know. I don’t know anything about this shit.

Also if you want to contact me for any reason, feel free. I’m fun as fuck.

Clean your room.

Yes, I know it’s Saturday. Shut up.

I am internet user Justin. Scott and I decided the internet needs another website. This one is about comic books. I have pretty much always loved comics. I think the first ones I read (beyond old Archie digests just lying around the house) was the Archie version of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. And the first “real” superhero book was probably this anti-drug Spidey book. But now I fucking hate Spider-man because he’s a loser and a whiny jerk. I like Batman instead. BECAUSE HE’S NOT WHINY OR A JERK AT ALL (lol yeah).

I read a lot of DC stuff and a handful of Marvel and an even smaller handful of others. I used to be into indie-er stuff but I can’t afford to be, since I wind up spending like $45 every week just on cape books. It’s pretty ridiculous, really.

The site’s not really entirely setup right yet. Comments will look ugly and stuff. But I’ll get around to doing that soon. If there’s anything technical to complain about, direct it at me, that stuff’s all my job. Scott is just riding on my sexy coattails.

Oh, and we’re both going to Comic-Con in San Diego this year. We will have REPORTS FROM THE FIELD. It’ll be awesome, we swear.

It will probably quickly become clear what our opinions are on things. The site will be mostly reviews of books and reviews of rumours. Stay tuned for more! Tell your friends! And people you don’t even like, I guess.
