the aftermath is mostly on the X-books. If your were reading New X-Men back in the day you would quickly see the consequences.
I still have the highest number anyone has thrown out, at 37.
It doesn't seem right that I'm 37, though. I'm nothing like what a 37-year-old was when I was a kid. I guess I haven't really done any hard living to age me as terribly as people aged back then. And I spend a lot more time thinking about Star Wars and comics than adults from my childhood.
I'm 25 and felt old as shit when I was talking to my friend about how he's getting his deck replaced.
We just want good old fashioned stories that introduce characters in a natural and progressive way.
Oh it's absolute nonsense
Fantastic
It did and then did so well in the US that Toonami funded the second season. Until FLCL S2&3 it was the only time that'd happened
But what if I want bearded Aquaman?
Also I totally didn't know who Meltzer was until you dropped this quote.
I'm not sure if 30s looks different now, or if we're just bad at growing up lol.
Ah, the right age.
You have hair growing? You're not old, then.
I'm 30, still young, still living. And I've got the urge to get back into skateboarding.

Children, please don't forget to floss regularly.
Just waiting for that "Gwenpool's Epic Victory Royale" announcement at NYCC.
While we're on the topic of age, what were the first comics y'all remember reading?
For me, it was probably The Simpsons comic. The first superhero runs I read were Johns on Teen Titans and Uncanny X-Men by... Chuck Austen.
Happy birthday! I'm guessing you don't have plans since you just noticed, but I hope it's fun! I hope you are old!

Amazing Fantasy #15 lol
Think my first comic that wasn't in a trade was something from Amazing Spider-Man by JMS. Think it was an issue with Ezekiel.

I didn't like this but I'll be honest. ...Gwen would totally floss, wouldn't she?
Some Asterix volume, don't exactly remember which. Possibly Asterix in Britain?
Read a lot of Richie Rich that summer too.
Thinking back, that was a very odd tone/setting for a kids comic.
Started reading comics in 2012 with New52 but then started to read Ultimate Spider-Man and got hocked.
Only realized PR had Comic Book Stores like 2 years later since the one nearest to me was almost an hour drive.

I read stuff like newspaper strips and Disney Adventures before any full-on comic books. Then I think my first full comic books were probably random Disney things too.
For superheroes, I think it was Excalibur.

Wow am i really gonna be the youngest one here
I got into superheroes after watching many youtube videos from comicsExplained and i jumped in around the time of DC Rebirth and ANAD, just picked up what looked interesting.
Happy birthday invisible man!
For me it was either some Mortadelo & Filemón comics or Asterix and the Mansions of the Gods.

I remember going for a holiday via ferry to England when I was very small, and the comics I was given (because I was and still am a nervous traveller) had:
and to the shock of no-one:
There was also a big bundle of Avengers comics which had this reprinted in it (man, what an issue to start with):
Other than that: probably Power Rangers comics, and sneaking a look at my brother's 2000 ADs every so often. Started reading Marvel regularly when Panini started doing their UK reprints with the cardstock covers (the first issue I read has a NSFW cover so I won't put it here, but it was knee-deep in the Clone Saga so that gives you a rough idea). Didn't actually get into much DC until I got an "Ultimate Guide to the JLA" a few years later for Christmas and started reading the Morrison/Waid stuff because I gorged on the lore and loved the idea of legacy heroes.
Started going to comic shops roughly when Dreamwave started publishing their Transformers comics.

I really didn't like comics with ongoing stories for a long time. I didn't buy them consistently enough for that. So I would get lots of back issues for things like Marvel Team-Up. I didn't want anything that wasn't done-in-one stories.
Marvel Team-Up was great for a new reader, because you always had the constant of Spider-Man, while also getting to constantly meet new characters.
