Welcome to Our Blog!

S.M.R.
SEND MORE ROBOTS

Good evening everybody and welcome to the official blog of Send More Robots, a new internet channel dedicated to bringing you your weekly dose of nerdom and humor. Our merry little cadre will be covering everything from our favorite comic artists to our least favorite weathermen (probably not, but you never know). We'll be dropping our first videos tomorrow, but prior to that we wanted to tell you all a little more about ourselves in the most intimate way we know how. With our words.


So I'll put my money where my fingers are and start off this introduction fest. My handle is hawkeyeorhawkguy, but the others will often abbreviate this to "Hawk" or "Guy" for the sake of brevity. I'm just your mild-mannered human who works an unremarkable retail job by day and gallivants through the magical world of comics and vidjagarms by night. Admittedly, I wasn't always a video game and comic fan, but I was always a table-top gamer and avid reader. It wasn't until college that I was really bitten by the nerd bug, and unfortunately I didn't wake up with spider-like abilities, just a consistently empty wallet.

Here I am now, two years after graduating from the University of California with a degree in history (that I still have yet to pick up from the registrar's office) and my wallet is still empty. But I think I may have found a way to justify the bookcase full of comic trades and those single issues littering my room. With Send More Robots I can hopefully use my knowledge of the comic-verse to enlighten and assist others as they embark on their journeys through a land that is increasingly difficult to navigate. Boom, Dark Horse, DC, Dynamite, Marvel, Image, Valiant... Where do you even start?

I have no idea. But when I was 14 and I first read Batman: Bloodstorm, I wasn't worried about publishers. I just wanted another comic. And to this day I'm the same way. I'm far from an expert, but I'm here to help, and I'm here to learn from you. So let's get reading, huh?
