So what does all this mean to me, JediCole?  Take a listen to what a life-long collector has to say on the subject...

Every journey of a thousand miles starts with one step.  And every journey to something better in comic collecting and reading starts with some choices that, in retrospect, may seem poor.  But is it really a bad thing to have collected Image comics during their heyday?  Or was it part of a process of outgrowing the flash and excitement that surrounded an industry giant that came out of nowhere?This week Andrew and Cole welcome back the United States of Geekdom's own Rick Gutierrez to explore the early days of his collecting habits.  How did a foray into Image lead away from the glitz and gimicks and into much more compelling graphic fiction?  Learn first hand the allure of the Image partners and the inevitable disillusionment that came down the line.
