Holy MOLY! Mr. Fantastic has let himself go!!!

Super shout out to @anthonybachman for the inspiration!

My first ever interview with my great buddy @ninpf!!

	I had the chance to interview my good friend Patrick Mileham who is a comic fan that is doing some real awesome stuff over at readcomicbooks.net and laying down some of the best tweets on Twitter! Sat, Jul 28, 2012 at 12:51 PM
	KYLE: I'm very excited to do this interview, is this your first time being interviewed?

---

PATRICK: I think so. -Thinks- Yeah, it probably is. Other than when I interrogate myself to get to the root of a problem.

---

KYLE: Lol I love reading your reviews on Readcomicbooks.net and hearing your opinions on comics. You obviously love comic books on a very serious level. Why is that?

---

PATRICK: Serious? I guess I'm just a more somber guy these days. I go in these phases of carefree or serious personalities. Personalities? Did I just say that? I'm starting to sound Jorge Ayau. lol

---

KYLE: LOL! Another awesome individual! Back to the question though For example your recommendation of Rachel Rising has gone a long way with me, personally. What's it take for a book to merit you sticking your head out there for it?

---

PATRICK: Oh jeez man...Strangers In Paradise was the book Terry Moore hooked me with. As a teenager, I read a lot of superhero books and then I picked up the first trade of the miniseries. BAMM! I'm hit with real people! It was so weird seeing a series about people who weren't in tights and capes. I related to David so much. Back to Rachel though, it really is just about following creators. I even have all the trades for Echo on my shelf begging me to read them. I find it odd I like Rachel Rising though because I'm just not much of a Walking Dead person.

---

KYLE: You've currently joined up with the incredibly smart and talented Read Comic Books team and the following has grown at lightning speed. Why do you think that is?

---

PATRICK: lol I honestly have no real clue. I think it was just RCB getting people talking on Twitter and spreading that excitement around like peanut butter. The Twitter talk led to forums, a Facebook page, and now a site filling up with reviews daily. I'm not the most excited about comics some days, but talking to people like you or Cody Mudge or even RCB himself get me jazzed again. It really is about feeding excitement. I'm not sure where this whole thing can go next, but I'm happy to be jumping aboard.

---

KYLE: No doubt technology has made it easier for the fans to connect and spread the word. Should we consider it a duty for the proactive comic fan to get on these forums and talk about these things via social networks like Twitter? In your opinion...

---

PATRICK: To me, this is a two-edged blade. When I joined Twitter, it was to follow some musicians and artists I enjoyed. That was probably two years ago, and it wasn't until 2012 when I found other fans to talk to about these things. It was like when the squirrel finally cracked that nut open. Just absolute coolness. I get to hear from other people about new series they are into *cough*Guerrillas*cough*DBCooper *cough* loll and we each get to share that positive, ENERGIZING vibe I mentioned earlier. But of course there is the other side, isn't there? The part where we start complaining. Sometimes it's constructive criticism, but the internet really brings out the asshole in people. Reading news stories is okay until you scroll down to the comments... ugh. I'm no better myself, either. I started a thread on a forum about analyzing my thoughts on each issue of a comic, but after about a week, I stopped because I didn't like the book and didn't want to be another one of THOSE people ruining others' fun and enjoyment.

---

KYLE: All very great points! You ready to change gears and answer some crazy questions?

---

PATRICK: Ready, Aim, Fire.......

---

KYLE: George W walks in your house and says “Hey Pat, I really need a comic book to read on the ranch. Whaddya got?" What book do you give him?

---

PATRICK: The Nightly News by Jonathan Hickman, or Pride Of Baghdad by Brian K Vaughan. LMAO I'm such a troll.

---

KYLE: Haha quickly moving to the next question Would you rather collect the comics or just buy the trade?

---

PATRICK: I'm at a point now where I'm no longer interested in buying floppies every week and keeping up with the hype machine. I just can't afford to "keep up with the (Rick) Joneses." It'd rather get a trade. They look better on a bookshelf.

---

KYLE: Your favorite kind of pizza is?

---

PATRICK: Pepperoni and Jalapeno. Although my wife got me liking jalapeno, pineapple, and bacon. Hot, sweet, and salty. Mmmmm

---

KYLE: Some may think it’s totally irrelevant, I do not... Coke or Pepsi?

---

PATRICK: Cherry. Cherry BOTH. Stuck, with a gun to my head, it would be Pepsi, even though I work just down the street from a Coca-Cola distributor.

---

KYLE: Anything else we should know before this interview ends?

---

PATRICK: I'd like everyone to know that I'm still a n00b as far as reviewing goes, and that any comments or criticism on my articles are invited. I'm grateful we have such a great community over at readcomicbooks.net and wish we can grow to include more and more new readers. Also....I want them to know there is a 20ft pink hippo behind them right now waiting for some Chinese food. Made you look. :)

There you have it folks!!! Get over there and read!

My Ridiculous Dream

Starring: @ReadComicbooks @Jaybwebb @JosephGreene01 and a suprised guest to be named later..

So there we were.. frantically diving in and out of every LCS in the city looking for the elusive DB Cooper #13 that was to be the least printed comic in history..

Our search led us to a Vocational Tech college that had a book store for educating the buisness students..

After begging and pleading from RCB the pretty cashier agreed to sell us the last 5 comics and for only $3! These comics were worth a fortune, but that's not why we were after them.. we were after the comic to complete our collection.

So we had our comics and were walking back to my house and we came across a cigar shop that was going out of buisness..

ReadComicbooks and I knew the deals to be had so we entered the store and bought everyone a Yardgar stick and then forced Joseph to smoke it with us. The 6'5 Jayb smoked his cigar in record time and turns out Joe liked cigars after all..

So we finally arrived at my home to find it completely empty.. " where's my family?"

Joe pointed outside my large window to the mob of zombies coming our way!

We ran upstairs to my gun cabinet and I started to hand out guns and ammo..

We went back downstairs to find the zombies in the house.. and we started blasting them.. one by one until we were completely out of ammo.. all hope was lost and the end was near until...

@elrevel kicked the door open rockin one of Rob Liefeld's massive gun's with two holes in the same barrel. He started spraying bullets through walls and was very proficient at killing every zombie in the house! "Thought you boys could use some help.."

Needless to say, we were all stunned and extremely grateful.. he walked us back out into the living room while he was explaining the details of the apocalypse..

@BrianChurilla could be seen outside setting the zombies on fire with his flamethrower.. just setting a sea of those bitches on fire.. and whats this? He must have stopped at the same cigar store because he was smoking the same cigar that we bought...

Then....

I woke up.

Completely ridiculous, yet awesome!
