| At Double Midnight we love comics and gaming. Owned and operated by Brett Parker
and brothers Chris and Scott Proulx, we opened our doors in July of 2002
in an effort to provide a fun and exciting place to shop and game. We're
committed to making our store the best it can be and we always welcome
your suggestions on how to make it better. Feel free to stop in a pick
up game in our arena or just chat comics. |

I've been into comics for over 20 years now. Someone on the
playground at school brought in the Wolverine figure from
the Secret Wars set. I thought the claws were the coolest
thing I had ever seen. I decided to round up as many comics
as I could find with him in them. Back then, there wasn't
alot of options. Unlike today....
And speaking of today.....I am currently enjoying a wide
variety of titles. What are these titles? Come on down and
ask me. You see, if I write any specifics, it could make my
bio seem dated. And since I don't update it as frequently
as I should, I'd like to at least appear fresh.

The Brothers Proulx -
Chris & Scott
Chris and Scott get into comics via GI Joe and Transformers
comics like a lot of the kids in the 80's. Over the years their tastes have
diversified to include a love for superhero comics. Chris is a self-professed
super-hero junkie and Scott is a fan of the Man of Steel. |

Growing up I was into Spider-Man and Superman,
as I got older, so did my comic tastes. I still read all the
staple superhero books, but I am reading a lot of Vertigo
books, such as Fables and Y: The Last Man. I'm a huge Preacher
fan, just because of the twists and turns. I regularly read
Marvel's Ultimate Line, anything Superman, and I'll try (and
most likely love) anything by Brian Michael Bendis and Ed
Brubaker. Mark Millar has been doing some great work, I've
been a fan of his since The Authority. Geoff Johns can do
no wrong. Green Lantern is amazing right now! Can't wait for
the Blackest Night! During the day I teach as part of an Alternative
Education Program in Manchester. My favorite game is HeroClix,
so if you're on for a game, let me know! Email me with any
questions or to just say hi! If you're on XBOX live, I'm Brainiac12,
hit me up with an invite!

I've read all these comics! Well, almost.

I have been reading comics for over 18 years
now. It all started when my mom bought me the treasury sized
G.I. Joe #1 which then turned me on to other Marvel comics.
I'm a total superhero junkie. Since opening the store I have
made the transition over to the DC Universe. I currently read
over 45 comics a month plus severel trades. My favorite books
are Green Lantern, Captain America, Y the Last Man and Justice
Society. My favorite characters are Robin, the Flash and Green
Lantern. My favorite writers include Geoff Johns, Kurt Busiek,
Brian K. Vaughn and Ed Brubaker. My favorite artists include
George Perez and Ethan Van Sciver. I've started 2 sketchbooks
which can be seen on our myspace page where I also blog on
Fridays. Some of my favorite comic related sites are: www.newsarama.com,
www.comicbookresources.com
