To us, "fanboy" is a term that is used to attack someone or degrade a fellow comic book fan so i wrote this article to set some things straight.

If you're on a comic book website posting comments and staying up to date on upcoming CBM news and love comic book characters and stories........you're a fanboy. Accept it. I am.
