Mike has been a fan of comics since childhood, first making the trip to a local comic book shop shortly after learning to ride a bike. While his interests used to focus on Marvel, DC has been more of his thing since the 2011 “New 52” Initiative.
His favorite characters include the Fantastic Four, Daredevil, Captain America, Aquaman, Superman, and Green Arrow.
He spends his spare time playing too many video games, doing amateur drawings of superheroes, and working a job for an evil corporate overlord to fund it all!
Joe has been a fan of comics since he was a teenager, but his interest was piqued in 2002 after watching the first Spider-Man movie. After that, he collected and poured over the Essential Spider-Man collections, wanting to get more familiar with the web-slinging wall crawler.
After that, his comic collecting/reading interests expanded to Deadpool, Captain Marvel (Carol Danvers), Hawkeye (Clint Barton and Kate Bishop), Moon Knight, and Ghost Rider (Robbie Reyes).
While he was first a fan of DC properties only in animation (Batman, Superman, Justice League, Green Lantern), he has read actual DC comics recommended by Mike, including Green Arrow, Green Lantern Corps, Red Lanterns, and New Gods.
