First comic photo post (from 2016!)

So, I had started collecting comics properly in 2015. Before then, I had only read up on comics and characters via wikipedia and other sites to keep track of characters and such. I’ve liked comics characters since I was a kid in the 90’s watching all those shows and at some point in 2015 I got into a couple podcasts talking about comicbook movies and shows and comics from Marvel and DC and Star Wars, and when the hosts talked about comics, I wanted to know more about the characters I’d been enjoying in all the Marvel and DC movies and shows I’d been watching for years. This was a bit of a push that I needed and I dove into it. I started sharing these comic photos via twitter with the hosts of those podcasts and that lasted from 2016 ish till 2020. I paused while I was finishing Graduate school in 2018 and then I was backlogged with posting for a while after that. So during the end of 2019 and into 2020, I was clustering my photos. Then, of course, the pandemic hit and comics paused publishing. At that point it was a few months before comics came back, but that was way too many photos that I would be able to manage and thus, I still took photos of my comics when I got them, but I haven’t posted since then. I’ve been thinking about how I could continue that for a while now and when I started to think about this blog (which was initially only going to be my movie reactions/reviews) I made the connection that I could use this blog for archiving these photos as well as everything else I want to do here. So, as I’m writing this, I’m scrolling way back to 2016 posts I made to get these. The ones here were my first that I posted about back then (February 26, 2016).
