A San Diego native, Mike has comics in his blood and has attended the San Diego Comic Con every year since 1982. His comic interests are as varied as his crimes against humanity, but he tends to lean heavily towards things rooted in dystopian themes. His favorite comic series is Warren Ellis’ and Darick Robertson’s Transmetropolitan. Spider Jerusalem is the best character ever devised. Mike realizes those statements will alienate a good portion of his potential audience, but those are the facts. You are unlikely to find a single collector with a better Transmetropolitan art portfolio than the one he has in his possession. He is an Assistant Editor for the upcoming Transmetropolitan Charity Book. He also occasionally freelances for various other comics websites, which he promotes through his homepage (www.comickarma.com), Twitter and other inherently intrusive forms of social media. Mike firmly believes that the best writers come from the UK. This could be because he’s of Irish descent; not so much based on physical geography as the fact that the Irish like to drink heavily.

When I volunteered for putting together a Top 10 list, my first inclination was this would be an easy process that essentially wrote itself. Instead, I found myself pouring through back issues and digging into the graphic archives of the Interwebs. My mission statement was clear: The Top 10 Comic Book Covers of the 80s. Who knew that it would be such a rigorous process, eventually taking me approximately 3 hours to compose?
One of the most unique facets of the comics collecting hobby is the acquisition of original art and commissioned pieces. For the uninitiated, most of the art featured within the pages of your favorite comics is a reproduction of an original art composition. The art is normally composed on specially sized 11 x 17 inch pages. For some enthusiasts, this original artwork represents a chance to own a piece of history. It can potentially be a great investment opportunity for the collector and it allows the artist an additional revenue stream. Some complications and monetary considerations make this specialized facet…
Deadpool Max #2 sees Wade Wilson unknowingly entrenched in a Mental Hospital. It’s easy to feel a kinship with the character, since actually buying this book is the equivalent to being clinically insane.
