Hey. My name is Jack, and I'm an edgelord.

My primary interest when it comes to comics are horror comes, specifically and especially obscure pro-code horror comics and magazines like Psycho, Eerie, Creepy, and the like. I also love goth comics (Courtney Crumrin, Gloomcookie, Lenore, and really anything by Slave Labor), ero guro and extreme horror (everything from Western stuff like Crossed to the work of Uziga Waita), really anything dark or horrific in general (really enjoying Harrow County currently), and bad 90s antihero comics are a guilty pleasure. As far as straight superheroes go, I like Batman and The Punisher. I'm 27, and, yes, I do still wear fingerless gloves.

 I had to google such a thing! Anyway, Welcome, and good luck!

An edgelord is someone on an internet forum who deliberately talks about controversial, offensive, taboo, or nihilistic subjects in order to shock other users in an effort to appear cool, or edgy.

Yes, most of the definitions I'm seeing on Google seem to refer to people who feign certain qualities in an attempt to get attention and who are not easy to get along with. Well, in my case, I'm a legitimate, certified, grade-A lunatic (there's quite a bit of paperwork on the subject), any attention I generate is not necessarily intentional, and you won't find me too difficult to get along with most of the time. Still, I'm obsessed with anything related to gore and/or demons, dress in all black, listen exclusively to edgy music, and I'm really not all there, so I get called that enough to embrace the label.

Yeah, well, I do read enough Dilbert to know how seriously I should take an engineer's criticism of my fashion choices (no offense).

What about trans, gender-fluid, and non-binary superheroes?

What about them? Trans, gender-fluid, and non-binary superheroes can be straight.

Although, just to clarify in case anybody reading this becomes legitimately confused, I was actually referring to superheroes whose characters were played more or less straight as opposed to aforementioned 90s anti-heroes (although I guess The Punisher is an anti-hero; he just isn't quite Lobo) and not heterosexual superheroes, which should be obvious considering that I included a man known for prancing around in brightly-colored tights, living with more other guys than Jesus Christ, and laying in bed with one of them so often that some cranky old man wrote an entire book about it and nearly destroyed the comics industry as a result.

Hi, new member here. I've been lurking around the cons (usually in a FF shirt) the past few years after many years away from the hobby. Looking forward to making the rounds again soon!

Hi I'm Jeff,

I was hooked from the time my Uncle gave me a small pile of books in the 70s and have collected ever since.  I have avoided slabs up until recently but have finally given in.  Still read currently but I mostly go after silver /bronze Marvel books and have been categorized as a run filler. 

Thanks!

Welcome @Doctor Dositheus! These boards have many lifetimes of knowledge you can’t get anywhere else in a single source 

Get yourself a cool avatar...maybe the FF logo   I’m a big FF fan as well!

Hope to see you around.

Welcome @jr70! Sounds like you need a bigger pile of books now, some with plastic covers and very subjective numbers with decimal points in the left corner 

Hope to see you around.
