[EZMOHR]

Hi, my name is EZ MOHR, I have lurked here a lot in my four years...but never really came by that often until the last couple of weeks. This forum is starting to become a favorite, as it has things I like to talk about in it a lot.

For those who don't know me, I'm 29 years old, I live in the Bay Area, I've been married for 10 years, I have 7 children (6 Girls, 1 Boy), I'm a police Sgt., I work patrol in a major US City, and I'm on the SWAT team.

Anyway, love the forum, like the writer who's involved(like her personality and topics...not so much her comic book writing for the most part) and hope to look more and post more. Thanks.

[joeyblues]

Hi

I've been lurking on these boards more and more often of late
as I drift around CBR in search of interesting debate, so figured it's time I introduced myself (besides the fact it'd be rude to join in without doing so)

I'm Joey(Deacon)Blues, or Tom in the real world
I'm a male and a youth/community worker.

I've only just returned to comics proper in the last year or so after a ten year break.

although I did keep up with selected Trades from Vertigo, Max and 2000ad
plus the odd batman and strangely enough Birds of Prey.
(Strange because it was a rare exception and not what brought me here)

Nowadays I've been enticed back into the comic shop for super hero flipantry (in the form of Spiderman and Captain Britain) but I still can't handle proper literary comics at the glacial pace of 22 pages a month so trades & books are more my thing.

I'm starting to bore myself now so I'll Stop.

Peace & Happiness
JoeyBlues

Oh, and i have sadly failed to learn any language other than english, despite a great deal of effort. but I've also learnt when you're drunk together there's a universal language that'll get you by regardless, but I'm sober now so it's lost to me.

[Bo Bo]

Welcome Joey! Now stop lurking! :mad: :tongue:

Beats the hell out of coloring a comic about cold Lebanese fish anyday. :biggrin:

[joeyblues]

Welcome Joey! Now stop lurking! :mad: :tongue:

Thanks man, And I'm Trying, though I'm often on the hop and have more opportunities to read than post.

[Calvin Government]

Ah...I'm Cal. I occasionally drop by here and lurk, but in a fit of boredom today as I prepare for midnight, I decided to make an account. I'm a guy, twenty-three years old, and I'm studying to be a librarian right now. I speak English - barely - and living in Japan for a time actually made my Japanese notably worse, which is pretty bad considering how terrible it was to begin with, so no awesome language fluencies.

I tend to really dig noir-ish comics, so I'm a huge Brubaker/Rucka fan. Few writers can make me smile consistently like Gail does, few writers can make me passionate like Ellis does, and few writers can inspire me to think like Morrison does, but I have a whole host of other writers I fanboy like a madman.

In my freetime, I do a little writing. I hope to write comics one day after I find an artist and chain him/her to me, but for now I mostly stick to short fiction. November is National Novel Writing Month (http://www.nanowrimo.org/), though, and since I have such copious amounts of free time between graduate school and job hunting, I figured I'd try and do a NaNo this year, so wish me luck. I also keep a blog (http://vsexplosion.blogspot.com/) about comics, books, and a card game I play.

And, of course, I'm sure that delurking will provide an excellent opportunity for me to slack off when it comes to my writing. So...uhhh...yay? Anyway, nice to meet you all, and Happy Halloween!

[Sabrinaset]

Well, heyas Calvin!

Just out of curiosity ... why did you choose that as your CBR name?

[Calvin Government]

Well, heyas Calvin!

Just out of curiosity ... why did you choose that as your CBR name?

Honestly? Because my name actually is Calvin, and I finished reading Max Barry's Jennifer Government (http://www.amazon.com/Jennifer-Government-Max-Barry/dp/1400030927/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1225492878&sr=8-1) about a month back. Jennifer's partner in the book is Calvin Government, and when I was trying to think of a username, I looked over on my bookshelf and saw Jennifer Government staring back at me. And thus it came to be that I was called Calvin Government.

[section 8]

Calvin Government?

I'm going to have a hard time trusting you.

[Calvin Government]

Calvin Government?

I'm going to have a hard time trusting you.

That's understandable, and it's your right as a citizen to tell me that! In fact, I applaud your use of the principles that make my Government the Government of your hearts and souls. You're an excellent example to your fellow citizens, and I hope that everyone will learn from your sterling example the importance of civic responsibilities.

Remember, everyone, it starts here, with you. You all are the lifeblood of my Government. It's because of you that we have food. It's because of you that we have entertainment. People questioning my Decisions have caused a great deal of growth in a variety of areas when it comes to the burgeoning social responsibility of my Public.

But I'm going to haul you in for questioning anyway.

[Wookiee71]

Hello, the group,

My wife and I both read comics and are big DC fans, but follow other titles that tickle our fancy. We both have come to really like Gail Simone's work with the Birds of Prey, Secret Six and Wonder Woman.

I think she does some great, fun stories that really make an impact in today's comics.

Thanks for all the great work, Gail!

[Bo Bo]

Welcome to YABS Wookie! :biggrin:

Get your wife on here too, the more the merrier!

Name: Eric Ratcliffe

Gender: Male

Occupation: Grill cook for a papa gino's in Massachusetts/Staff writer for comicrelated.com

Comics: I read a lot of different things. I honestly admit to secret six always being on the top of my pull though. And I finally was able to read Wonder Woman when you hopped on. I read everything from Echo to Madman to Captain America to Blue Beetle.

[section 8]

Welcome!

How long have you been hunting this "Zack"?

I don't think he hunts Zacks. I think it's an adjective. As in "Did you hear about that hunter? He's so Zack!"

[section 8]

must be a yankee thing

[Ben Morgan]

I thought he hunts all the Zacks of the world

[Zack_Hunter]

Welcome!

How long have you been hunting this "Zack"?

It's actually the name of the main character of a comic being worked on as we speak. Sadly no publisher yet. Working on the submission.

Hi. I'm Matt LaRock. I'm a writer looking to make it in the biz. I joined a few days ago and am still looking around. This place is HUGE. Every time I hit 'New Post's there's like a dozen new ones. Kinda hard to keep up with everything and everybody, but I'm trying. Mostly I hang out at Ten Ton (what's up, Ben Morgan?), but I thought I'd check you guys out.

[Ben Morgan]

Good to see you Matt!

[Sabrinaset]

Heyas Matt, and welcome to YABS!

[bluemeanie]

Hiya
Im Bluemeanie on here and other online nerdy stuff, but Richard in real life. Found this forum as a result of a link from my mate Hod, so blame him.

I'm Welsh, a lifelong comics nerd and have recently got into writing some stuff. Keep your fingers crossed, should hear today or tomorrow if I get to write a 150 pager for a small press comic company.

Love crappy 80's horror films and redheads and yesterday Nicola Scott wrote on my facebook wall and I had myself a "nerd moment". Which for those of you who have seen Trekkers is like a mini "Brent Break"

Oh, and my incredibly hot wife is Iz, one half of the Comic Racks podcast which I will now shamelessly pimp

Welcome to the madness, Blue and Matt! Please don't feed the trolls, and don't take Cam's beer or he get's a little grouchy. *Hauls away the armless corpse of the last newbie to steal Cam's beer.*

[Matt001]

lol. Thanks for the advice, Shisho.

[MsMeanie]

Hello!! *waves furiously* :biggrin:

I'm Iz, an English bird living in Wales, and I'm nuts about comic-books, weddings and shoes :smile: I've only got back into comics in the last year or so, after a huge lapse which my other half (Bluemeanie above) put a stop to by throwing Marvel Zombies at me and I haven't looked back since :)

I'm an indie-fan most of all, but that's mainly because I'm still catching up with all the established and long-running characters in the Marvel and DC universes.

Favourite series' of all time include: The Walking Dead, Preacher, Welcome to Tranquility, Fables, Battle Pope, The Boys, Hack/Slash & Ubu Bubu.

Favourite writers: Robert Kirkman, Gail Simone (woot!), Garth Ennis, Tim Seeley & Jamie Smart

Favourite artists: Charlie Adlard, Stefano Casellia, Tony Moore, Nicola Scott, Neil Googe, Thomas Boatwright & Rufus Dayglo.

Favourite on-going series' : Secret Six (soooooooooooooooo awesome) and Crossed (sooooo creepy)

A friend recommended I read Welcome to Tranquility and it was totally fantastic :) Once I'd got the Gail Simone bug I checked out Wonder Woman and I'm now addicted to Secret Six - creepy, funny, clever and brilliant all at the same time.:smile:

Hello,

I'm Stacey, the other, less hot half of Comic Racks (thanks for the shameless plug, Blue :P)

I too am quite new to comics, having only started reading them back in...*thinks*...2005. Love them though, and I'm quite annoyed at myself for not being brave enough to risk entering a comic shop before then.

I love lots of comics and will try pretty much anything. My fave stuff relating to comics includes Green Arrow & Black Canary, Captain Britain and MI:13, Gail Simone, Paul Cornell, Jamie Smart, Ubu Bubu, Bear, Cliff Chiang, Andie Tong, Nicola Scott, Secret Six, most Batman related stuff, Captain America, Hellboy and a truckload more, but I won't bore you with it :)
