KirkFM is a still forming accident of an idea born out of a time when it was possible that the villains could win. Like all still forming ideas, you have to write about it to give it power. Discovering comics way too early, you can blame 80’s cartoon marketing to sell toys. A way to control him that horribly backfired. A Transformers tie-in comic guest starring a black-costume clad Spider-Man was the perfect gateway to bigger worlds that are still untapped. all waiting to be discovered so that the villains don’t win. Or you root for them and they do? That’s a bit heavy, isn’t it? Honestly, all that first part was true. But a more simple truth is that those influential moments led to my huge passion for comics and all the things that the greatest collaborative art entails, how it’s created, and how it affects our lives. Very early on I hid my first comic books inside an old acoustic guitar (a guitar I had to learn how to play to keep up the charade of maintaining the hiding place). My first job was at the local comic shop where most of my paycheck went back into new […]

I started reading comics at a young age and got my hands on early issues of Uncanny X-Men,Star Wars, Avengers,Iron-man,TeenTitans,Batman,The Incredible Hulk,Amazing Spider-Man and Daredevil to name but a few.Those titles left a large imprint on who I am and even today I find myself returning back to the titles I once loved. Needless to say, I was a fan boy early on thanks to my Uncle’s extensive Marvel Collection.Once I started really getting into comics and deciding what I liked, guys like Todd McFarlane, Jim Lee, and Rob Liefeld came onto the scene and I was hooked!Image Comics started and I started to look at comics outside the mainstream which pointed me to Hellboy,Madman,The Crow & Scud.Then like a dark cloud descending upon my local comic shops Magic:The Gathering came and what was once a safe haven to talk comics soon became the very place we felt unwelcoming stares. I was cast into the wilderness during the rest of my high school years only to pursue other geeky endeavors. The Summer of 2001 brought many new things to me. I had lived in Los Angeles for a year and needed to get a weekend job while in school.That was when I became a Comic Shop Weekend Manager and I was once again hooked. When […]

Contrary to popular belief, Lorem Ipsum is not simply random text. It has roots in a piece of classical Latin literature from 45 BC, making it over 2000 years old. Richard McClintock, a Latin professor at Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia, looked up one of the more obscure Latin words, consectetur, from a Lorem Ipsum passage, and going through the cites of the word in classical literature, discovered the undoubtable source. Lorem Ipsum comes from sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 of “de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum” (The Extremes of Good and Evil) by Cicero, written in 45 BC. This book is a treatise on the theory of ethics, very popular during the Renaissance.
