Like many of you reading this I read a 
ton of comics growing up. Hell, I even used classic comic versions of novels to do book reports. I am sure that the statute of limitations has run out so I don’t have to worry about any teacher taking my grade back now. Aside from the standard superhero comics, Batman, Spider-Man, Captain America, I really enjoyed the “What If” books from Marvel.
