I love these gift exchanges for multiple reasons, the surprise that comes with them, the anticipation, and most of all the exposure I get to new things.

I'm a comic book enthusiast. I have a large collection of them from childhood up to current. Sadly I don't always have the time now to keep up on the new things that are happening. So this is the point of my love for redditgifts.

Exposure to new things, new concepts and new ideas. It's easy for us to plug in our favorite's. Deadpool. Colossus. And for the most part I'd be happy with comics centered around those characters, but I LOVE when someone steps outside of the comfort zone that reddit gifts essentially has us fill out!

I cannot thank my gifter enough for this. Birth Right looks amazing. I flipped through the first few pages this morning and had to put it down because from the very first page it looks like it's going to hit you right in the feels.

Admittedly Sex Criminals Volume 1 looks odd to me. I didn't get the chance to thumb through it this morning, but I have a feeling it's going to be a nice unique style of story like Transmetropolitan.

American Vampire: I'm an avid vampire and werewolf fan. I have a vast collection of World of Darkness books and have played Vampire the Masquerade and Werewolf the Apocalypse for years. I grew up with the Anne Rice ideal of vampirism. Over the past couple of years I've seen vampires shift from typical lore to become something more...majestic...I've had a little exposure to this novel before, but never bought it. I've been told that this really brings the horror aspect back to vampires!

tl;dr thank you so very much to my gifter! I'm going to have some wonderful reading material over the next couple of weekends! Thanks for exposing me to new things! I'm super pumped to dig into these!
