Our aim is simple: irreverent, uncensored, totally biased, and completely opinionated articles on comics, comic culture, and all the other popular art mediums surrounding it.
We’ve all had to deal with poorly written comics, bad art, cheesy dialogue, one dimensional characters, unoriginal storylines, and other injustices to the graphic art medium. It’s a part of being a reader–not everything you read will be good. In fact, some things will be quite terrible. But we keep on reading, keep on searching to find the gems hidden among the trash.
Thus, this blog Destroy the Comics. We’re just people who are comic book and pop culture enthusiasts. And we wanted to share our thoughts. No big deal.
This should go without saying, but obviously every article is the author’s own opinions. Sometimes we disagree with each other. Sometimes we don’t. But the person saying it is speaking for themselves unless otherwise noted.
Our Mission
So we’re starting a blog. It’s about comics and related things in the ‘nerd’ culture. That means movies, games, television shows, and culture. We will examine, review, report, and analyze on theses subjects of popular media and arts. No pretenses of fair and balanced coverage–when you’re looking at entertainment it’s all a bit of an opinion. We’re all biased in some way or another. We’re just trying to share honest, well written thoughts in our opinions, and hopefully entertain a few people along the way.
We are not here to lie to you. We’re here to break down the bullshit and take down the hype.
We’re Destroy the Comics, and we are going to write what we want.

Andrew the Angry
Professional Angry Man and Writer
Somewhere, EARTH
A classically trained artist who has been drawing, painting, and art-ing on any number of mediums since he was just a mini-Andrew. He went through serious artistic schooling throughout adolescence, moving on to a university fine arts program later on. He has experience working in a whole host of different jobs, from almost every industry dealing with people’s BS–he’s done it all and learned from every experience. Now he’s ready to hunt down tributes before they kill each other in their ignorant youth.
He’s currently working on his own comic, a little bit of a western yarn.

He’s currently working with artisan glassmakers in producing the raw material for American’s Next Top glass-thingy. Passionate about comics, you can find him at a local con or schmoozing with some artists for the new hot fire graphic novels.
