The Outhouse - The Greatest Comic Book Forum

by **ElijahSnowFan** » Tue Jan 25, 2011 7:59 pm

Well, well. A little more than six years ago, I came searching for a place to talk comics with the release of Identity Crisis #7, where I learned that Crazy Sue Dibny was smart and crazy enough to outwit the Justice League.

I found Newsarama at that time, registered, minded my own business, for the most part. And since I loathe change, I never left. I would peek at Outhouse after "the split," but as I am a creature of habit, I never migrated over.

But now, on a day where a founding member of the Fantastic Four meets their doom, I wanted to talk comics. And I was rejected for the sixth day in a row by the Newsarama boards being down.

Look. I believe in loyalty. I do. But come on. A classic character goes down for the count, and I can't even log on to a message board at a comics website?

That's...man, sometimes you just gotta recognize when it's time to move on.

So. The Outhouse. I recognize some of the names, many of them. (Punch! Young man, what are you, 20-plus now?) I don't read comics nearly as much, but still enjoy good conversations about them when I have the time.

Glad to be here, because history repeats itself. On a day when comics changes in tone, I reach out to people like me. So if you remember me, say hi!

Wow, I think I was just asking about what happened to you a few weeks ago. Welcome!

Blue Streak and Dragavon! Man, it warms my heart to see you guys -- and wow! Let's just say the response time here is a little faster than I've seen in the past few years -- I'm going to have to get back to "Old 'Rama Speed-Typing!"

Never!!!

Word of advice: watch out for Starlord and his welcome "care package".

This.

Time to let the old memories go, and embrace the new!

(Hmmm. Now where are all the sigmakers? Now that I'm here, might as well pull up a chair and make myself at home...) :-D
