Comic Books, Ultimate Frisbee, LOST, 24, Chuck, How I Met Your Mother, Heroes, South Park, Simpsons, Human Giant, Acceptable TV, www.Channel101.com and all types of music. I barely ever make it to the movies except for most comic book films (damn, I sound even more geeky than I thought) but my job keeps me damn busy. I also love Jack in the Box, damn great food and damn great marketing. I just wish they would invade Florida soon enough.Music
Dave Matthews Band, Lamb, Kanye West, DJ Shadow, Unkle, RJD2, Lupe Fiasco, Placebo, Portishead, Counting Crows, Wu-Tang Clan, Method Man, Cake, Ben Folds, Blackalicious, Pharcyde, K-Os, Consequence, Common, Coldplay, James Kochalka Superstar, Avalanches, Frou Frou, Imogen Heap, Lily Allen, Kate Nash, Sara Bareielles, Radiohead, Thievery Corporation, Roots, Bond, Boards of Canada, Justice, Go-Team and many more... almost anything but country music, I just can't handle it. I've been listening to tons of electronic music and stuff without lyrics lately, just trying to broaden my horizons.Movies
Chasing Amy is my favorite movie of all time. Clerks, Mallrats, Dogma, Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back, Pulp Fiction, Kill Bill, Reservoir Dogs, Boondock Saints, Battle Royale, Serenity, Batman 1, 2, Batman Begins, Dark Knight of course, X-Men 2, Spider-Man 1 & 2, Comic Book Villains, 300, the Saw movies, all sorts of stuff, but you get the idea, I have a one track mind. I've been to the movies a whopping six times this year. You can probably figure out which ones. I can't wait for Watchmen, it looks amazing.Television
LOST is my favorite show ever! I also love 24, The Soup, Best Week Ever, Chelsea Lately, Human Giant, Acceptable TV, Simpsons, South Park, Chuck, My Name Is Earl, How I Met Your Mother, 30 Rock, SNL (Kristen Wiig rules!), Robot Chicken, Tim & Eric Awesome Show Great Job, Whitest Kids U Know, Dollhouse, Chocolate News, Important Things with Demetri Martin Heroes, Reaper, Chaser's War on Everything, Attack of the Show, Twin Peaks, Firefly/Serenity, Buffy, Angel, Invader Zim, The State, Reno 911, Sifl & Olly, The Shield, Acceptable TV and Action. If you gave up on LOST when it was "slow", you've missed out on some of the best TV ever in the second half of season three and all of the incredible seasons four and five. LOST is my favorite TV show of all time, just so damn good every week and I can't wait to see how it will end! Big ups, BKV!Books
I barely ever read "real" books since I barely can keep up with all the great comics I'd like to read. Not enough hours in the day. I loved everything DC did from Hush in 2002 to the incredible Identity Crisis through Infinite Crisis, 52 and Sinestro Corps War, which is the best story of the last few years. Most of my favorite DCU books right now are all of Geoff Johns' outstanding work: Green Lantern, Justice Society of America and Action Comics. Final Crisis: Legion of 3 Worlds is great and I can't wait to see where Geoff takes the Legion after this. My favorite book of the last ten years is Y THE LAST MAN written by the insanely talented Brian K. Vaughan, who writes the best dialogue in comics (and now also writes LOST). Y, Ex Machina and Runaways, Pride of Baghdad are some of my favorite new series over the last decade. Now that Y is over, the books I look forward to the most each month are Walking Dead, Fables, Invincible, The Boys & Ex Machina. My favorite creators are Geoff Johns, Brian K. Vaughan, Brad Meltzer, Pete Tomasi, Warren Ellis, Robert Kirkman, Ed Brubaker, Bill Willingham, Christos N. Gage, Garth Ennis, Tony Bedard, Jay Leisten, Derec Donovan and Karl Moline who never disappoint me. Ex Machina, Fables, Walking Dead, Invincible, Buffy, Green Lantern & Green Lantern Corps, Avengers: The Initiative, JSA and The Boys are some of my favorite books right now. Although I read way too many comics to list them all. My favorite comics of all time are Watchmen, Y: The Last Man, Negation, Identity Crisis, Batman Year One, Dark Knight Returns (sequel sucked), Johns' Flash and JSA runs, Green Lantern Rebirth, Preacher, Transmetropolitan, Hitman, Starman, Scud: The Disposable Assassin. Watchmen is still my favorite story in any medium, but I connected more with Y for several reasons. Maybe it was just because it had five times as many issues to develop the characters and story or maybe it was because I was there every month from the beginning and was able to help spread the word since day one. Either way, comparing something to Watchmen isn't something I take lightly, so read Y or else. Some of the few real books that I've loved have been the Myth Adventures series by Robert Asprin. Great stuff that I can't recommend highly enough. I'll dive into Meltzer's books at some point soon when I ever have free time, but look how many years late I set up a MySpace page.Heroes
Pretty much all the writers listed above, as well as Joss Whedon and Dave Matthews Band. And Tina Fey, one of the funniest women ever.

About me:
I am the Manager and finally Owner of Famous Faces & Funnies here in Melbourne, FL, where I spend almost all my time working day and night, much to the chagrin of my wonderful wife, Alison. She's an angel for putting up with my lack of a homelife. I finally bought out the store after almost 14 years here and I'm working more than ever to make it run smoothly including making sure we have everything worth reading in stock. I absolutely love my job and I consider myself pretty lucky that I get to entertain people for a living by selling them the perfect comics and graphic novels to fit their tastes. I have a great time at the store, but I work my ass off, it's not just sitting around reading comics all day, like some people think. I work insane hours to make sure that the store stays in good shape. Our store has something for everyone, and it's not all just guys in capes beating each other up, although there's plenty of great stories there as well. The comic industry has never been in such great shape, and I really feel like there's something for everyone out there right now. So much so that I offer a full money back guarantee on anything I recommend, although we rarely have to use that policy. I'll probably talk almost exclusively about work here as that seems like all I ever do. What can I say, I'm a workaholic, but when you love what you do for a living, you're not in any rush to leave. Alison and I will take at least one vacation every year since I finally bought out the store. We went to Las Vegas in mid August for our two year Wedding Anniversary (we've been together almost ten years now) We even got remarried by Elvis, what a deal. We had a ton of fun and didn't bet and lose the house or store, so that's good. We went to San Diego in August 2007 and visited a few friends in Atlanta in July 2009!Who I'd like to meet:
More people that like comics and graphic novels! MIDNIGHT MADNESS BREVARD - Part Game/Part Scavenger Hunt/All Crazy Fun Thanks to Justin, Matt and the rest of the Game Control for another outstanding round of Midnight Madness Brevard a few weeks ago. Everyone who lives in the area should get a team together for the next round on Saturday April 25 as it's the most fun I have every three months. Hit up www.MidnightMadnessBrevard.com and www.MySpace.com/MMBrevard for more info on the awesome games. Thanks to Dave aka LitlPhoenix for taping all the MMB craziness the last few games. Here is a video of this last round, Midnight Madness Brevard 8: The Ocho, which had a sports theme. Best move of the night is at 1:20 when Gray team's Brent stole our (Red Team) ball when he ninja'ed it by hiding behind the car until we were already playing and then taking it for extra points for his team. Well played, grasshopper. You can check out the rest of the MMB or FFF's video care of Dave's great filming and editing skills at his YouTube Channel: http://www.youtube.com/litlphoenixDetails
