Wow, now I know that time really does fly. I had a look at my last post here and it's dated 25th of March... 2014! And here I thought it certainly couldn't be more than a couple of years at the most.
I left the boards for what was supposed to be a short break, but eventually became an indefinite leave of absence. Work and other duties kept me away but, to be honest, the lack of activity I saw here every time I had a glance also didn't motivate me to return, until eventually I lost touch.
I'm sorry to see now the boards completely deserted. This was never the liveliest of communities, but it had a good core of knowledgeable members with a genuine wish to discuss comics. I suppose the lack of new members and the rise of social media making forums obsolete eventually told, but it's still a pity as, at their best, the AA boards were a great place to be.
Anyway, what prompted me to return is that, having a bit more time on my hands, I have created a little blog on Marvel Comics. For the past few years I have been collecting most volumes of the Epic Collection series of reprints, and recently I was asked to submit a short profile for the anniversary of the Marvel Appendix Project website. Enjoying the experience, and wanting to write in English a little more as I was getting rusty, I basically had a "oh, what the heck" moment and set up the Age of Marvel Comics blog. If anyone's reading and would like to have a look or say hi, it's at ageofmarvelcomics.blogspot.it/
You can take the comics away from the boy, but you can't take the boy away from the comics, eh?
