I can't do digital period for anything. Well, maybe music, but that's about it. Movies, video games, comics, whatever, if I'm going to spend money on it, I need to be able to physically touch it and put it on my shelves.

Like here is my video game collection:



As for DVDs, Blu-Ray, 4K, etc, I've got over 1000 discs.

Martin wrote a letter in one? Wow, that's awesome and funny.

I still remember reading one of the Spider-Man issues had a letter from a soldier talking about how much his unit loves reading their comics and then about 5 issues later there is a letter saying that soldier was KIA just before they received the issue with his letter in it. So sad.

There are tons of minor characters I have a disproportionate fondness for because of having recently read/ reread their classic appearances. Case in point, I read the seventies Shanna comics, and now have a serious hankering for a first appearance Shanna & her leopards.

Yeah, reading those Silver Age Captain America books is what solidified MODOK and AIM for me. I like them better than Hydra now.

Not to mention I never liked Fantastic Four as much as I did until I read those Lee/Kirby books. Some day I want to pick up the Hulk, Thor, and Avengers ones to see if they also get me to look at those characters in a new light (well, I liked Thor in the 90s, but I've never really read too much of his solo books).
