I use to read Marvel comics. I started off with collections like Birth of Venom or Deadpool Head Trip. When Marvel NOW launched years ago I figured it was a good time to jump into issues. Matt Fraction's Hawkeye is some of the best comics I ever read. The Deadpool run was good but later on became too entwined with the larger universe. One issue ended with a cliff-hanger of Deadpool facing off against Apocalypse, and the next one began with the fight done because that was in a big crossover issue. Every arc had this it felt like.
Tried getting into Guardian's of Galaxy, but same issue only worse. Volume 1 was great, Volume 2 felt like I was missing an issue between every official "Guardians" issue. So I stopped. I since went back to read collections: Old Man Logan, Kraven's Last Hunt, Spiderman Noir, etc. I haven't really read much comics lately. Not sure what it is exactly. Perhaps it's because I'm kinda tired of super heroes at the moment.
Seconds by Bryan Lee O'Malley was fantastic, and I read volume 1 of Scott Pilgrim, bought volume 2 but never read it.
Oh well.
I also have a birthday coming up. I feel younger than I am, but I think that's because all my friends feel older. They're all buying houses, getting married, going on trips, etc. I play D&D with 3 people, all of which are home owners and 2 are married (the third does live with his girlfriend though). I got a wedding to attend on Saturday for a friend who I knew since grade 7. Then, likewise, here I am excited to pick up a Switch next month for Link's Awakening, or swearing at Dark Souls 2. I know my friends are like that too, playing D&D and whatnot, but still. It's hard not to compare to other people when you exclusively hang out with them.
tl;dr I sometimes feel like a kid hanging out with the big boys.
