Apparently I'm the World's Biggest Fan of Writing Boring Posts
Looking at Tom's Aug. 10 post, I just realized I could never be the World's Biggest Fan of something. Looking at his post about various weblogger's fandom about Swamp Thing, Dr. Strange and more something occured to me. It seems to become the World's Biggest Fan of a character you need to sift through a lot of crap just because it features, say, Deathlok or Bat Lash or some other comic book character.
I follow creators more than characters but I could never feel comfortable saying I'm the Worlds Biggest Fan of Grant Morrison even though I own such works as a his stuff for Scottish Sci-Fi magazine Near Myths. Even if I did procure everything Morrison worked on there could still be someone out there who owns everything by Morrison and has slept with him and licked his bald head clean. That's just too much competition for me.
I can say I am the world's biggest fan of Sleeper, Ex Machina or Mr. Majestic but have those been around long enough for some kid like me to go around calling himself the World's Biggest Fan of, say, Mitchell Hundred? Maybe the time is right for me to start down the path of World's Biggest Fan of Ex Machina, Sleeper, Mr. Majestic or something else relatively new. Do you I dare take the step? Only time and how much money I can spend on comics will tell.
