I'm not sporting the Newsarama founder and editor-of import, I'm also a reader. And that acknowledgment is honorable a little bit older than the beginning of my Newsarama journey. I founded what would become the drama book news program site in 1996, and except for a little visit at Wonder Comics as its marketing and communications manager in 2003, I've been writing about newly comic Word of God titles, creative changes, and occasionally offer my perspective happening important industry events and developments for the 25 years since. Despite many changes to Newsarama, my passionateness for the sensitive of comic books and the characters makes the last quarter-century (it's crazy to see that on paper) time spent doing what I love most.
