I honestly didn’t expect to get hooked again. I was just browsing entertainment news and came across https://www.firstcomicsnews.com/x-men-age-of-revelation/ while looking for something else. It wasn’t even planned, but after reading about the new direction of the X-Men story I ended up checking older issues to remind myself who everyone was. Funny how one random article can bring back a hobby you haven’t thought about in years. I spent the rest of the evening reading instead of watching TV, and I don’t regret it at all.
I know that feeling. I stopped following comic series because there were just too many storylines happening at once, and catching up felt impossible. What helped me was reading short summaries first and then deciding where I actually wanted to continue. I don’t try to know every detail anymore because that just makes it less enjoyable. Instead, I focus on stories that seem interesting and ignore the rest. It turns reading into something relaxing instead of feeling like homework. After doing that, I found myself enjoying comics much more than when I tried to keep up with every single release.
