Good thread. Enjoying it so far.
I am a software developer.
I play WoW.
I own many 35 cent Marvel comics, but none of those 12 cent'ers. 
I once drew on 18" X 24" sheets almost the entire 1992 Marvel Masterpieces card set in pen and ink. Still have a few of them.

In the 70s I wore leisure suits & khakis and ran around in slow-motion!
Nowadays the main decoration in my apartment is a triangular wing panel off a crashed SR-71 Blackbird!

I have no idea where to go from here, or what it means, really. To me, it wasn't any kind of trauma to hear it - it was like a lightbulb went off over my head (and not the flickery fluorescent kind, which really bother me, but which I only really notice the flicker of when I'm stressed). It was one of those forehead-slapping moments, when I heard the discussion and some symptoms, and it was like a checklist - then they started listing the some common behaviors, and it was as if somebody finally GOT me, after all these years! It didn't make me feel BAD at all, or "handicapped" in any way - it was one of those things that made me just say, "Well, SHIT - THAT explains a whole helluva lot!"
I had exactly that reaction when they told me I was dyslexic. And they broke it to me like it was bad news.
I'm not quite brainy enough to be geeky in the aformentioned sense - I re-read the entire Austen (including Sanditon etc) yearly, and often start talking in a manner circa 1820 whilst doing it, but no extensive knowledge as yet.
And I can work out the pattern shape of the clothing you are wearing just by looking at you.
BUT I fell in total love with a geek and live in awe of his geekiness and aspire to be more geeky myself, so in a way thats the ultimate in geekiness isn't it?
Heh.

Yes, it is. And it's awesome that you feel that way. :)

Hmm.. the list is a bit extensive, and I should be getting dressed for work sooo...
I spent 14+ hours plotting and knitting Serenity, and several more hours concocting a way to make her light up..
Browncoats are the shiniest folks in the 'verse

And since you are the Ultimate master in geekiness I consider that a compliment.
Anyone who actually walked barefoot because of the 'Grasshopper' and saw The Monster from Piedras Blancas must have a black-belt in Geekdom.
I bow to your awesome geekness ;-)
Your pal in the Geekhood,

Good post. I once had 4 small boxes (just a little bit amaller than a box of copier paper) filled with great comics - Batman, Superman, Flash from DC and Spiderman, Thor, Daredevil, S.H.I.E.L.D. (I actually had the first Shield), Nick Fury, X-Men and Dr. Strange, to name a few.
I'm gonna date myself here but I started back in the mid-sixties, before comic book collecting became a mainstream business. We read for the shear enjoyment of it.
Dude I'm old......forget that, it's just a number. My fav artist then and now, was Jim Steranko. I'll never forget his Nick Fury and Shield.

I'm assuming they're Marvel artists. Tell me which comic book character did they create/draw?
