There are many times that I read commentary and magazines regarding Comic Books and I wonder if we make too much about nothing.

Yes, I believe that the stories should be consistent—and they should be believable…but do we take them too seriously?

I read because I need time away from stress and from the movement of life. Comic Books are my escape, so why do we make them stressful? Why do we fight over Marvel is better that DC—or if your favorite character is better than someone else’s?

The Comic Book Community should support the simple fact that others are reading.

This week, we unloaded our belongings from our move from Germany to Virginia.

When the packers came to pack us up in Germany, one of the older gentlemen took care of packing up my Comic Books. He took care of the boxes and taped them up tight.

Somehow, he knew that they were important.

When the men began to load the crates, I watched them load up my Comic Books. He saw me watching over the books and mentioned how it was a nice collection.

He then said; “I like Comic Books too.”

Even across a language barrier there was a friendship based on Comic Books.
