Comics your brain will thank you for

Welcome to the start of what promises to be a long and illustrious (and hopefully profitable) blogging career. I am your host, Mark Adamson, and this post serves as an introduction to my blog, including a description of it's wholesome ingredients, and oh-so-purposeful purpose, as well as my reasons for beginning it.

I started reading comic books only a few short months ago, and when I did, I knew before I bought a single issue what I was looking for. In comics, as in all the other forms of entertainment I consume, I wanted interesting, cohesive, intelligent stories.

What I did not want was superheroes - those annoying, brightly-coloured, upbeat namby-pambies who want nothing more than to save the day whilst killing as few people as possible. I also happen to be a voracious review-reader.

So with both these things in mind, I set off across the great wide intertube to find out what was good on the fringes of the comic scene - and soon discovered I was shockingly alone in this viewpoint. Sure I found plenty of comic book review sites but they were all, to a man, about the brightly-cloured namby-pambies.

This blog is an attempt to fill the void. In it I intend to review the comics I find interesting: mature comics, indie comics, comics where if there are superheroes, at least they arent pointless, 2-dimensional (you know what I mean), cardboard cut-outs of every other superhero you've ever heard of.

And so, without further ado, I give you:
The (mostly) Anti-Hero Comic Review Blog
