Well played, @alex_segura. My #comicsDNA:
1. SeaQuest- 1st I can remember buying with my own $
2. KC- fave book of all time
3. New Gotham era (esp. Gotham Knights- character 1st storytelling at its finest)
4. Loeb/McG’s Superman Batman. I desperately miss both at DC.
honorable #comicsDNA mentions: 1) kamikaze kaitou jeanne, 2) lovecom, and 3) honey and clover!
There’s a lot more but these comics are definitely in my #comicsDNA from kid to my teenage years.

1. I remember buying a Pearls Before Swine collection because my friend read/loved the strip.
2. Bleach got me hooked to manga/comics.
3. The art and humor of Urusei Yatsura influenced me a lot.
4. Petals is definitely one of the most beautiful comics I’ve ever read.
These are the comic books that helped me become a comic book fan and helped me realize I wanna make a comic book someday.

💛Here's my #comicsdna💛
1/ Nakayoshi serial, where I read Sailormoon, Magic Knights Rayearth, Card Captor Sakura, & many others
2/ LOVELESS, informed much of my style
3/ Weekly Shonen JUMP, got me addicted to Naruto & BLEACH
4/ Tenchi Muyo!, such gorgeous designs & stylization
So I love storytelling, and I love comics, but I've never really had the opportunity to really delve deep into a long form story until recently.
I'm working on one right now with a fantastic artist, and I can't wait to share it with you all
Here's what it's #comicsDNA looks like.
#comicsDNA 💕 here’s some big formative moments for me
1) first manga love, late 90s
2) intro to western comics, early 00s
3) first time i saw someone who looked like me in a comic (changed how i thought about the medium), 2006
4) first webcomic love, opened a whole new world!
My #comicsDNA can be summed up in two syllables: Nineties. I didn't have access to a comic book shop growing up. So I had random issues of random stories. But hell if I didn't read these issues over and over and over again. #comics
