Hey everybody! Dan here. Sorry about the infrequent updates, I’ve been traveling a lot for work this past September, plus I got engaged! Yep, I’m about to be a married man! Not until next year, but still. Anyway the dust from September is finally beginning to settle, Secret Wars #6 is FINALLY out and Netflix’s Jessica Jones is right around the corner in November. Exciting times up ahead!
Future updates for the site will include more VS. battles and with the onslaught of comic book movies and TV shows on the horizon (Batman V Superman, Supergirl, Captain America, etc.), I would like to get some backstories up as well so you will be all prepared when those movies and TV shows come out.
Please drop a comment and let me know if there are any battles you would like to see and I’ll go through my archives and see if I have it. Since my fiance has moved in, we have been reorganizing my house (uh, excuse me, OUR house) to accommodate all of her furniture and I have been furiously scanning all my comics that I have been purchasing for the past 30 years onto my hard drives for easy access and to clear out some boxes in the storage room. So far we are at 1.5 TB of storage used and counting. And no i’m not getting rid of anything, they are going to a high security location somewhere near NORAD 🙂
Another update I would like to get live as soon as possible is a visual menu to the “VS. BATTLES” page. Right now, it’s just a list of hyperlinks and my vision for that is to change the list format into picture thumbnails. It’s a fairly easy process to create the thumbnails, it just takes forever, especially when i’m adding new stuff.
Thanks for reading and coming back to support the site. In October we hit over 37,000 total views since I launched the site in March 2015. That’s a hair over 4,600 views a month! I never thought I would get over 20 a month so this is awesome! I’m super excited to see where this site is at this time next year.
Thank you all for stopping by, I love each one of your faces and hopefully we can talk soon!

Greetings!
Hello! Welcome to my blog page! This is a page dedicated to comic books, comic book movies, pop culture news and other stuff that I find interesting. I will try to update this page as much as possible with the junk I find interesting. I hope you find it interesting too.
Why the name Lowbrowcomics?
Well, while comic books can be compelling, imaginative and extremely well written, they aren’t exactly Shakespeare. Even though I love reading them, the title of the blog serves as a reminder to just have fun with them.
Ok, cool. So what about you? Who are you?
I’m glad you asked!
I’ve been reading comics for more than 35 years! I remember the day I started pretty clearly. When I was about 3 or 4, my dad came home from work and among the little treats he usually brought home, he brought an issue of the Incredible Hulk, Daredevil and Power-Man and Iron Fist. It was all over after that. All night long we laid on the floor, reading these comics and even though I was too young to read them myself, I listened intently while he discussed and explained Daredevil’s powers, what happens when Hulk gets mad and Iron Fist’s prodigious use of Kung-Fu.
From then on out, I wanted to read as much as I could (not limited to comics of course) everything from the Marvel and DC universe. From then on out it was Spider-Man and his Amazing Friends on Saturday morning, Batman birthday cakes, Fantastic Four bed sheets, watching Superman movies and on and on and on.
At age 7 in 1984, I was at a birthday party and while most of the kids were playing with toys with the birthday boy, I noticed a TV on in the other room. I poked my head in to see what was on and noticed something strange on the tube. Something I had never seen before. Strange machines were walking across a frozen wasteland shooting lasers at peculiar looking ships, a man clad in all black with a deep raspy voice strode through frozen hallways looking for someone called “The princess”. Yep, you guessed it. The Empire Strikes Back. Thus began my second great love affair.
So there you have it, I’m not going to go through all my major milestones with comics, there just isn’t enough bandwidth available :) I just hope you enjoy my blog as much as I enjoy making it!
