Jeremy Wiggins / Reviewer
Jeremy remembers running home from school to plop down three feet from the television to watch the first episode of Transformers in 1984. Since then they've been the main focus of his nerdom and he continues to collect the comics and figures. He started collecting other comics in 1990 so right off the bat he was there for the big X-plosion (sorry) of X-Force #1 and X-Men #1, the creation of DC's Vertigo imprint, and the birth of Image. Since graduating from OSU in 1999 with an English degree, he's worked predominently in customer service. He discribes his comic collecting as moving away from completism to following creators he enjoys. You can follow his writing at the Zoner Zone. |
