It's the "I'm New Here" Thread

And for anything dealing with pulp fiction, B movies and generally subversive entertainment fun, there's the His Name is Studd thread.

Hi Jonah. For the last 4 or 5 years, I've been a regular poster at Newsarama. Potentially great site that's gone downhill over the past 12 months with almost rampant abuse and trolling now... and I better stop there before I get p-o'd again.

From what little I've seen of this place so far, it's much the same, only without the idiots. :D

New here. Been posting over the ComicBloc forums for a year or two and thought I'd get my arse across here as well =D

Welcome to CBR, Marc. Enjoy the new digs. We're a pretty friendly lot, except for when we're not (which is really rare).

Oh, we have plenty of those -- I'm one of them!

Enjoy your stay -- we have free O.J. on Tuesdays and let's not forget Baklava Thursday's!

What is Baklava? I'm strangely intrigued and frightened all at once...

One of many fine Greek desserts made out of the same ingredients. Filo, Honey & nuts.

Um...I was told there'd be beer. Anyway, I stumbled across this site about a year ago and visit it daily. I check out the message boards, but don't post much. I don't buy comics regularly anymore, but like the dude said to the other dude in Brokeback Mountain "I wish I knew how to quit you." I have a real jones for comics, hence my username, and it's great to be among like-minded folks.

My favorite comic book character is Ben Grimm and my least favorite is Bouncing Boy -- he knows why.

Beats most of our stories.

Welcome to CBR.

I've heard good things about Ultimate Fantastic 4.

I'm personally going back and picking up the archived editions of Lee and Kirby's work in the Essentials volumes.
