My name is Kirk Warren and I’m a full time comic fan blowing my pay cheques on way too many comics every week.
Back in the early 90's, my mother bought me a Spider-Man comic to shut me up on a trip. I didn’t know it at the time, but that moment changed my life. Since then I've become a full blown comic fan and now purchase well in excess of 20 comics per month plus trades and other comic related goods.
As you can see, I've taken my hobby to the next step with this blog and it's allowed me to connect every single day with thousands of people that share the same passion I have for comics and I wouldn't change that for the world.

Boy, there's a lot of stuff wrong with this scene.
It starts with the tin-ear comment by the boy, who's either dumb as bricks or a real smartass to his mom — he clearly knows it's a man, so why's he asking if it's a fish? The mother's boilerplate distracted comment is also lousy; there are people in big aquarium tanks all the time: cleaning, training, doing performances. It's no big deal, so why should she be disbelieving?
Finally, the SWAT-team response from the guards: Theme park security types often don't carry guns to begin with, and the notion that they're threatening deadly force to deal with some hippie swimming with the dolphins is just stupid.
Not sure why this one upset me more than the many, many other stupid Aquaman scenes I've read, but it did.
... You're going to shoot him for swimming with the fish? Who hired this idiot?
