Still, you'd probably survive a bit longer than I would, because I don't take fandom seriously -which is how I knew the generalization in the comic above was a joke.

I don't just like shows/comics/books about survival, I take outdoor survival classes and became first aid certified.<br /><br />Superheroes know how to fight, so I took 13 years of Shaolin Kempo and 3 years of Iaido swordfighting classes.<br /><br />I was raised in a military family, who taught me to shoot a gun. My bowhunter stepfather taught me how to shoot a bow.<br /><br />Don't assume that just because you're a nerd and useless in a crisis that ALL nerds are useless in a crisis.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8799511146497548002.post-44138780875616950872016-12-05T10:53:32.342-05:002016-12-05T10:53:32.342-05:00For a preview, see any pop culture con.For a preview, see any pop culture con.Warren JBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11743987856127631574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8799511146497548002.post-79520695777983978962016-12-03T22:52:48.285-05:002016-12-03T22:52:48.285-05:00I'm sure a heavy helping of anecdotal evidence...I'm sure a heavy helping of anecdotal evidence will help too.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8799511146497548002.post-21815068318487158162016-12-03T05:58:45.153-05:002016-12-03T05:58:45.153-05:00I dunno about low hanging fruit.

Especially considering a lot of the comic fans and Walking Dead fans in my social circle have military backgrounds, martial arts training, and/or proficiency with firearms. I rather like our chances.Marty Nozzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07510490538721656555noreply@blogger.com
