I was introduced to the world of comics through the pages of Archie comic digests that were sold on the newstands of the local grocery store. For a while I actually subscribed and was an official member of the Archie Comics fan club. Had my own Archie 'Press' button and everything.

My first 'grown up' comic was The Maxx by William Messner-Loebs and Sam Kieth. I had seen the animated series on MTV (back when it used to be halfway cool) and just had to read it.

I didn't become a real comics reader until I met my husband (Chris Mills of Gravedigger and Femme Noir fame) back in 1999. Being the comics fan that he is, I don't think he could bring himself to marry someone who didn't at least read a few, so he introduced me to several good series.

My tastes are eclectic but I tend to gravitate towards the fantastic such as Sandman written by Neil Gaiman and Planetary by Warren Ellis and John Cassaday. I also like a good horror comic such as Walking Dead by Robert Kirkman.

Most of my online comic reading consists of humor strips such as Sinfest, Atland, Sluggy Freelance and Order of the Stick but I'm always open to reading new strips regardless of genre.
