Anonymous asked: Hi there, just wanted to say how much I'm enjoying Marvel 's stuff right now. As a 16 year old I'm not seen as a 'real fan' by a lot of people and that atmosphere scared me away from comic shops for a while but now with series like Brian Bendis's X-Men and James Robinson's FF I'm hooked! I now have a respectable collection of back-issues and one of my favourite parts is the reactions when I join in conversations about decades-old storylines and know what I'm talking about! Keep up the good work!

The idea that people in a comic shop would look at you as not being a real fan because of your age is moronic.
Send me an address, and I’ll send you a No-Prize that you can whip out if and when this ever comes up again—that will prove, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that you’re at least as legitimate a fan as they are.

Tom being awesome.
