My friend said the most interesting thing today...

A friend of mine who often sits and watches me type away for hours on this site asked me what I was up to.  I told her I was blogging about a good place to start reading X-men and giving all the ways that House of M branched out into the Marvel U stories.  I also told her about people who message me on here asking for help with the site and all the wiki writing I try to do.  She read some of my blogs and reviews and says to me: "Danny, you know so damn much about these comic books there has to be SOMETHING you can do to turn this into a career because theres nothing you are more passionate about then this"
 
I started thinking that she totally had a point...but what?? I am not an artist and barely much of a writer, I just know a lot of information...I wondered how I might parlay any of that into a career...
 
Mostly just musing here... :)

You can make a career out of reviewing. Basically reading comics and getting paid for it.

Do you mean you don't like Writing? 
 
But you could always with with customers New ones especially in a Comic Shop. You know give them Info on new series of characters' 

Hmmmm...there's totally something right up your alley, but I just can't think of it at the moment...

You can make a career out of reviewing. Basically reading comics and getting paid for it.

You should understand that reviewing comics on the web is a viable career. Ask Tony or Sara; they make a living off of this stuff (or at least I think they do). The internet, and especially the comics world, is a hard place to make a living, but it can be done. 
 
I know you said that you don't like writing much, but you might want to take a few classes or writing workshops. You may learn to like the creativity. 
 
There's also the prospect of making a career out of editing, but that requires a lot of studying and there's no guarantee that you'll work in comics. 
 
And lastly, there's the business side of the industry. Marvel, DC, Image -- they all need accountants, marketing people, maybe even 'librarians', etc.. 
 
Good luck!
