Originally from a thread post, I decided to keep it in my blog...

What got me back into comics? I seen an advertisement on a DVD for the New 52. I was not collecting comics at the time. And I fondly remembered Batwoman from the series 52 and decided to pick up that series along with many other series. Sadly Batwoman and Animal Man are the only two books from the New 52 that I read now. I think the majority of it is crap, but I have to give them some props for getting me back into comics. So Tony has a valid point about these companies needing to advertise more often.

If you meant how I got into comics originally, my father had a decent sized collection that included comics from the late 70's to mid 80's. So I always had access to Spiderman, Iron Man, Legion of Super Heroes, Dial H for Hero, Superman, John Carter from Mars, Warlord, Power Pack, Metal Men, Star Jammers, Cloak & Dagger, Micronauts, Superboy, and a crap load of X-Men. I literally learned how to read and write because of comic books.

Oddly enough I never read Batman or Avengers until I was old enough to collect myself.
