Jonathan, It was greatly appreciated, nonetheless! As you've seen (and are a part of!), we have an amazing group of people here, and we'll all continue to aim as high as we can in terms of the nature of any disagreements! That's why I love it here, and why I love you guys. I don't wanna get too deep here, but there is not much positive in my life. I don't wish my up bringing and living conditions on even my enemies. So I'm grateful for talking comics, and everyone involved. You guys are the best. I hope I can meet you guys and chop it up one day..

Jonathan, I can't speak for everyone here, but I would bet that for many of us, comic books were a way to shunt away the travails of ordinary existence, so as to be part of something larger than what our lives seemed prescribed for. Within this Forum, perhaps we are helping to create a place where-in those longings can take shape, if only through the creation of a community of friends free of the bile that infects so much of the internet. If you're ever going to be in our neck-of-the-woods (and this goes for everyone!), in particular during a convention, drop us a line, we're always up for a meet'n'greet!

I couldn't agree any more than I already do! Comics, in many ways, saved my life. It's a long story, one definitely more suited to be vocal, maybe one day I'll be able to share it. And I'm in Connecticut, it's not too far from you guys. I've also never been to a con before

I'm not going to lie, I'm a bit intimidated by it. I seriously doubt any of my siblings of friends will make that trip with me. They're not so into it

True. I will try, maybe I can some how bait one of my friends lol. It definitely is a dream of mine to get there one day. Hopefully this is the year. I really want some sketches and maybe even buy some original art
My girl embraces my love for this stuff, she's down to go. Only issue is her tough work schedule

Only issue is her tough work schedule Jonathan, We're already making progress! If you're looking for art, the Artists Alley at the NYCC is bigger than most cons all by itself!

They're not so into it NYCC isn't anywhere nearly as mind boggling at it may appear. I went there expecting to be overwhelmed, but for a con of its size it really is very easy to negotiate once you've walked the floor once and got the lay of the land. So as far as that side of things goes, you'll be fine no doubt!

It was all about the thrill of meeting of Bob for me. Kelly Sue was a smokescreen to hide my intention.

Thanks for the "heads up!" ps) This Spring, Marvel will be re-printing the original Night Nurse series from the Seventies in a trade! rrr
