The mastermind behind Blank Nerd and a certified nerd extraordinaire is our Chief Nerd Officer, Mike. He loves highlighting artists who create incredible works, and creators who collect amazing collectibles. From his own collection of replica Batmobiles to exclusive Marvel Funko Pop! Figures, his passion for nerd culture shines through. Beneath it all lies a lifelong love for comics, characters, and sharing nerdy passions.
Web Slinging at Warp Speed into Fandom
Mike's nerdy journey began, like so many others, with a comic book. Although he initially thought Star Trek: The Next Generation held the title of his first nerd love, a deeper memory surfaced – a web-slinging hero named Spider-Man. That first encounter with the Amazing Spider-Man sparked a fire that continues to burn brightly today.
But Mike's love for the nerdy world extends far beyond the friendly neighborhood Spider-Man. From the courageous leadership of Captain Picard to the fierce spirit of X-23, his heart belongs to a diverse cast of characters. This passion for all things nerdy fuels his impressive collection, a treasure trove that includes everything from rare comic book issues to stunning X-23 art. (We see you, Keran Grant's DMX-inspired Laura Kinney– pure awesomeness!)
Blank Nerd: A Celebration of Nerdy Greatness
Mike's love for collecting and admiration for nerdy creators have blossomed into Blank Nerd, a community that celebrates the incredible individuals who make nerd culture what it is—a universe of creativity, passion, and endless possibilities.
