When Comic Collection Goes Too Far

[Rich Johnston]

We all know comic collectors can be a little possessive about their prized objects d'art. But I've never seen it go this far before.

That's... that's bad.

Holy shit. That guy must have had issues.

Ah, another one of those well-written articles.

when comic article writing has gone too far?...

[Captain Comet]

Wow. This is really insightful.

[drumore]

Sadly, there's still a grammatical error.

[Tillis]

Holy shit, there's a comic book character on that glass!

[Eldron]

Wow. Taking Giles Coren's point to the (il)logical extreme, this is an article for illiterate men who can only look at pictures without words...

I would had stabbed him with a jackhammer.

This is so sad. He shouldn't be referred to as a collector at this point. I think he crossed the gap into psychopath the second he thought about the scissors... ...at least from our outside perspective. He's probably been that way for a long time.

And why do I get the feeling that anyone who would focus on the writing of the article is a maybe possibly a collector with social issues as well? Seriously? The grammar or depth of the article is the problem? Not the fact that a grown man went insane and stabbed his own family in the neck with a pair of scissors because he broke his HULK glass? Isnt that a wee bit more potent than a spelling error or quick paragraph just to get the news out? Arrrrrggh! People really gross me out sometimes... HULK STAB!!! #poortaste
