Yes, I swear like a sailor, you got a f***ing problem with that?!

About Me

I'm the Editor for Shadowline Comics, Jim Valentino's imprint at Image Comics. I reside in Chicago, and have a thing for Sara Lee Cheesecake. It's important to note the "Sara Lee" part, because considering I edit Bomb Queen, that comment is often misconstrued!I also freelance edit for a number of independent titles. Yay! :) Extra money for my broke ass!Please feel free to visit the Kris' Korner website, where you can buy Shadowline titles, and Editor Girl merchandise!


Kris' Korner Website

My Interests

Reading, writing, watching TV, gardening, shopping, and sleeping.

I'd like to meet:

The person who invented cheesecake. Mmmmmmmm!

Music:

I like a little bit of everything (except Country)...Korn, Breaking Benjamin, Disturbed, Moby, Enya, 30 Seconds to Mars, Metallica, Tool, Cold Play, Perfect Circle, White Stripes, No Doubt, Bif Naked, The Killers...and I'm sure I'm forgetting a ton more.

Movies:

My favorite movies change every time a new one comes out that I like.

Television:

I have Tivo!! 24, Lost, The Shield, Rescue Me, Supernatural, Smallville, The Unit, Desperate Housewives, Grey's Anatomy, Scrubs, The Office, Family Guy, My Name is Earl, The 4400, Entourage, Reno 911 and Bones. NEW: Heroes, Jericho, 30 Rock, Brothers and Sisters.

Books:

Whoaaaa...too many books to name! I read a couple of novels every week, of every type.

Heroes:

After thinking long about this, I'll go ahead and admit that my brother has always been somewhat of a hero to me. He's influenced my life greatly, and he does things and goes places I can only dream about! He got engaged on Mount Kilimanjaro (on Valentine's Day), and was married on the Greek Island Santorini at sunset. He's run with the bulls in Barcelona, and partied at Mardi Gras in Brazil! He went on a safari in Africa, and just got back from India. And he's barely 2 years older than me! On second thought, I'm thinking he's not my hero, I'm just plain jealous of the f***er!!
