My Interests

Comic Books naturally! Movies, music and endless debating of who whould win in superhero crossover battles. We all share a common love of drinking endless amounts of coffee, beer, and pansy-ass girly drinks.

I'd like to meet:

people interested in comic books, comic book artists,writers, inkers, colorists, letterers or anybody else interested in the greatest art form ever created! .... and some single, hot, gothic girls that could date Mike...Check out our friends... ..

Music:

Movies:

Our movie tastes vary somewhat, but we all really love Bad Boys 1 and 2, The Rock, and all of Micheal Bay's other films. Micheal Bay is a kick ass director and Mikey Carmean can qoute all of Bad Boys 1. We all also like The first Ninja Turtles, DC's and Marvel's movies, and Sin City. We're huge fans of The Last Boyscout, Back to the Future, Ghostbusters, and all of Kevin Smith's movies.

Television:

Magnum, P.I., Friends, Moonlighting, and That 70's Show.

Books:

Everyone at PLB likes The Dark Knight Returns, Sin City, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Batman/Superman and anything drawn by Jim Lee, Frank Miller or Micheal Turner and anything written by Jeph Loeb or Stan Lee.

Heroes:

Those who fight the forces of evil, and stand up for what is right.
