Becoming A Proper Nerd...

Ever since I started reading comics a few years ago, I've been behind the times. I started out with the essential Batman trades (Year One, Long Halloween, Man Who Laughs, etc.) and The Walking Dead Compendium. Eventually I decided to check out what ole Bats was up to currently on Comixology's digital collection. Well this was in 2012, a year after the New52 had begun. I had some catching up to do, but Snyder and Capullo with the Court of Owls made for some feverish rushing though the first year of the new Bats. I loved it so much I signed up for a mail order subscription to the main Batman title. Eventually, I got interested in Justice League and from there I branched out throughout the New52. Well, now I've been branching out even farther and have been really enjoying X-O Manowar. All in all, I'm into comics now. So today, with DC's launch of their universal (sorry, MULTIVERSAL) event and soft-reboot, I decided to start buying more than just trades at the store. However, G2K didn't have the Manowar I wanted... So I find myself at Atomik Comiks. They didn't have the Manowar I wanted either, but they ordered it for me on the spot, set me up with subscriptions (the real kind, go into the store, pull-list style), suggested some trades for previous stuff, and generally talked with me about comic stuff. (Apparently, I was right to think Arrow was extremely lack-luster, but The Flash is a show I need to be putting my time into.) So anyway, officially my first true, single comic purchase was Convergence #0, and now I can't wait till next Wednesday. 

tl;dr
Today I finally became a proper comic nerd, and I couldn't have chosen a better shop to do it at. #PullListActivate
