i started reading comics when i was in college - it was introduced to me by a friend, a girl at that. i got hooked reading all of the X-titles (its not a reference to some porno stuff but rather the multitude of x-men, uncanny x-men, cable, x-force, x-men unlimited, gen x, x-factor) and really had to manage my measly allowance to be able to sustain my comic addiction. it was an expensive hobby especially for a student like me but the storylines were downright addicting - and i was still a kid that time. i stopped buying my comics when i started working for intel, by this time having amassed a full box of assorted x-men comics. from time to time, i still read them - yep, the stories can be that engaging.i was browsing through the categories of listed torrents and chanced upon some x-men titles. there was someone actually nice enough to share his comics collection by scanning them and then sharing them online in these nifty .cbr & .cbz formats which you can open with a small program called cdisplay. i tested downloading one of the smaller downloads on a series called x-men : deadly genesis (picture is the cover art for issue#3) and whoah, it was the real thing. the scans were crisp, hi-quality and reading through them using cdisplay was awesome. i saw an assortment of x-men comics available via torrent and i am going to look into them. one torrent compiled the uncanny x-men from #1 to #446 - but it will take a while to download cause we're talking about gigabytes of information here. patience - i've got time, just gotta leave the desktop for a few nights.
a few more days and i'm going to feel like a kid again. can't wait.
