A Year in Comics

I started collecting comics again about a year ago. One of the first that I picked up was 52, a weekly, year-long comic that DC Comics put out, with multiple, intersecting storylines involving just about every character in their fold. Today, issue 52 of that endeavor was released. The story has come to a "close".

While I bought comics now and then when I was a kid, I can't say that I was ever a "collector" until now. As my friend John has pointed out, "Kids don't collect comics. What kid has the disposable income to spend on comics every week? You need a job." And at $3 for a single issue, he's absolutely right.

It's nice to have a hobby again, but in the last year it's cost me a couple thousand dollars.
