Wanting to learn more about the NPC's background stories, made me go out and purchase all these DC Comics within a span of three days......oh....the damage to my wallet D:

I've become really interested in the Batman storyline, especially Dick Grayson's story. I'm trying to find and collect all trade paperbacks that show his story, currently reading Batgirl: Year One. After reading Robin: Year One, I love how some of the same dialogue and scenes are presented through different viewpoints, even if they were written and drawn by different artists. It's almost like I'm slowly putting each small piece together to get the big picture, so exciting :D.
From what I've read on several forums and guides, the next trade to read would be Nightwing: Year One, but sadly my local bookstore did not have any of these in stock. So I just grabbed a
nything that had a hint of Dick in it, hence the last two trades of Nightwing, hahaha.
I've never bought graphic novels before, so I'm still a little new to how the whole western industry works, how issues are published and all the vocab. I've only known about mangas and Asian comics throughout my whole life, so this feels like I'm discovery a whole new world! This discover makes me feel like a kid again, frantically trying to catch up on the childhood that I missed. I do, however, have a ridiculous collection of manga at home. My mom recently had to order additional bookcases because the collection was getting out of control; completely warping the bookcases and all :P I might take some pictures once I get home.

I've been reading this really interesting book on the side.
An interesting viewpoint on how games have been giving gamers some essential competencies that are rarely picked up on in the real world. A definite recommendation to gamers and non gamers alike!
