It's time, we're waiting for you. We're tired of your excuses, your complaining, your everything else. We need you now more than we have ever needed you before, so it's time for you to use your boredom wisely.

I still love comic books. When you have a kid, that's an excuse to keep reading all the comic books. ↗
