I have been reading comics off and on since I was about five. Since I rejoined the comic book reading masses in 2002 I've also been reading manga. I don't read monthlies any more, just trades.

Not much into the message board thing, but I do occasionally write/gush/complain about what I am reading in my livejournal. I also listen to a few comic book podcasts on a regular basis.

My current reading pile of comic book includes: Queen & Country, Powers, Y: The Last Man, DMZ, Young Avengers, Dr. Strange: The Oath, Point Blank.

My current reading pile of manga includes: Bleach, Buddha, Kare Kano, Monster, Yakitate! Japan, Hot Gimmick, Phoenix, Yotsuba&!, Kekkaishi.

When I am not indulging my comic book/manga habit I occasionally watch anime, movies, and the odd TV show on DVD (The Shield, Sopranos, Battlestar Galactica, Millennium, L Word). In August '06 I demoted my TV to 'monitor for my DVD player' status when I canceled the cable TV.

I keep myself in comic books and manga with the money I earn from my day job: senior accountant for a mid-sized government contractor located just outside of DC. My longish commute (1.5 hours each way via public transportation) provides me ample opportunity to keep up on my comic book and manga reading habit.
