Feeling Dirty

[masteryoda]

So I'm at work, on break, reading a comic and some dude comes up to me and starts talking comics. That's all fine but then he goes onto to talk about comics he bought when he was a kid and he starts bragging that he owned all of Maxium Carnage and he goes on about how awesome the Death of Superman and he has like 3 copies of Spawn #1 and can't wait to cash them in. And I just nodded the entire time and agreed with everything he said. I think the words "Carnage ruled" actually came out of my mouth.
****, I feel dirty. But every so often I'll have a conversation like this and everytime I nod and pretend everything they like doesn't suck. I swear next time, I'm going to scream "you ruined the 90's for me" and run away in tears.

He'll get it when he doesn't fetch more than cover price for Spawn #1.

The funny thing is, that's how most people who don't read comics react when you talk about comics to them "Oh, you read Spider-Man? How nice....."

I don't have those types of conversations...

When I talk comics, most others listen...

Same here. No one I know actually knows a damn thing about comics. Hence all the time I spend around here.

I actually did like Maximum Carnage, though.

Yeah I get this every now and then too. It's a loose/loose situation because;

A) The person wants to talk comics. For me this is rare because everyone I know hates or doesn't really care for comics. So naturally I want to continue the conversation.

B) They'll start saying how they still have X-Men #1(from the 90's) or other crap, and I have to play along. Then they'll say how much X3 rocked....
