Hi! I'm Alicia. I'm taking Graphic Novel at PSC. Yes, that is a real class and yes, I do know how lucky I am, so does the rest of my family. Why you ask? For one simple reason we get to read about Batman. Granted that isn't the original reason why I signed up for this class, but it is a perk.
I've been a fan of comics since I was 9-10 years old. However, before I met the wonderful world of comics I watched cartoons. I was more familiar Batman, because we owned the Tim Burton's interpretation. Superman has always been part of my life mainly because it was Christopher Reeves. Then I moved on to X-Men, followed by Spiderman, which lead to me reading comics. My brother mostly read X-MEN. So naturally being the nosy younger sister, I would read his. I own a couple Spiderman, Batman, X-MEN, and even one or two Superman comics. What I don't own I've done massive internet reading. Not just from Wikipedia but also from Marvel and DC's own website.
The funny thing is that my Mom, who majored in English Education, never had any qualms about me reading comic books. She encouraged it. To quote my mother, “Reading is reading.” While this is not the only type of reading I do I think it has helped create who I am, a nerd. My family is a group of nerds, which is something we are quite proud of if you ask.
