Welcome Back!

The triple T joined the Realms on 10/25/05 and has interests in justice and clix.

When did you start reading comic books?

TTT: as long as i can remember i've had comics, but i avidly started collecting and reading about 2 years ago, and its really spiked recently.

What or who got you started?

TTT:spiderman, plain and simple. as a kid i was enthralled by spidey.

What do you like most about comic books? Least? most?

TTT: probably the epic action, the world threatening villain being thwarted by the hero who through determination and the X factor of each hero saves us all. least? the generalizations people make of comic readers.

What is your favorite title? Why?

TTT: hmmm. either Daredevil vs. Punisher, Deadpools mini series from the nineties, or X-Statix. wait, nevermind i cant pick.

Who is your favorite/least favorite comic character? Why?

TTT: favorite would be spidey, but captain america, flash and deadpool come in close. each have there own reasons, but cap's undying tenacity, springs up. least? i dotn really have a least, maybe Bishop, i just dont like Bishop.

If your favorite comic book character is a hero, who is your favorite villain? If it’s a villain, who’s your favorite hero? Why?

TTT: favorites villain? Doctor Doom, since hes the ultimate villain of all time as far as i can tell.

What is your favorite/least favorite hero team? Villain team? Why?

TTT: favorite team is the Avengers, earths mightiest heroes, because nothing can keep them down. villain team is the syndicate, best band of superpowered nutcases in history.

Who is your favorite/least favorite comic writer? Why?

TTT: favorite is David Lapham, something about the way he captures the grit and reality of heroes and villains. and least is whoever is writing Ant-Man right now, or started the series anyway.

Who is your favorite comic artist? Why?

TTT: artist Mike Allred, i just like his simple art, basic cartoony characters, its a nice change. DS Note: Mike Allred is from the same community that I currently live in.

How many comics do you read on a monthly basis?

TTT: 4 as of this month, but a few months back it was about 9

How much do you spend on comics monthly?

TTT: currently about 20.00

About how many comic books do you own?

TTT: well, as i dont compulsively count my books, im gonna have to guess...200,000...i think

What is your favorite comic era- the Golden Age (1930’s-1950’s), the Silver Age (1950’s-1980’s), or the Bronze Age (1980’s to present)?

TTT: i like the current runs, but silver age does it for me. Old Avenger issues, with the one liners from everyone really make me smile.

What changes would you like to see in the comic book medium?

TTT: none, i like it the way it is,

What is more important to you: good stories or continuity? Why?

TTT: good stories, a series that the story ends every issue and a new one picks up in the next is a-ok with me, but, if they try to stick to the past facts, that doesn't hurt.

Do you only read comics from one company? If so which one and why?

TTT: nope, im equal opportunist.

Pitch 5 comic series, Graphic Novels, or trades to members of HCrealms.

TTT:

• X-Statix, we all know about these guys, its hilarious.
• Batman, long halloween, good look at batman but a better look at his villains.
• Daredevil Vs. Punisher, made me a DD and Punisher fan.
• Tales of the Unexpected, its written by Lapham, its all blood, gore, and Spectre, how can you lose?
• and...lets just say Civil War, just so we all know which way i lean.

What is your favorite comic-related movie to date?

TTT: probably Ghost Rider

If you watch comic-related cartoons, which has been your favorite?

TTT: the Spiderman series on Fox.

What do you like about the comic forums of HCrealms? What do you dislike?

TTT: nothing, i think its a good forum for opinion.

How can HCrealms improve the comic forums, to better suit the needs of the comic book readers who used the site?

TTT: maybe sorted by titles?

What would you like HCrealms comic readers to know about you, in regards to you as a comic reader/collector?

TTT: I think that comics are the major art medium of today, the writers are our storytellers, and no matter what anyone says, i think that they are doing a damn good job.


Thanks TheTwoToner!

Come back soon for another interview!

still... no nazi's mentioned, no Bradgelina... not even a hare' kirshna. What is this world coming to?

Funny thing, I love most of Kirkman's writing but couldn't make it past 2 issues of Ant-man.

"Kirkman"... sounds like a nazi-ish name... hmm...

Who is this "TheTwoToner" and why do I have the sudden urge to skank whenever I hear that name?

Seriously, though, I'm banging my knife against my champagne glass. Come say hello to the common folk.

No pitch for Stray Bullets?

to me, the name made me think of an old cannon bubble-jet printer.

not a canon bubble jet, but a good guess, the skanking is the right thing to do milo. and yeah, i really dropped the ball by not plugging for stray bullets...seriously...tahts the reason i found Lapham. i would also like to add Leinil Yu as a favorite artist

it's when Milo mentions "Shanking" you, then you worry. That, of course, is prison talk for stabbing you.

and so im not worried, he just wants to dance (...its a street term)

it's when he wants to do the horizontal rhumba with you that you start to worry.
