I proudly consider myself both a geek girl for my knowledge of technology AND a fangirl. As a fangirl, I’m partial to anything Jim Henson, but have a deep
love for Sci-Fi/Fantasy, graphic novels and comic book heroes. When it comes to
DC and Marvel I fancy myself more of a Marvel fan. My love for Marvel started
in the early 90's, when my then 4-year-old son and I

would watch Spider-Man The Animated Series everyday after school. I thought if we watched Spiderman together
maybe it would help me relate to my little boy or at the very least create a
bond. What I wasn’t expecting was to actually like the show. I
found myself becoming deeply attached to the characters and the storyline.
As a single mom, the soap opera love affair between Peter and Mary Jane was a
perfect way for me to live vicariously through them, providing me the social life I was
lacking. Any fanboy or girl understands how I could become
emotionally attached to cartoon characters. Shows like Spider-Man are really
well written and intended to have the kind of depth not found in your
typical after-school cartoons.
