A Movie Reviewer Becomes a Comic Book Junkie

Welcome weary web traveler to the Cut & Print Magazine Comic Review Blog.

Why are we here? To help you get your fix of comic books, damn it. Comics are valid storytelling medium, no matter what your girlfriend tries to argue. We don’t have room in Cut & Print Magazine to publish comic book reviews but we do on-line. Thus, Cut & Print Magazine Comic Review is upon you.

I’m the editor of Cut & Print Magazine, Jakob Brzovic and I’m also the resident comic nut at the magazine. There’s also a closet comic fan working on the staff, so, if we can convince him to join up, then we’ll have some dueling comments on comics for ya!

A little background on my comic book reading history – I started like any comic reader, at a young age. While I obviously gravitated towards Superman (what kid doesn’t), I was a huge fan of some “lesser” known heroes like Firestorm and Dr. Fate. Why? Don’t ask me. I think it was something about having fire for hair with Firestorm and Dr. Fate’s boffo helmet.

The grand daddy for me, though, was Green Lantern. Hal Jordan as Green Lantern was awesome but it was Kyle Rayner that hooked me into comics for an extended period of time. During those days (the mid 90’s), I was collecting only three books. Everything Green Lantern, Superboy and The Power of Shazam.

Like most kids, I got older and stopped reading. Actually, I think it was more because I couldn’t afford the hobby that I stopped reading, but, let’s not argue.

The fact is, I’m back into the comics fold. The looming Infinite Crisis and its attached mini-series’ have brought me back into the DC fold and I’m here to stay for awhile. Long live DC. With more disposable incoming, I’m collecting a lot of titles, all of which will be reviewed on The Cut & Print Magazine Comic Review. The reviews will start with the next shipment of comics and hopefully, continue for a long time.
