COMIC BOOK READING RESOLUTION!

Hey hey, it's a brand new year and once again I have plans and hopes and dreams that are comic book filled. I hope to read a lot of comic books, get caught up in the series I've let pile up, look back at old trades that have gathered up some dust and find a few new things to add to my collection. I love my comics, and as I have had to let a few collections go I just can't part with my comic books. This year I'll update on Wednesday's with my weekly pull list of what I plan to buy. On Monday and Friday I would like to share comic book covers, or do some comic book reviews. It's all about sharing the comic books that I love so much! Let's all get some reading done! Remember: COMIC BOOKS KICK ASS!!!

Comic Con 2010 Begins

I, Cat am in San Diego and I am attending the San Diego Comic Con!



I am so excited to be in San Diego and have been brimming with excitement since the month of July began.

Preview night began this Wednesday and I have already bought 40+ comic books, 2 A-Team Posters (don't judge me!) and a toy for my niece. The SWAG has included a few t-shirts, buttons, rings and a mask!



Comic Con is definitely off to a fantastic start! Badges were picked up easily and wandering the halls was a lot of fun. I cannot wait for the first full day to begin. I've got a plan to buy lots of comic books, snag a few toy exclusives and then get back to the comic books, as I want a lot, remember?

Then there's the panels, movie panels! I've got my Thursday/Friday schedule in order, it all just comes down to deciding whether or not I want to tie myself to a chair for a whole day...hmmm...the back issues are a callin'.

But, Comic Con is going to be great, each year I have more and more fun. I plan to seek out FLYNN'S ARCADE and live out a TRON fantasy. I cannot wait to hang with my fellow geeky friends! I am sooo excited about just finding old dollar bins and filling in my comic book collection with back issues. Maybe I can track down DAN JURGENS again and gush again about my Love of BOOSTER GOLD! (I got a few comments on my t-shirt today! Let's hear it the BOOSTER GOLD FAN CLUB!)

This it's truly one of my most favorite times of year and I hope everyone attending Comic Con has as much fun as I'm having! YUP YUP YUP!

RAH! RAH! RAH! It's time for Comic Con! Whooo! Hooooo!!

Cat Reads Comics Begins!

This is the year I give my comic book collection some long overdue attention. Being the movie going fanatic that I am my comics have gathered some dust and my "read-it" pile grows even higher.

Now, I've been collecting comic books since I was a young girl and it all began with Book Castle in Burbank who sold comics for a quarter each, four for a dollar! That fateful day that I began flipping through their rows of long boxes I found some Superman books and an Action Comics issue with BOOSTER GOLD beating up SUPERMAN. I wondered who could be doing such a thing to the Man of Steel and before long I was on a mission to collect all 25 issues of the Man of Gold!



I kept going to Book Castle, buying more and more books, mostly old DC and Marvel books; Team-Ups, Two-In-Ones, Batman, Superman, Fantastic Four, Angel Love and I'd read this and that. It wasn't really until THE DEATH OF SUPERMAN that I got myself a bit up to date and really started buying new books each week, mostly at GOLDEN APPLE on melrose. When I went off to college I continued buying books weekly thanks to LEE'S COMICS in San Mateo and that's where I got into more indie titles.

There came the day that I really had to organize my collection and things got bagged and boarded and boxed in long boxes. I went to comic book conventions and dived into the back issue bins filling in gaps and appeasing my "collector mentality" as I strived for complete runs on old series. I still love going to conventions, like San Diego Comic Con where I splurge on lots and lots of comic books!

I just recently filed away a mountain of comic books, including my haul from this past Summer's COMIC CON adding 3 long boxes to my collection. That brings my grand total to 67 boxes, each one filled up!



Now, here at this new blog spot, "CAT READS COMICS," I hope to get myself focused on reading my comic books! I do love reading my comics, I just get distracted quite easily.

I've filled up a short box with a few different comic books and the reading has begun! Each Wednesday I plan to post about a series I've just read. I'm going to be going through some old books and be catching up on current story-lines. You can expect a few ramblings on my favorite BOOSTER GOLD, I warn you now. I'll also do write ups about buying comics at cons, and sharing cool covers I come across.

Over on the sidebar I'll update my weekly pull list and you can see what I regularly collect. Perhaps when I buy I'll say which shop I went to as I like a few different stores here in Los Angeles.

Tomorrow (January 13th) I'll put up a comic book post and I hope who ever reads this enjoys my take on comic books!

Up, Up and away!!

Comic Books Kick Ass!!
